Today is February 22nd. It was on this date in 1980 that the immortal “Miracle On Ice” occurred. A scrappy young American team brought down the long-undefeated Soviet team, 4-3, in what is undoubtedly one of the most famous hockey upsets in history. The American team won the gold two days later, taking out Finland 4-2. Also on this date in 1923, the first chinchilla farm in the United States opened, which was arguably less worthy of being dubbed a miracle. Lastly, today is National Margarita Day. Nobody knows who invented the margarita, but one thing is certain, he had a wicked hangover the next day. Consider this an Open Thread.
