Nice day for Paris

The Barn has been resting for a bit as I have been travelling again and spending time with my brother. So to catch up I usually do a good old what happened on this day, and wow, this time we have quite a crop.

On this day in 951, Paris was founded. Just how do you know when a city starts anyway?

In 1777, Vermont becomes the first state to abolish slavery. That's gotta feel good.

In 1885 the Liberty bell cracks, for the second time. They should have bought the extended warranty.

I an event heard around the world, Odore R Timby invents the rotating gun turret. The year in 1862. Hmmm, took that long?

On this day in 1932 the Dow Jones hits 41.22. That's gotta hurt.

In 1960, Havana's Sugar Kings are kicked out of Cuba and find a home in New Jersey.

And, born on this day in 1838 is Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin. Again, lets see the warranty.

Fritz Perls was born this day in 1893. Everyone remembers him as the developer of Gestalt therapy. Be aware.

And finally, on this day in 1908, Louis Jordan was born.

Tomorrow, back to the zaps.
