There are some things you probably don't know about November 8th. So much good (and maybe some bad, too) has happened historically on this day. Here are some of the highlights:- 1576 - Pacification of Ghent - ok I don't really remember what that means, but Ghent is like 40 minutes from my house!
- 1674 - John Milton dies - had to throw the english major in there somewhere
- 1793 - The Louvre opens to the public as a museum -- aren't we all thankful?
- 1864 - Abraham Lincoln is re-elected -- if only we had leaders like him today
- 1889 - Montana is admitted as a the 41st state -- eh, why not?
- 1965 - Days of Our Lives debuts on NBC - how did such a show last so long?
- 1971 - Led Zeppelin IV is released - aww yeah
- 1974 - Carol DaRonch narrowly escapes abduction by serial killer Ted Bundy in SLC - random, but somewhat local
- 1978 - Norman Rockwell dies - oh, sad
- 1981 - Joanna London is born - oh happy day!
- 1994 - for the first time in 40 years the Republican Party takes control of the House and the Senate - and then lost it again 12 years later...
- 2006 - Jo celebrates 25 years of coolness! - wahoo - finally you can rent a car!!!
Happy Birthday, Jo!
