Among other things, today, September 1st, is Pink Cadillac Day. Why? Good question. It has to do with Elvis Presley. Apparently he bought his mother a pink caddie on this day in 1956. Nice car - nice story. However, I prefer a 1965 or 66 Corvette.
September first is also known as Emma M. Nutt Day (First female telephone operator), American Chess Day, National Hummingbird Day, Mary Had a Little Lamb Day (published in 1830).
