Let's start with a little history, shall we? On this day in 1580, English seaman Francis Drake returns to Plymouth, England, in the Golden Hind, becoming the first British navigator to sail the earth. In 1581, Queen Elizabeth I knighted Drake during a visit to his ship. The most renowned of the Elizabethan seamen, he later played a crucial role in the defeat of the Spanish Armada. The explorer died 1596 at the age of 56.Also-On this day in 1928, work begins at Chicago’s new Galvin Manufacturing Corporation. (The company had officially incorporated the day before.) In 1930, Galvin would introduce the Motorola radio, the first mass-produced commercial car radio. (The name had two parts: “motor” evoked cars and motion, while “ola” derived from “Victrola” and was supposed to make people think of music.)And-On this day in 1820 the great pioneering frontiersman Daniel Boone dies quietly in his sleep at his son’s home near present-day Defiance, Missouri. The indefatigable voyager was 86. Made a legend in his own time by John Filson’s “Boone Autobiography” and Lord Byron’s depiction of him as the quintessential frontiersman in the book Don Juan, Boone became a symbol of the western pioneering spirit for many Americans. Ironically, though, Boone’s fame and his success in opening the Trans-Appalachian West to large-scale settlement later came to haunt him. Having lost his Kentucky land holdings by failing to properly register them, Boone moved even further west in 1799, trying to escape the civilized regions he had been so instrumental in creating. Finally settling in Missouri–though he never stopped dreaming of continuing westward–he lived out the rest of his life doing what he loved best: hunting and trapping in a fertile wild land still largely untouched by the Anglo pioneers who had followed the path he blazed to the West. Interested to learn more about what happened at Delta Air Lines last night. Marissa Mayer may be called as a consultant. $DAL, Delta Air Lines, Inc. / H1 Nike down slightly this morning in pre-market activity. Figured that the new "Just Do It" campaign would have been blamed. Give it time. $NKE, Nike, Inc. / H1 This is the day The Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. While I am interested in Canadian cannabis, I am not sure all eyes are on what takes place in Ontario. Long $CRON. I thought that $GE might get a mention. Plenty of comments following yesterday's Trending News bit. $GE, General Electric Company / H1 Nothing on Telsa this morning? Building their own car carriers seems to have been enough news for a day or two. Where is Jon Corzine and what are his thoughts on the NFL's QB sack/roughing penalties? Where is Marissa Mayer and how was she able to hid the hack of Yahoo Mail for over two years? Have a great day everyone. Stay safe, sage, and sane out there. Excelsior! Make your day a great one! God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference.via @deercreekvols
