Hey, folks,

On this day, in the year 49 CE, there was a huge fire in Rome. Some say Nero literally played the fiddle while he watched the city being consumed. I'm a little skeptical.

And in 1545, the Mary Rose sank off England. Believe it or not, they raised her a few years ago, and found many woodworking tools on board.

In 1870, France declared war on Prussia. They lost.

In 1893, Vladimir Mayakovsky, a poet no-one has ever heard of, was born in Georgia. Not the Georgia in the south, the one in Asia, near the Black Sea.

And on this date, a mere 29 years ago, our own Darren Wright was born, somewhere in the US.

Or so he claims! ;)

Happy Birthday, Darren!

Thanks,

Bill

Happy Birthday fiddler. Thanks for fiddling with our system all this time it takes a good fiddler to keep things in order with the musically inclined audience we have here.:D
