Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not—September 22, 2015 Trust your Taco
Tuesday is off to a great start whether it is celebrated by a bargain taco or
better yet a Popeyes leg and thigh special for a real bargain of $1.49 and as
always I hope you enjoy Tuesday’s holidays and observances, factoids of
interest, a music video by Whitney Houston, a relevant quote by Gail Blanke, looking
forward to enjoying an ice cream cone,
blessed with a positive attitude and secure in the
knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable event like
birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries, you know that the Alaskanpoet can

1. American Business Women’s Day —promoting the contributions of women who have founded and run businesses in this country; just another reason why this country which has all its citizens in the game as opposed to the jihadists who exclude half the population will prevail.

On
this day
in:
a. 1888 the first issue of the National Geographic Magazine was
published.
b.
1896 Queen Victoria passed her grandfather King George III as the longest
serving British monarch; her record was just surpassed by Queen Elizabeth II
who is still serving today to the dismay of her son who may never become king.
c.
1957 the tyrant “Papa Doc” Duvalier was elected president of Haiti to the
ultimate dismay of some 30,000 Haitians murdered on his orders.
d. 1993 a barge
struck a railroad bridge in Mississippi leading to a derailment of the Sunset
Limited and the death of 47 passengers and sadly for trainophiles the
termination of service from New Orleans to Orlando, Florida.
e. 2013 in yet
another display of barbarism by radical Islamists, a suicide bomber killed at
least worshippers at a church at Peshawar, Pakistan.
Reflections on women in
business from a female CEO:”Walt
Disney told his crew to ‘build the castle first’ when constructing Disney
World, knowing that vision would continue to serve as motivation throughout the
project. Oftentimes when people fail to achieve what they want in life, it’s
because their vision isn’t strong enough.” – Gail Blanke, President and CEO,
