(WICKED) THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Thrift is a wonderful virtue --
in an ancestor.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY

1869 The Suez Canal opened; known as "the ditch" to U.S. Armed Forces, the 101-mile waterway provides passage from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY

1913 The Panama Canal opened (unofficially); the 51-mile waterway cuts through the isthmus of Panama, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. President Teddy Roosevelt played a central role in making the canal a reality, for he recognized the significant economic and military advantage that the Atlantic-Pacific passage would provide the U.S.; the American Society of Civil Engineers declared the canal one of the modern "seven wonders of the world."
