Today is Moon Day. Moon Day commemorates the day that Americans (and the first humans) walked and landed upon the moon. Sharing this day is Ugly Truck Day. I don’t understand this day. I don’t understand the ‘draw’ to having an ugly truck. I like trucks, but I like mine shiny and pretty.
- 1977- Johnstown, PA dams failed, causing a flash flood which killed 84 and cause millions in damage. A near repeat from an 1889 event, which killed more than 2000 people.
- 1973- Bruce Lee died of a brain edema at the age of 32.
- 1972- After a two year study, the USDOT ruled against advocate Ralph Nader’s accusations that the 1960-1963 Chevrolet Corvair was unsafe.
- 1976- Viking 1 landed on Mars. I wonder if Odyssey’s Phoenix got pictures of it…If not, I wonder if it is still there.
- 1969- Man walks on Moon. Neil Armstong became the first man to walk on the moon, that is after the eagle landed.
- 1881- Sitting Bull surrendered to the US Army.
Happy Birthday…

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.
