Dammit! I messed up. I looked at my calendar wrong. I thought today was "Share Scorpion Bowls at Noon with Your Co-Workers Day." Oh, well. I guess the office will get over it, considering that it's afternoon now.

Every time "today" rolls around, that's the day.

Wow! I guess just before that it was nothing more than an underwater volcano. Statehood was August 21, 1959. I remember when that happened, plus Alaska earlier in January. 1959 was a great year for me as a kid.
