This Day In History

1800 The Library Of Congress established.
1953 Winston Churchill knighted.
2005 Queenie's Daughter acquires a pair of New Balance walking shoes

The first time QD purchased a walking shoe, she told the clerk that her shoe was defective because the rubber did not extend to the tip of the toe. QD was very impressed when the young man informed her that the design was intentional and that it added springiness to the step. QD wore her new athletic shoes out of the store and sprung herself all the way home to the Sky Palace
in Washington DC. QD's recent purchase, while less dramatic, is equally thrilling.
