Welcome, blue Monday! Or maybe it’s green. Or yellow. Or a rainbow. Whatever it is, I’m glad it is.<\/p>\n
So, on this day in history, a few events selected as outstanding if not notable….<\/p>\n
1777<\/b> — Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is the capital of the United States for one whole day. (For all that I know, it may still be the capital of “Mennonitism.”)<\/p>\n
1821<\/b> — Mexico gains its independence from Spain…and borrowed from its 47-year-old northern neighbor’s name: Estados Unidos Mexicanos<\/i>.<\/p>\n
1905<\/b> — The journal Annalen der Physik<\/i> publishes Albert Einstein’s paper “Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?”, introducing the equation E=mc2.<\/p>\n
1928<\/b> — The United States recognizes the Republic of China. Would it still recognize it today?<\/p>\n
1933<\/b> — Baby Carol was born. Many years later I became her nephew. Happy Birthday, Aunt Carol!<\/b><\/p>\n
1939<\/b> — Warsaw (Poland) surrenders to both<\/i> the Nazis and the Communists?!<\/p>\n
1964<\/b> — The Warren Commission releases its (in)famous report concluding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating President John F. Kennedy. Maybe so.<\/p>\n
1979<\/b> — The United States Department of Education becomes the thirteenth US Cabinet agency. How lucky is that?!<\/p>\n
1994<\/b> — More than 350 Republican congressional candidates gather on the steps of the US Capitol to sign the “Contract with America.” How did that<\/i> hope and change work out?<\/p>\n
2010<\/b> — Mark and Ruby Roth relocate their sleeping quarters to their next place to live. (At posting time, this is a predicted plan and not an accomplished reality.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
