Almanac of Absurdities 8/22
Almanac of Absurdities 8/22/10, Reportedly Austria sent Unmanned Balloons against Venice on this day in 1849, marking the first attempted air raid. In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt became the first President to ride in an automobile on this day. Might have been a Cadillac, they'd been in business exactly one year on that day. Birthdays for Composer Claude Debussy, and Ray Bradbury. No, don't sing it.
