Who cares about living in\u00a0 Province?\u00a0 This guy was the Duke of Bourbon.\u00a0 That\u2019s like being the Earl of Sandwich.\u00a0 Or the King of Beer.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention some other notables.\u00a0 In 1820, someone thought enough to prove that the tomato is\u00a0 non-poisonous.\u00a0 This really is big.\u00a0 Think of the spaghetti, and the pizza we\u2019d be missing for all of these year.<\/p>\n<p>Another great tester\u2026.. let\u2019s shout it out LOUD for Gerrit Moll.\u00a0 Mr. Moll measured noise of guns on this date in 1832.\u00a0 Speak up.\u00a0 He can\u2019t hear you.<\/p>\n<p>On of my favorites of June 28th\u2026. In 1859\u2026. the very first dog show was held.\u00a0 It took place in Newcastle-on-Tyne, England.\u00a0 I am not sure which show it was\u2026 but I am guessing Lassie, or Rin Tin Tin.<\/p>\n<p>And since we are talking about England.\u00a0 In 1967\u2026. that good old Beatle George Harrison was fined \u00a36 for speeding.\u00a0 Lead-footed rocker.<\/p>\n<p>I almost forgot a big one.\u00a0 In 1836\u2026 President James Madison died.\u00a0 He was old.\u00a0 86.\u00a0\u00a0 He left behind his wife Dolley Madison.\u00a0 After his death\u2026 she had more free time.\u00a0 She started baking cupcakes and such\u2026.. which Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the Gang ended up eating all the time.\u00a0 Thank goodness for that.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it.\u00a0 The big day in history.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But really.\u00a0 Aren\u2019t they all?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cWe cannot change our past.
