A Couple Interesting Things About Today
on June 30th, 2008 at 11:10 pm100 years ago a comet impacted the Earth in Tunguska, Russia.
50 years ago Congress voted in favor of making Alaska the 49th state of the United States. The greatest day in Alaska history. Watching the news tonight they showed a bunch of file footaged and I was amused, but not surprised, to see that the old Alaska/Texas rivalry was alive and kicking from day one. Some things never change, eh?
Tonight on the news one of the anchors left. John Tracy. It’s a strange feeling because I pretty much grew up listening to his voice. It will be weird to watch the news from now on. I’ve had that feeling a lot recently, as all the voices I knew as a child are growing old and either retiring or dying. It makes me feel old and that’s not fair! I’m too young to feel old.
