What a Difference a Day Makes

On November 18th:

  • William Tell shot an apple off of his son's head
  • Christopher Columbus discovered Puerto Rico
  • The five time zones were established in North America
  • Mickey Mouse's birthday and the day that the first cartoon with sound was released
  • The first book was printed on a printing press
  • The first teddy bear was made and named after Theodore Roosevelt
  • I was born sometime around 10am on a snowy day
I wonder if anything historic will happen this year... besides my birthday, that is.
