What’s Wacky Today? 

Today is National Bubba Day and National Rocky Road Day. First let’s address “Bubba”. Other than a term of affection for a southern cousin (or Uncle) or the famous movie “Bubba Ho-Tep”, I’m not sure. So for my loyal fans who visit here I did a little research into the holiday. OK; just finished my research. It seems that you can act either like a “Bubba” as in Bubba Gump’s Shrimp or a grandmother. You choose.

Heads Up for Tomorrow: National Donut Day, Repeat Day and National Donut Day.

What Wacky happened on this date in the past?

Way back in 1537, Pope Paul the third said “no” to the enslavement of Indians in the New World; I’m not sure what good that had coming all the way from Rome. Slavery is prohibited by the New Hampshire constitution in 1783. The Donati Comet is discovered by Italian astronomer Giovanni Donati in 1858 and Proctor and Gamble discover the cleanser version in 1956; almost 100 years later. 1875 is the year that Alexander Graham Bell discovers the principle of sending sound by wire which was the next step after wireless telegraphy. Telewoman becomes more advanced with what would soon become the “party line” with phones.

So there were a few things that happened during the years up to 1883, but notably in this year the first baseball game played under electric lights was played in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I guess it is true; “invent it” and they will come.

Pres. Grover Cleveland marries Miss Frances Folsom in the White House on this date in 1886; and probably felt like he was in Folsom from then on, or maybe she did; who knows? Wireless telegraphy is first patented by Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi in 1896; wireless “telewoman” was invented much before that. (No letters or emails please).

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, commit their first train robbery in 1899, netting them $30,000. In 1969 the movie grossed $102,308,900; about the same after taking into account inflation.In 1910 Charles Stewart Rolls (yep, one of the founders of Rolls-Royce) became the first man to fly an airplane non-stop across the English Channel both ways.  Also that same year, he tragically became Britain’s first aircraft fatality. In 1924, the United States grants full citizenship to American Indians; maybe people do listen to the Pope.

The American aircraft carriers Enterprise (the precursor to U.S. Enterprise???), the Hornet and Yorktown get into battle positions for the Battle of Midway in 1942. The 400 yard dash has a new record set by Herb McKenley from Jamaica in 1948. This record was held until sometime after 2000 when several hundred people simultaneously beat the record on a Black Friday big box store opening. In 1954 Senator Joseph McCarthy “charges” that there are communists working in the CIA and atomic weapons plants; today they also run for office.
