8.22.13



Good morning and Happy Thursday Phoenix! Make it a great day.
On this day in:
1846: The United States annexed New Mexico.
1902: Theodore Roosevelt became the first United States president to ride in an automobile.
1989: Black Panther co-founder Huey P. Newton was shot to death in Oakland, Calif.
Famous Birthdays:
Claude Debussy, composer (1862)
John Lee Hooker, blues musician (1917)
Ray Bradbury, writer (1920)
Norman Schwarzkopf, general (1934)
E. Annie Proulx, writer *Brokeback Mountain* (1935)
Tori Amos, musician (1963)
In honor of the anniversary of New Mexico’s annexation, today’s strange laws come from that State:
Albuquerque NM: Women may walk in public topless provided they have their nipples covered.
Deming NM: Hunting is prohibited in Mountain View Cemetery.
Las Cruces NM: You may not carry a lunchbox down Main Street.
Have a Fangtastic Midnight Breed kind of a day!
