RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

NOVEMBER 1

On this date in history:

In 1800, U.S. President John Adams moved into what we now call the White House and was the first to live there. Where did George live?

In 1870, the U.S. Weather Bureau (later renamed the National Weather Service) made its very first forecast. They haven't got it right yet.

In 1876, the National Geographic magazine showed the unclad breasts of a woman for the first time. They've been thrilling fifth grade boys ever since.

In 1939, the first thing born of artificial insemination was displayed to the world. It was a rabbit. Like rabbits needed our help?

In 1982, Honda became the first Asian automaker to produce automobiles in the United States with the opening of their plant in Marysville, Ohio. It was an Accord and the U.S. auto industry hasn't been the same since!
