8.13.13

Good morning Phoenix! Happy Tuesday - hope you all enjoy your day.
Here's the trivia for today:
On this day in:
1906: An all-black army unit was accused of a shooting rampage that left 1 civilian dead at Fort Brown in Brownsville, Texas. In 1972 they were all exonerated.
1961: The border between East and West Berlin was closed and marked with a barbed wire fence.
1995: Baseball great Mickey Mantle died of cancer.
And – on this date, our beloved little sis, Mira Nicholas-Archer was born, so send her some birthday love and gummy bears! (not telling the year – a lady never gives away her age….)
Speaking of gummy bears, in honor of the birthday girl, here’s some strange laws concerning food:
Los Angeles CA: It is illegal for a customer of a meat market to poke a turkey to see how tender it is.
Idaho: Boxes of candy given as romantic gifts must weigh more than 50 pounds. Good thing Mira doesn’t live in Idaho!
Chicago IL: Law forbids eating at a place that's on fire.
Happy Birthday Mira !
Have a fangtastic Phoenix day - GO PHOENIX!!
