From Wikipedia, significant aniversaries:
August 10: Independence Day in Ecuador, International Biodiesel Day
* 1792 - French Revolution: Insurrectionists stormed the Tuileries Palace, effectively ending the French monarchy until it was restored in 1814.
* 1809 - History of Ecuador: After nearly three centuries of Spanish rule, the first cry for independence was heard in Quito.
* 1846 - Smithsonian Institution was chartered by the Congress of the United States.
* 1920 - Representatives of Sultan Mehmed VI signed the Treaty of Sèvres, recognizing the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of World War I.

And it's my birthday too! Thanks for all the well-wishes. I've had a good day and that's about all I want when I'm my age.
