Today is:
Summer Cool-Off Day (The day lemonade was invented in Paris 1630)
National Radio Day
Tucson Birthday 1775
Okay... it hasn't been warm enough this summer to need a cool-off day. I do like lemonade, so I guess I will have to be glad that it was invented in 1630.
You know though, I've got the feeling that "inventing" lemonade is a lot like "discovering" a new world: It's really only the publicizing of the "invention" or "discovery" that merits an anniversary.
Not that I mind so much. I never had a problem realizing that Columbus' "discovery" of the America's wasn't the first or only time someone had arrived on the land. Even as a child, I understood Native Americans had to have known of the existence of the land they lived on. I mean, duh!
Yay! A post. A POST
To those who may be interested, I have actually been writing. This is a good thing.
