November 17

17 November. Today is, at least in my part of the world, Thursday, 17 November. Is it different where you are? For that matter, where are you?

On this day:
1869: The Suez Canal was opened ceremoniously.
1913: Louise became the first vessel to use the Panama Canal.
1603: Sir Walter Raleigh goes on trial for treason.
1800: The Unites States Congress has its first session at Washington DC.

Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. ~ Christopher Paolini
