On this day in 1869 - 1st carload of freight (boots & shoes) arrives in SF, from Boston on the newly completed Transcontinental Railway………………. On 08/23/1872 - 1st Japanese commercial ship visits SF, carrying tea, I suppose this was the Japanese tea party,,,, Ha-ha-ha-,,,,, 73 years later we had to Nuke them in order to get them to start behaving…. Now what in the world are we going to have to do with China?.........On 08/23/1889 - 1st ship-to-shore wireless message was received in the US (SF)…. On 08/23/1900 - National Negro Business League organizes (Boston), Martin Luther King wasn’t in attendance… In fact, he wasn’t even born……. Sort of leads one to speculate what his true worth in the scheme of things really was……. On 08/23/1914 - Japan declares war on Germany in World War I,….. There’s that Japan again, less than 70 years later they were Germany’s ally…..On 08/23/1929 - Arabs attack Jews in Israel,, err uhhh, Palestine, looks like this type of stuff has been going on for ages……. If it wasn’t the Canaanites, Babylonians or the Romans, it seems to always be someone else……. On 08/23/1939 - USSR & Germany sign a non-aggression pact, so I guess Great Britain and Neville Chamberlin weren’t the only ones getting bullshlited on that account….. Because on this day in 1940 – the German Luftwaffe begins night bombing on London..and speaking of bombing and promises, well on this day in 1942 – during the Battle of Stalingrad: 600 Luftwaffe aircraft bomb Stalingrad (40,000 die)….. And on this day in 1944 - Allied troops succeeding in capturing Marseilles France,…..again…. And as usual the French loved us again, for a couple of months anyways……… And on On 08/23/1953 – the USSR performs nuclear test…….. So on On 08/23/1957 - US performs a bigger nuclear test at a Nevada Test Site outside of Las Vegas…….. We’ll show those Ruskies now won’t we!!!!!..... And on On 08/23/1960 – It was realized that Louisiana’s frogs aren’t really that big, the world's largest frog (3.3 kg) was caught in Equatorial Guinea……….. And on O08/23/1963 – The US performs another nuclear test at the same Nevada Test Site outside of Las Vegas……… Tradition is hard to break from I suppose….. And on 08/23/1975 - Communists finally take over Laos after getting rid of the United States, and today they are making lead tainted toys that go in the Christmas Stockings of American Children, I guess they are going to show us!!!!!!!! And on this day in 1976 – A Heavy earthquake strikes China, 1,000s die…… and on 08/23/1982 - USSR performs nuclear test at Eastern Kazakh/Semipalitinsk USSR…….. This sure is a popular day for testing nukes for some reason!!!!....... But here’s one for the record books, on this day in 1987 – a 15-year old boy hijacks KLM B737, and demands $1 billion…… I guess a million dollars didn’t appear to be what it used to be in this lads eyes….. On 08/23/1987 Violent rainfall/floods in Bangladesh, kills 100s……… On 08/23/1990 - Armenia declares independence….. It is situated somewhere around Georgia………………… and on 08/23/1990 – the US begins the call up of 46,000 reservists to the Persian Gulf…….. How many are over there now 18 years later???? Written by
