December 7, 1941: “A date which will live in infamy.”
November 23, 1963: The world watched a little boy salute his father’s coffin.
September 11, 2001: “Terrorism against our nation will not stand.”

Alex Trebek read from the blue-screened square, “An airplane rises due to this Swiss man’s ‘effect,’ as a fluid’s pressure lessens when its speed increases.” I looked up at the TV.
BERNOULLI!
“Who is Daniel Bernoulli?” replied the Jeopardy contestant.
“The ONE piece of physics you remember…” Jon laughed. Continue reading
Someone seriously needs to get that dog micro chipped.
