Tidepool at Indian Point beach, Oregon. In 585 bce, a solar eclipse occurred, as predicted by Thales, while Alyattes battled Cyaxares at the Battle of Halys (also Battle of the Eclipse). Because the date can be located objectively on any calendar, this is one of the cardinal dates of history, from which other dates can be calculated.
In 1881 there was a violent thunderstorm near Worcester and tons of periwinkles and hermit crabs rained down from the sky, covering fields and a road, for about a mile.
In 1908, Ian Fleming was born (the author, not my brother). Perhaps ironically, White House “plumbers” chose this day to break into Democratic Party Headquarters in the Watergate Hotel (1972). The plumbers may have been planting a false flag, to divert attention from the Kennedy assassination investigation.
