Happy anniversary to the shooting of Ronald Reagan, not by a movie camera, on this date in 1981. Typical--someone had to upstage me on my birthday. Way to ruin a three-year-old's fun.

Happy anniversary to the Pony Express, started on this date in the year 1860. The next day the first incarnation of the Back Porch was formed. The three-month lag between a posted fish pun and a response made for a less than ideal forum.

Happy anniversary to the first modern Olympics, begun in Athens on this date in 1896. They had to postpone the nude wrestling until the 10 p.m. show, when things got a little blue.

Happy anniversary to the premiere of Twin Peaks, first shown on this date in 1990. This is significant only in that a marathon of the recent season of the show is airing right now on Showtime. David Lynch material is really hard to watch.
