Today is Internal Autonomy Day (Fête de l’autonomie), a public holiday in French Polynesia. Oddly (to me), Even though French Polynesia achieved self-rule in September 1984, the date of this holiday commemorates the annexation of the Kingdom of Tahiti and the turnover of native sovereignty by King Pōmare V to France on this day in 1880.
Hmmm.
Today is the birthday, in 1945, of Little Eva. She was babysitting for Carole King and Gerry Goffin who asked her to record a song they had written. It gave her the 1962 US No.1 & UK No.2 single ‘The Loco-Motion’.
Creativity is not everything. These are creative but awful.
a bit of history
Bada Bing!
I don’t do drugs and I don’t drink. At my age, I get the same effects by standing up too fast.
Sitting in a recliner, naked, watching a movie, eating ice cream and Doritos, minding my own business, and Walmart calls the cops.
Lesson of the day:If someone calls you from a private number, respect their privacy & don’t answer.
The older I get the tighter companies are putting the lids on jars.
FYI: Your phone won’t autocorrect when you’re in caps lock because it assumes you’re angry and doesn’t want to get involved.
What’s the opposite of isolate?Yousoearly!

Today is the birthday, in 1945, of Little Eva. As a teenager she worked as a maid and babysitter for songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin. They knew she could sing and wrote this song for her. The song reached number one in the United States in 1962.
