On this day in 1869, a golden spike was driven at Promontory Point, Utah, to mark the joining of the tracks from the west and east for the first transcontinental railroad.  

- The caboose was named “Kim Kardashian” because you could see it from coast to coast.  

Also on this day in 1933, Nazi Germany staged massive public book burnings.  

- Unfortunately the only book they didn’t burn was “Mein Kamph”.

 

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Wednesday!

-Dick
