- On Camera Day, I recommend that you use a camera. Do you know who invented the camera? No one knows the name of the man that first discovered an image ‘painted on a wall opposite of a hole in a wall, but it was over 2000 years ago. He just painted over the image to make it easier to see, problem was, it was upside down. Since they couldn’t turn the building they brought in a gallows and hung people by their feet so they could see the image properly. Doctors immediately saw a rise in aspirin sales.
- For Hug Holiday, I hope I don’t have to suggest that you hug someone. Cause, that is the point of the day.
- I recommend a hearty breakfast, lunch or dinner of waffles. Belgian are my mother’s faves, but, if they shortage is over, go ahead and celebrate with an Eggo.
Do you know anyone who was born on this day/? I do…Actress, Sharon Lawrence; Comedian Richard Lewis; Actor, Gary Busey; Civil Rights Activist, Stokely Carmichael; George W. Goethals, Panama Canal engineer.
- 2003, One of my all time favorite actresses IN THE WORLD, Katharine Hepburn, died at the age of 96. Read her bio, it is intriguing.
- In 1995, The USSS Atlantis docked with the RSS Mir. As if this isn’t enough history, the union made the this the largest man-made satellite to orbit Earth. I wonder if Guinness was there to verify.
- In 1971, The US Supreme Court ruled against the death penalty. It suggested new guidelines for sentencing. In 1976, capital punishment was reinstated. In 1977, Gary Gilmore became the first person to be executed following the ban. He chose firing squad in Utah.
- Near New Orleans in 1967, a car rear-ended a truck which had been hidden by a thick mosquito killing fog. The accident killed Jayne Mansfield, Ronald Harrison (a driver) and Mansfield’s companion and lawyer, Sam Brody. Her 3 children ( Mickey,8, Zoltan,6, and Marie,3) were in the back seat and survived with minor injuries. Marie’s full name is Mariska Hargitay.
- It was a sad day in 1613, Shakespeare’s Globe Theater burned down.

I will do my best to review this comment and add it as soon as possible. Sorry, but if it is mean, crude, disgusting or irrelevant I can't post it. Remember we are supposed to be celebrating not dragging people down.
