TODAY IS THE 172nd ANNIVERSARY OF THOMAS EDISON’S BIRTH: President Reagan issued a proclamation in 1983 making Edison’s birthday Inventors’ Day and urging that it be celebrated with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
I would celebrate by thinking happy thoughts about Edison while purchasing light bulbs on Amazon. But, alas, here in California, buying light bulbs over the internet is a very unpleasant chore. When I try to check out I find the light bulbs I chose are forbidden to residents of the Golden State.
