Happy ANNIVERSARY, Everyone !

It is also the Anniversary of the Battle of Actium in 31 B.C.
That did not work out very well for Antony nor Cleopatra.

Great idea.

It is also the birthday of Ann Richards.

At the risk of being too technical,
your posted picture says that was yesterday.

Sadly, that co-incides with EITHER the beginning of the Second World War,
or
the resumption of the First World War, fulfilling the prediction of Gen. John Pershing in Nov. of 1918.
In any case, that was when the 3rd Reich invaded Poland: Sept. 1st, 1939.
Of course, WE got into it the day after Pearl Harbor Day.

U know, most of the time, I 'm a pretty anti-government kinda guy,
but I gotta admit that government really did a pretty good job
qua the Germen and the Japs in the first half of the 1940s.
