Your Monday Dose Of Inspiration

Some significant things happened on this day throughout history. Here are a few of the more interesting: In 1801, A 1,235 pound cheese ball was pressed at the farm of Elisha Brown, Jr. The ball of cheese was later loaded on a horse-driven wagon and presented to U.S. President Thomas Jefferson at the White House. In 1985, treasure hunters began raising $400 million in coins and silver from the Spanish galleon “Nuestra Senora de Atocha.” The ship sank in 1622 40 miles of the coast of Key West, FL. And in 2003, in India, elephants used for commercial work began wearing reflectors to avoid being hit by cars during night work.
