The C.A. six tips of the day for July 12
By Bonnie Adams, Government Editor
Region – Today is Thursday, July 12, the 194th day of 2012.
On this day in 1962, a band that would change rock music forever – the Rolling Stones – performed for the very first time.
Before Sarah Palin became a household name, there was another woman who was chosen to be a candidate for Vice President. On this day in 1984, Walter Mondale announced that Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York would join him on the ticket.
It’s been a hot summer so far but not as bad as it was on this day in 1995, when the Midwest was really, really hot. By the time the heat wave broke a week later, 1,000 people had died in Illinois and Wisconsin from heat-related causes.
Today’s birthdays include: actor/comedian Bill Cosby (1937); fitness guru Richard Simmons (1948) and Tom Kenny, the voice of the cartoon character, Sponge Bob (1960).
Here are six tips for the day -
