The 3rd day of March 2022 has arrived. I’m going to start toady’s post with a question: If you could pick one person who is no longer alive to spend an afternoon with who would it be? It’s actually “almost” possible. Type in their name and put “quotes,” search and start reading. It’s the most interesting part of putting this post together each day. March 3rd is 33 Flavors Day, Canadian Bacon Day, I Want You To Be Happy Day, Mulled Wine Day, National Cold Cuts Day, Moscow Mule Day and Talk In 3rd Person Day. Steve likes talking in 3rd person, and he wants you to be happy today. Now to history: In 1634, the 1st tavern in America opened in Boston. In 1812 the US Congress passed the 1st foreign aid bill to aid Venezuela after a major earthquake. On this day in 1837 Congress increased the Supreme Court membership from 7 to 9. This is the day in 1845 that Florida became a state. Finally, in 1934 John Dillinger broke out of jail using a wooden pistol. He said, “I rob banks for a living, what do you do. This is also the day that Chief Joseph was born in 1840. Chief Joseph said, “I do not believe that the Great Spirit Chief gave one kind of men the right to tell another kind of men what they must do.” “The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.” I’ll end with this one: “Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stoop, free to work, free to trade where I choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think and act for myself, and I will obey every law or submit to the penalty.” Abide.
