A Day in History

October 22 is the 295^th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar.  There are 70 days remaining until the end of the year. 

I am sure that you could pick any day and it would have some significance for their culture or history.  We’re never apt to sit around waiting for a special day to deliver on our promises.  We just act.  So for instance, what would weave the 22^nd into the memory of our lives?  Well in 1962 The US and Soviets were in a face off over missiles in Cuba.

  We were as close as any would say to nuclear annihilation ever, if it had gone differently the survivors would be living in an entirely different world then the one we know now. 

Or how about that the FBI shot and killed the noted gangster Pretty Boy Floyd in 1934 that signaled the end of the great robbers of the depression area. But the real beauty, for American’s  anyway, was on this auspicious day in 1914 Congress passing the Revenue Act mandating the first tax on income  From then on, all kinds of fiscal bedevilment has been afoot.

But let’s change gears and party ~

Heres to S=K Log 1 aka Weber-Fechner Law.
