On this day in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge opened. Which is good, because starting the show with the Tanner Family rowing across the bay isn’t quite the same.
On this day in 1703, St. Petersburg was founded by Peter the Great. Not to be confused with Tampa, which was founded by Tammy the Mediocre.
On this day in 1986, inventor Lonnie Johnson patented the Super Soaker. And to think that before then, you actually had to climb a tree to get your cat down.
On this day in 1941, President Roosevelt declared a national emergency in response to Nazis. Didn’t pardon them, didn’t hang out with them, didn’t hire them, didn’t tell them to “stand by…”
On this day in 1975, Andre 3000 was born – much to the joy of his father, Andre 2999.
Enjoy the present. And remember…The Garden’s Always Greener.
