POST-MOTHER'S DAY EDITIONYesterday was Mother's Day which was first recognized in the US by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914 which he declared the first national Mother's Day (2nd Sunday of May). The history of Mother's Day itself stems back to England and perhaps even further back but firm details or facts are sketchy at best. However, in the US it was an idea influenced by Ann Jarvis in 1858 to help improve sanitation in which she called it Mothers' Work Days.
Weekly Update:
Not too much went on this past week except the same old junk I guess. Drove around in a Toyota Highlander (SUV) which wasn't too bad. Very comfortable, good mileage and tons of space. The downside was that it was hard to park but other than that, its a decent card. The sound system was really nice, I like the systems where as you drive faster or the noise level increases due to outside sound, the music adjusts itself accordingly. I did have to switch cars on Saturday and I have a Chrysler PT Cruiser. So far, not impressed at all with it.
