The month of June is Pride month. We wish to recognize some of the people who have been influential in the pride movement.

This Day in History: On this day in 1752, Benjamin Franklin flew a kite for the first time to demonstrate that lightning was a form of electricity.

Today’s Daily Quote: “For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.”

Corny Joke of the Day: 37 consonants, 25 vowels, a question mark, and a comma went to court. They will be sentenced next Friday.
