Saturday, November 1, 2008.

It is November! Only two months left in this year; time goes by so quickly these days. My favorite part of this month's beginning is the changing seasons. It's absolutely gorgeous outside, and the leaves actually look like those in the picture! Besides beautiful scenery, some great things have happened on November 1:

996 First use of the name "Austria"
1765 Stamp Act goes into effect in British Colonies
1800 First President live in White House (John Adams)
1866 First Civil Rights Bill passes
1917 First U.S. soldiers killed in WW1 (not happy but historical)
1924 First U.S. NHL franchise-Boston Bruins
1946 New York Knicks win their first game agains Toronto
1969 Beatles' "Abbey Road" becomes #1 and stays so for 11 weeks
