This Day in History: May 2

On this day in 1933, the Loch Ness Monster was spotted for the first time in modern history. Not to be outdone – the other day, I spotted two Home Depot employees.

On this day in 1972, The Rock was born. Of course, his birthname wasn’t The Rock – it was The Pebble.

On this day in 1885, the first Good Housekeeping went on sale. And on this day in 2025, husbands still don’t know if it’s a good or bad idea to buy their wife a copy of Good Housekeeping.

On this day in 1972, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover died. His last words to the FBI: “Remember what’s important: don’t let people make copies of movies they rent.”

On this day in 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed. If you feel like celebrating, do two shots.

Enjoy the present. And remember…The Garden’s Always Greener.
