Go Skate Day and Finally Summer Day…If you cannot, due to lack of eauipment or stability, celebrate Go Skate Day, I recommend Sonic Drive In. I love watching the carhops skating between the cars and doing twists and twirls on their way back from or to the kitchen. A wonderful coincidence that this lands on Finally Summer Day lands on the Summer Solstice. Make sure you take your trip to Sonic and ger yourself a yummy milkshake, Chiller or Sonic Blast! I’ll be there!!!
In Birthday History: In 1982, Chuck and Di had their first prince, William Arthur Philip Louis, Prince William of Wales and second in line (after papa Charles Philip Arthur George) to the British throne. Here is an intersting coincidence Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross, Michael J Foxes parents on Family Ties, were born on the same day…today…the same year…1947. In 1925, actress, Maureen Stapleton was born-see her in All the King’s Men (1958), Bye, Bye, Birdie (a personal fave) or Cocoon. Jane Russell, actress, famous for her D-cup figure, was born in 1921-for proof of her figure, watch, The Outlaw, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes or any of her other nearly 30 roles. Novelist, Mary McCarthy known for The Company She Keeps and The Group. In 1905, Jean-Paul Sartre, philosopher/novelist/paywright-you can read his thoughts in Being and Nothingness, No Exit, and The Henry Martin Affair.
Kind of a slow history day...John Hinckley, Jr (not the characer also known as The Greatest American Hero, sadly he was affected), was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 1982 for the 1981 attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.
In 1947, Harold Dahl reportedly viewed 6 UFOs near Maury Island, Washington, USA. An apparently damaged donut-shaped UFO dropped slag-like material onto his boat, killing his dog and injuring his son. The next morning, a man wearing a black suit knocked on his door and invited him to breakfast to discuss the sighting. (He had yet to report it to anyone) The MIB, ‘suggested that he and his family may be harmed if the told of the nights happenings.
The Reaping Machine was patented by Cyrus McCormick in 1834. McCormick got the ‘deed’ to the unfinished reaper project from his father on his 21st birthday in 1830. With the help of a slave, Jo Anderson, McCormick perfected the machine, demonstrated it in several tests and patented on this day.
Happy Anniversary Zachary Taylor and Margaret Smith-Taylor (1810) and Richard Nixon and Patricia Ryan-Nixon (1940).

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.
