Coincidence?? I think not!


Old pic of the old bag. I hope to get a new pic of it today, so maybe tomorrow we'll be able to compare. Monday is my work-on-the-house day, so I didn't take any pictures.

Today is the anniversary of the births of Emmanuel Swedenborg, Thomas Paine, and Leadbelly.

Also, in 1978, during Mass in Madaba Greek Orthodox church, south of Amman in Jordan, an icon of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus sprouted a third hand. Perhaps co-incidentally, on the same day in the village of Zlafon near Jerusalem, a calf was born with three mouths.

"Romeo and Juliet" is believed to have debuted on this day, in 1595. "The Raven" was published, too.
