Yea Trivia

March 16th will forever be a huge day in our house. For the rest of the world, it is already famous for:

- In 1995 the forward looking state of Mississippi ratified the 13th amendment. Only 130 years late!
- In 1952, 73 inches of rain fell on Reunion - at least you don't have to shovel it.
- In 1815, Prince Willem takes the throne of Holland, leading to almost two hundred years of bright orange soccer jerseys.
- In 1621, Samoset visited the pilgrims at Plymouth Colony. He said "Welcome Englishmen, my name is Samoset". He maybe should have gone with "Get out of here" but that is another post for another day.
- In 597BC the Babylonians captured Jerusalem, thus settling the question of who owns Jerusalem for all time.
