Strike!

Today is No Interruptions Day as well as Tick Tock Day so you have your choice of important celebrations.

In 1852 Emma Snodgrass is arrested in Boston on this day for wearing pants. On this date in 1862 the bowling ball is invented and in 1864 the Fire Department celebrates its first annual Ball. Today in 1965 United Artists releases the James Bond film Thunderball. Speaking of gravity and flames on this day in 1940 the German Luftwaffe begins dropping incendiary bombs on London. And in death of a different kind today in 1972 LIFE Magazine ceases publication.

This practical and attractive Bowl For Health tote bag sports an evocative vintage 1930s line drawing and can be found in the CafePress.com Bowl for Health emporium.
