In actuality, snow chains are nice, but I’ve still scene people go all over the road with them on. Invented by a northern New Yorker, of course, by the name of Harry Weed, he received his patent, numbered 768, 495, on this date.

It was just 209 years ago today, August 19, 1812, when the U.S.S. Constitution earned her nickname “Old Ironsides” after whooping up on the British frigate Guerriere off the coast of Canada. Taking the war to the British, under the leadership of Captain Isaac Hull, the Constitution wreaked havoc on British shipping. Prior to the battle, she had just sunk three British merchantmen near the St. Lawrence River. Made from solid oak, “Old Ironsides” did quick work on her British counterpart, easily disabling the mizenmast (rear mast) of the British ship, and with the Constitution having 56 guns to the...

It was just 204 years ago today, August 18, 1817, that rumors and sightings of giant sea serpents lead to a government investigation into the accounts from eye witnesses.
