APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

Close...so close, I'll give it to you!

1865 (150 years ago this year BTW) -
Lincoln was shot on the night of April 14...
He died on the morming of April 15.


47 years later...

1912 -
The Titanic struck an iceberg on the night of April 14.
It sank on the morning of April 15.


A little known side story of the Titanic:
It was carrying a load of Mayonnaise ultimately bound for Mexico.

Mexicans hold an annual event commemorating the loss...
Sinko de Mayo.

RE: you worry me

Once AGAIN...None of this explains, nor implies, WHO did WHAT or WHY...
It DOES point out that the commonly held concept of what occurred is NOT what happened.

RE: you worry me

"Eliminate the impossible.
Whatever is left...no matter how improbable...must be true."
- Sherlock Holmes / Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

Sounds plenty good enough reason to me, Wallops!...
PAR-TAY!!!


But, there are two events more widely known.
"Celebrate" might not be the appropriate word...for either event.

RE: you worry me

"On Sept. 11, ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four planes in my country."

That's the FIRST - and foundational - misconception.
We cannot be sure what, exactly, was done. Nor by whom.
But that statement is uncontestibly untrue.

APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

Sooo....
Wanna let us know the Double Historic Significance of April 14 & 15, Wallops?

You DO seem to have an almost God-given gift for setting some of these thins up.

It's a blessing & your "gift" makes us all a bit happier.

RE: ???

Righto, Johnny!!!
You betcha...and it'll be necessary!
Hell...It already IS.
Search the Executive Orders implemented by "Governor Moonbeam" to deal with a California drought...RIGHT NOW!

And again I say...necessarily so!
If we allow people to CHOOSE to live in an area, in numbers beyond the natural carrying capacity of the area, they will...MUST...have their individual CHOICES regulated to conform to physical reality.

Much as we (especially Americans) have elevated "Freedom Of Choice" to near cult like status...our choices ARE ultimately limited by laws of nature, if not those of man.

RE: ???

Oh NOOOO, Ken!
It's a wonderful advance in technology!!
Among other things...All your medical history...right there!
How vital for aging boomers!

In a medical emergency...one swipe of a reader thingy...
EMS knows precisely how to address your individual situation!

Don't you think that's just GREAT?!



Neither do I.

But you KNOW people will line up for days in advance...
to be the first to get it as soon as it's available.
Just like a new phone...or pad...or whatever.

Hmmm...Wonder what Nurse Lou's take on 'em would be?

APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

Black Ginger...
Red Locs?
(Synonym...from the Urban Dictionary.)


But we diverge...
Any history whiz know the DOUBLE significance of those two dates??

APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

....Tough luck Angel
Black Ginger IS rare!!

Read about it in the Urban Dictionary.

APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

We'll pause for awhile, so y'all can put on yer
thinking caps & ponder the poser in the original post.

APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

I've have 2...
One Autumn (Auburn hair/Hazel eyes)
&
One Celt (Fair/Blue eyes)
(Those are Ginger terms, y'all! )

How 'bout you, Angel?
Any little Gingers?

APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

Y'all talk among yerselves for awhile...


We'll be back in just a little while!

APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

You are correct, of course, Major Nam!
However...I'm referring to TWO one time historic events.

APRIL 14/15: DOUBLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! WHY?

Now...
What is the DOUBLE Historic Significance of the dates...
APRIL 14 & 15?
