DYK and TIQ

Did you know…

… that today is Japanese Women Voters Day? Japanese women voted for the first time in 1946. Of the roughly twenty million women qualified to vote, 67% cast their ballots on Election Day, and of the 79 women candidates running for seats, 39 were elected. A great success!

Today’s Inspirational Quote:

“Life is truly a ride. We’re all strapped in, and no one can stop it. As you make your way from youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes you put your arms up and scream; sometimes you just hang onto the bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end of life is that your hair is messed up, you’re out of breath, and you didn’t throw up.”

— Jerry Seinfeld
