    February 26

    1802 - Victor Hugo, France...the great writer, best known for "Les Miserables" and "Notre-Dame de Paris" aka "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" also many notable quotes...and on February 17, 1836 he received some rather "hot" words from French actress, Juliette Drouet --- "There are days when one can fix one's eyes upon the sun itself without being blinded: thus it is with me now. I see you, I am dazzled, entranced, and I grasp your beauty in all its splendour."

    1808 - Honore Daumier, Marseille, France...Painter, printmaker, sculpter noted for commentary of political and social life in 19th century France.

    1829 - Levi Strauss...still the best jeans for ~SP~

    1846 - William "Buffalo Bill" Cody...the real one. Not the one Clarice Starling was after.

    1852 - John Harvey Kellogg...corn flakes

    1866 - Herbert Henry Dow...lover of chemicals

    1907 - Dub Taylor...ratted out Clyed & Bonnie in the movie...gotta love "Dub"

    ...oh. and in 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from exile on the island of Elba...he once wrote in 1807 to Madam Marie Walewska. "I have seen only you, I admired only you, I desire only you"...ooh! smooth operater! I wonder if that swung the "Hokey Pokey"

    3 March ...

    In 1956, the most wonderful man to ever walk the face of this earth was born ... at least in my eyes.

    Nearly 2 years ago, this guy introduced me to this game.  I used the username "Daddys Kat" just to let him know I joined ... he's my first friend on my long list of friends.

     

    Happy Birthday uncle Rich!  While you choose to be my favorite uncle (which you are, bar none) In my eyes, you'll always be my "Daddy".
