Hello humans…. (puts on plate carrier) Happy Ducking 4th of July!
Be sure to keep your hands and feet attached while playing with small explosives.
There are mostly space notes today, they stuck out enough as a pattern for a quick & simple history segment, yet notable things to ponder. That, and I’m already celebrating. Cheers & pass the rum.

Happy Birthdays

- 1790 – George Everest, Welsh geographer and surveyor (d. 1866)
In 1865, the Royal Geographical Society renamed Peak XV – at the time only recently identified as the world’s highest peak – to Mount Everest in his honour.
Andrew Scott Waugh, his protégé and successor as surveyor general, had been responsible for putting his name forward in 1856.
Everest’s name was used as a compromise due to the difficulty of choosing between multiple local names for the mountain.
He initially objected to the honour, as he had had nothing to do with its discovery and believed his name was not easily written or pronounced in Hindi.

- 1816 – Hiram Walker, American businessman, founded Canadian Club whisky (d. 1899)
an American entrepreneur and founder of the Hiram Walker and Sons Ltd. distillery in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Walker was born in East Douglas, Massachusetts, and moved to Detroit in 1838.
He purchased land across the Detroit River, just east of what is Windsor, Ontario, and established a distillery in 1858 in what would become Walkerville, Ontario.
Walker began selling his whisky as Hiram Walker’s Club Whisky, in containers that were “clearly marked” and he used a process to make his whisky that was vastly different from all other distillers.
It became very popular, angering American distillers, who forced the US government to pass a law requiring that all foreign whiskeys state their country of origin on the label.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiram_Walker
- 1881 – Ulysses S. Grant III, American general (d. 1968)
Grant also served on the California Debris Commission. On August 28, 1923, Grant made his first visit to the Sierra Nevada.
The superintendent of General Grant National Park (now Kings Canyon National Park) invited Grant to see the park named after Grant’s grandfather.
Grant visited the General Grant Grove and the General Grant tree, a Giant Sequoia.
