### Happy...

August 24th, everybody!
Did you know that on this day:
In 79 A.D., Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried Pompeii?
In 1814, The British set fire to the White House and Capitol Building?
In 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as leader of the USSR after the failed coup attempt August 18-22?
But, Samuel, which of these are we celebrating? If it was the organization of the Primary, you're off by one day. That happened on August 25th.
