5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting to the Casual Reader, Mandatory to the Writer, October 20, 2005

By	John Matlock "Gunny" (Winnemucca, NV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm writing this on October 20. Not a particularly famous day. What can I say about October 20, presuming that I needed to say something. Well, I could say:

Apple Butter Stirrin Day in Coshocton, OH
Fall Festival of Leaves in Bainbridge, OH
Guatemala Revolution Day
Kenyatta Day in Kenya
MacArthur Returned to the Phillipines
Mickey Mantle's Birth Day
National Mammography Day (free or discounted mammograms - see www.nbcam.org)
6 Million Dollar Man Premiered.

And there's a bunch more things you might quote if it fit your needs.

That's the essence of this book. Not just October 20th of course, but any of the 365 days in 2006. Not once did I find a date that said, 'Nothing happened this day.'

And I couldn't help but find out that on my birthday, 'Banned Books Week' begins. On my brothers birthday Greenwich Mean Time began - in 1676.

There are also other sections of the book, just in case you want to write about what happened 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, or 200 years ago this year. Twenty years ago - January 28, 1986, Space Shuttle 'Challenger' Exploded -- yes, it's been that long.
