ONE DAY OLDER ON AUGUST 2:
Butch Patrick (71)
Victoria Jackson (65)
Kevin Smith (54)
WHAT HAPPENED TODAY:
1876: Jack McCall shot Wild Bill Hickok in the back as he played poker at a saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory. Hickok held black aces and eights, which became known as the “dead man’s hand.” McCall was hanged.
1934: Adolf Hitler became Führer of Germany.
1990: On orders of President Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi army invaded Kuwait. This led to the 100-hour war against Iraq, Operation Desert Storm.
WORD OF THE DAY: jingoism [ jing-goh-iz-uhm ]
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/jingoism
extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy
The politician's speech was criticized for its jingoism, appealing to national pride at the expense of international cooperation.
DAILY AFFIRMATION: I’ll Surround Myself With Positive People Who Will Help Bring Out The Best In Me.
Boosts Mental Health: Surrounding yourself with positive people can significantly improve your mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. A positive environment encourages a healthier mindset and emotional well-being.

https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-day/national-ice-cream-sandwich-day-august-2
On August 2, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day encourages us to cool off with one of our favorite frozen treats. Whether it's vanilla, strawberry or Neopolitan between two chocolate wafers, the dessert sure will hit the spot on a hot summer day. The original ice cream sandwich sold for a penny in 1900 from a pushcart in the Bowery neighborhood of New York. Newspapers never identified the name of the vendor in articles that appeared across the country. However, the ice cream sandwiched between milk biscuits became a hit.
