This day in history

"On Aug. 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing American women the right to vote, was declared in effect." (via NY Times)
Everyday, I get the New York Times headlines delivered, for free, right to my email. Since I started doing this, I feel far more informed as to what is going on in the world. Most days, there are maybe two articles that I actually read, but it's better than my previous no-news-because-I-hate-TV-news lifestyle. Everyday, there is an "on this day in history" factoid (e.g. the factoid above).
Now, do I have anything to say about woman getting the right to vote? Eh, not really, other than I'm certainly going to exercise that right this year.

On a totally different topic....
I have never seen my mailman. I've lived in my current apartment for over a year now, and have yet to run into him/her as I am arriving or leaving home, taking the dog out, or even walking down the street. While this may seem inconsequential (and really, it is), I find it very odd. Every other place that I have ever lived, I have seen the mailman. Even in Phoenix, where the mailboxes were nowhere near my apartment, I saw the mailman from time to time, stuffing mail into little boxes. Mailman, mailman, where are you???? Perhaps I shall make it my mission to meet my mailman (I don't even know if said mail carrier is male or female!!). To be continued if and when I ever meet the mailman....
