51 Days Until Next Year!
► November 10th, 1775 - The United States Marine Corps
Was Born:
" That two battalions of Marines be raised consisting
of one Colonel, two lieutenant-colonels, two majors and other
officers, as usual in other regiments; that they consist of
an equal number of privates as with other battalions, that
particular care be taken that no persons be appointed to offices,
or enlisted into said battalions, but such as are good seamen,
or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve
for and during the present war with Great Britain and the
Colonies; unless dismissed by Congress; that they be distinguished
by the names of the First and Second Battalions of Marines."

the Road
gazes also across you.

such occurrences into being.

to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.
Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or
the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
