Factoids about Today, presented by Cool Media. Today's November the thirtieth.
3
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:35.200
It's National Personal Space Day. This actually began before the
4
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.840
COVID pandemic. Today is to remind us that personal boundaries
5
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.560
are good and must be maintained in a civil society.
6
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.799
Today it's for those people who don't like to be touched. Remember,
7
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.880
just because they don't want to shake your hand or
8
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.320
give you a hugger cause that doesn't mean they're rude
9
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.880
or impolite. It just means that they have boundaries they
10
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.399
should be respected. Yeah, I agree with that. Personal boundaries.
11
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.799
They can reduce the spread of germs, so that's always good.
12
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.119
So today, be shy. If someone is talking too close
13
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.400

her landlord. They were fighting over who actually owned that
64
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.199
piece that hit her. When they finally decided that Hodges
65
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.639
could sell it, well everything had died down. Everybody had
66
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.280

67
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.319

know that one of my favorites is writer Mark Twain.
79
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.720
He was born Samuel Clements in Florida, Missouri. In eighteen
80
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.600
thirty five, took the name Mark Twain because it was
81
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.319
a steamboat pilot's term, so he had the steamboat crew
82
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.480
yelled Mark Twain. It meant that the river was at
83
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.480
least twelve feet deep and save for the boat to
84
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.319
go through. Twain. He started out as a steamboat pilot
85
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.959
on the Mississippi River. He wanted to ride, so he
86
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.519
started off as a journalist. He wrote some really funny columns.
87
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.600
He did some some actual newspaper reporting, but he's most
88
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.879
famous for his short stories and his books. He wrote

His wife died in nineteen oh four. Now, when Twain
92
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.439
was bored back in eighteen thirty five Hayley's comment it
93
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.160

94
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.040
much his whole life, that he would die when Haley's
95
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.040

96
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.560
