Something Special on Your BD?

[Virgo10]

Your birthday, is something else noted for falling on that day? It doesn't have to be a big holiday. It can be something simple but something people know about, say, like Arbor day or daylight savings time starts.

September 10th is the height of the hurricane season. That must be the reason I'm possessed with the weather. Also, some years my BD falls on Grandparents day which is the first Sunday after Labor Day.

Anyone else?

Just did a quick search for my birthday July 25. It seems that the Scopes "Monkey Trial" ended on my birthday and Truman made the decision to use the bomb.

Don't look forward to mine anymore since my mom passed away 4 days before my birthday 6 years ago. Sure hate Jan 19th!

Well I checked and it's been a fairly uneventful day, with the exception of Pat Garrett shooting Billy the Kid, the birth of Clement Clark Moore, the arrival of the 1st duck billed platypus in America and a patent issued for margarine. All the ingredients for a stand-up comedy routine.

Yes, important things happened on your birthday!!

In 1991, the collapse of the soviet union. "More than 100,000 people rally outside the Soviet Union's parliament building protesting the coup that deposed President Mikhail Gorbachev. Estonia reclaimed its indenpendence and seceded from the Soviet Union. Estonia had been occupied by the Soviets for more than 50 years."

I knew that I shared a birthday with John F Kennedy and Bob Hope, but I did not know these little tidbits...

1970 -- The United States Customs Service Detector Dog Training Center graduated its first class of officers and sniffers.

Humans first stepped upon the highest point on Earth's surface, the summit of Mount Everest, exactly fifty years ago. Two members of a British expedition to Everest, Edmund Percival Hillary (a New Zealand beekeeper) and Tenzing Norgay (a Sherpa from Nepal), reached the peak on the morning of May 29, 1953.

I also found out Patrick Henry was born on the same day and next year my birthday will fall on Memorial Day.
