Numero Dos

There were many things that happened this day in history, these are the five I chose that had some importance to me:
1.) In 1582, many Catholic countries switch to the Gregorian calendar, and skip 10 days.
2.) In 1937, Ernest Hemingway's novel "To Have & Have Not" published.
3.) In 1951, "I Love Lucy" debuts on CBS TV.
4.) In 1953, Toriano "Tito" Jackson, (singer) was born.
5.) In 1954, Hurricane Hazel strikes US & Canada, 348 die.

I chose the above listed events that happened in history today for a specific reason. Firstly, the one about Catholic countries, because I am Catholic so it means something to me. Ernest Hemmingway was a great writer, and I love reading, so that is why I picked that his novel was published today. I chose that "I Love Lucy" debuted today, because I love that show and it is so funny! Tito Jackson was a great singer, and growing up I loved listening to music by the Jackson 5. Also, hurricanes scare me, actually all natural disasters scare me, so that is why I chose about HurricaneHazel.
