Burkas on Wednesdays |
Welcome to Burkas on Wednesdays. Wednesday May 28, 2003 Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and seemingly useless data. Do not forget to hit the hyperlinks. We have links, lots of them.
Burka
A burka, burqa or burqua, also called chador, is women clothing covering the whole body, including the whole face. The eyes are covered with a 'net curtain' allowing the woman to see while other people can not see the eyes. It is used by some Moslem women and was compulsory under Taliban rule in Afghanistan. In the Netherlands a few students wanted to wear it in school, but this has been forbidden because the school educates for professions where non-verbal communication, also through facial expression, is required. See also Life under Taliban rule.
Happy Birthday Rudolph Giuliani 1944
Definitely not a Wednesday May 28 1774 - The First Continental Congress convened in Virginia.
The day after Wednesday 1863 may 28 1863 - The first black regiment left Boston to fight in the U.S. Civil War.
Tuesday May 28 1929 - Warner Brothers debuted "On With The Show" . It was the first all-color-talking picture. Burkas, Wednesdays
Curiouser and curiouser
Monday May 28 1934 - The Dionne quintuplets were born near Callender, Ontario, to Olivia and Elzire Dionne. The babies were the first quintuplets to survive infancy.
Friday May 28 1937 - U.S. President Roosevelt pushed a button in Washington, DC, signaling that vehicular traffic could cross the newly opened Golden Gate Bridge in California.
Tuesday May 28 1996 - U.S. President Clinton's former business partners in the Whitewater land deal were convicted of fraud

A little different this morning...please join me at the Yuma Landing Company, a landmark dining establishment serving some of America's finest - the men and women assigned to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma and the Army's Yuma Proving Grounds.
The inside of the Yuma Landing Company is decorated with the aircraft that have made Yuma their home, starting with Bob Fowler's Cole Flyer.
Why We are Called the Yuma Landing:
On October 25,1911, the first plane ever to land in the state of Arizona did so right here in Yuma. Piloted by Robert G. Fowler, the Wright Model B biplane (also known as a "Cole Flyer") weighed 800 pounds and was capable of reaching a top speed of 45 MPH. The plane housed a 30 HP engine that was rented from the famed Wright Brothers, who had made their historic flight years before.
Bob Fowler, making a little history of his own, began his flight in Santa Monica, California and was headed for the East coast. It was during this flight that he touched down in Yuma near a ball park between 1st and 3rd streets on 4th avenue. About four days later, planning to continue his flight, Mr. Fowler found it necessary to enlist the aid of several local citizens who pushed the plane up the hill on 3rd street in order to give it a "downhill" run. Forty-nine days later the "Cole Flyer" ended its journey by rolling to a halt near the surf of Miami, Florida.
Fifty-two years later Robert Fowler returned to Yuma for the dedication an unveiling of a monument in his honor. Today a historic marker commemorating the "75th Anniversary of Flight in Yuma" stands in front of the Yuma Landing Restaurant-the very sight of the biplane's original touchdown!
