ON THIS DAY
It was on this date in 1647, Naples revolted against Spain. I think they eventually settled their differences and opened an office supply store, called "Snaples."
On this date in 1754, King's College opened up in New York. No, it didn't become Trump University... 30 years later, it was renamed Columbia College. That was back when the Ivy League was just a transplant.
In 1846, the U.S. flag was raised in California. Back then, California was a different place, where most people spoke Spanish and... uh, never mind.
On this date in 1891, travelers checks were invented.
Construction of the Hoover Dam began in 1930. Frankly, I don't think it looks anything like him.
On this date in 1946, Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini became the first American Saint, if you don't include St. Louis.
In 1968, the original "Morris the Cat" died. But he made the most of his 9 lives.
On this date in 1987, the Kiwanis Club voted to admit women. Admit women what, I don't know. Admit they were right?
In 2003, NASA launched its second Mars Rover, with the words, "Blastoff! Now, go get 'em! That's right, boy! Go get 'em!"

- Finally, we had something to leave home without.
- The person it was introduced to said, "Your face is familiar. Haven't I cashed you before?"
- They wanted to congratulate the inventor, but he was never home.
- BTW, do people still do travelers checks?

TODAY IS
Gold medal figure skater Michelle Kwan turns 37 today. She's not a big fan of birthday parties, so it'll be the short program.
Actress Jorja Fox turns 49 today. First, she was on "E.R.," then "C.S.I." She's never worked on a show with a full word in the title. She's doing fine but her career is reported as "missing."
Vonda Shepherd is searching her soul tonight and celebrating her 54th birthday. Her claim to fame was singing the theme song to "Ally McBeal." Wonder how long she'll keep riding that pony.

Shelley Duvall, Robert's little girl, turns 68 today. I remember her best as Jack Nicholson's wife in "The Shining." I had a vacation like that once.
Ringo Starr is 77. He's half of the surviving Beatles. The old joke, back in the day was, "A guy walks into a barbershop and says, 'Make me look like Ringo Starr.' So the barber grabbed a brush and broke his nose." I didn't say it was a good joke.

- If you indulge in chocolate chip, your love style is: Flirtatious. You're a charmer who can't stand to lose any guy you've set your heart on. You'd melt for a chocolate lover who'd be drawn to your intensity.
