ON THIS DAY
It was on this date in 1860, the very first silver mine in the U.S. was opened in Virginia City, Nevada. Not only was it expensive to build a mine out of silver, but it seemed to always need polishing.
On this date in 1909, the SOS distress signal was first used by an American ship.
This is the birthday of the Green Bay Packers, who were formed on this date in 1919. Congrats to the Head Cheese of the Cheese Heads.
It was on this date in 1933 that a world record was set when the temperature reaches 136 degrees Fahrenheit at San Luis Potosi, Mexico. It was so hot, bread instantly turned to toast. Cows started giving evaporated milk. You know. Hot.
On this date in 1934, the first prisoners arrived at San Francisco's Alcatraz Prison. Imagine having the "Welcome Wagon" franchise in that neighborhood...
In 1951, a baseball game was broadcast in color for the very first time. Unfortunately, it was the day the guy with the color TV set was having problems... but he still enjoyed watching a game between the Boston Purple Sox and the Chicago Gray Sox.

TODAY IS
Exactly 3 months away from Veterans' Day.
Mac Daddy from Kris Kross is 39 today. Might as well... Jump! McDonald's really should have had him as a spokesperson.
Joe Rogan turns the big 5-0 today. Years ago, he was the host of a show called "Fear Factor," where contestants had to do daring things. Today that would be the perfect name for a financial news show.

Eric Carmen, who at one time was the leader of "The Raspberries," turns 68 today. He sang "Hungry Eyes" from "Dirty Dancing" and a version of "All By Myself"... which Harry Nilsson and Celine Dion both sang, ironically.
