During this week in 1971, Apollo 14 became the third successful lunar landing mission.

Today is World Down Syndrome day, by virtue of it being 3/21 or 21/3 (referring to 3 copies of the 21st chromosome). 
Today is very near and dear to my heart since my older brother has Down Syndrome and he has brought so much joy to our lives.

May 17 (Syttende Mai) is Norway's national day, commemorating the signing of its constitution back in 1814. There is enough of a Norwegian population in Minnesota that (at least when I was growing up decades ago) there were some parades and celebrations in some of the small towns nearby.

On July 1st, 1863, the tide of the Civil War was turned when Confederate forces were halted in their final invasion of the north at the decisive battle of Gettysburg.

13 years ago today (August 1, 2007), the Interstate 35W bridge near downtown Minneapolis collapsed into the Mississippi River during rush hour. Due to road construction some lanes were closed, reducing the number of cars on the bridge. 13 people died and over 100 others were seriously injured. Replacing it was a priority since it's the busiest bridge in the state.
I was in line with friends at a fast-food restaurant when we heard the news. I'd driven over that bridge dozens of times in the past without giving it a second thought.

Three years ago today, on August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse crossed the US from west to east, allowing millions to see one of nature's rarest and most spectacular sights. I enjoyed watching it from central Missouri with NarniaWebbers.
On this date in 1883, a tornado (estimated to be an F5) destroyed much of Rochester, Minnesota. The Mayo brothers and the Sisters of Saint Francis partnered to administer aid, eventually leading to the world-renowned Mayo Clinic and hospitals there.
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
Tomorrow be International Talk Like a Pirate Day me hearties! (Ahoy, yo ho, avast, shiver me timbers, etc.)

Today is International Coffee Day! 
I think I should go drink more coffee to celebrate.

Oh dear, and here I am drinking tea... blasphemy, obviously. 
(I just don't like the taste of coffee.)

@courtenay, that leaves more coffee for those of us who enjoy it and enjoy it we did.

Fair enough. Is there an International Ice Cream Day as well?? I'm just eating some right now...

Sorry, I don't drink coffee either. I'm with Courtenay - bring on the ice cream! I can't speak for UK or Australia, but the US apparently has National Ice Cream Day the third Sunday in July (in the midst of summer heat here).

I am not a coffee drinker ('though I thoroughly enjoy the scent of a brewing pot) nor am I a huge ice cream fan. For me, bring on the chocolate! 
(Is there a Chocolate Day? 
)
Enjoy that coffee, SnowAngel, and others!
