December 7th

I never knew that was such an interesting day. Obviously, as most of you probably do, we as Americans recognize it as Pearl Harbor Day, the day on which the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, HI, and honour the veterans who served during that day (as if we should have singular dates to do that...). But did you also know that in 1787, the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution (Delaware) did so on this day? And in 1917, the U.S. declared war on Austria-Hungary on this particular day. Apollo 17 was launched on this day as well. And on December 7th, 1982, the first execution by lethal injection was carried out in Texas. Last but not least, Hamid Karzai was inaugurated on this day last year.

Oh yeah, and T.O. was born on this day. How interesting...

over and out

P.S. I've decided to put a different quote in each of my future posts from a little poster that I love...

"Life is not a problem to be solved, but a gift to be enjoyed."
(Read Psalm 118:24)
