Happy Presidents Day!

To those of you who forgot and probably don’t work for the government — The mail is not running today so forget about that netflix you had been waiting for ’til tomorrow!

Believe it or not a few more things happened today throughout history that are pretty interesting…

  • On Feb. 16, 1923, the burial chamber of King Tutankhamen’s recently unearthed tomb was unsealed in Egypt by English archaeologist Howard Carter.
  • In 1968, the nation’s first 911 emergency telephone system was inaugurated, in Haleyville, Ala.
