On this day in history:

In 1643, Queen Anne, the widow of Louis XIII, was granted sole and absolute power as regent by the Paris parliament, overriding the late king's will.

In 1896, the U.S. Supreme court upheld the "separate but equal" policy in the Plessy vs. Ferguson decision. The ruling was overturned 58 years later with Brown vs. Board of Education.

In 1980, at 8:30am, Mt. Saint Helens erupted in Washington state. 57 people were killed and 3 billion dollars in damage was done.


Quote for today:

My buddy and I drove up to Packwood, WA in my Fiat, to feel the effects of St. Helens. We were stopped there, and not allowed further.

I was in Iceland in February of 2000. Mt. Hekla erupted, and despite warnings to stay away, several of my colleagues decided to go "check it out". They didn't get too far before they were turned around by Icelandic Police.
