Ah ha, enough already. But I had to tell everyone in case you forgot, the stock Music and Art Fair ended on this day in 1969. And some believe, a whole lot more ended too. Good lord, it must have been one hell of a pain in the ass to set up and run. A glaring reminder of what happens when all the pieces fit, and they did, for just a few days, and in a really weird way.
And talk about weird stuff, the Wizard of Oz opened this day in 1939.
And here's a topic dear to my heart, bad flying. On this day in 1859, mail was delivered by balloon from Indianna to New York. And as expected, the thing never made more than about 30 miles before being forced to land.
Born on this day in 1929 was another unlucky traveller, Francis Gary Powers.
Baseball legend Boog Powell was born on this day in 1941. I joke, but he was entertaining.
And in 1944, jazz great Louis Jordan had a hit with "Is you is, or is you ain't my baby?"
Hey oil was discovered in the Yukon on this day in 1959. Sure took them long enough.
Henry Ford starts up Ford Canada in an old wagon builders barn in 1903.
See ya tomorrow.
