Joe Doakes emailed me yesterday:

I make a point each morning of reading the Wikipedia page for the day, to see what happened in history.

Today, November 26, is the birthday of Willis Carrier. Born in 1876, died in 1950, he has been one of my greatest heroes every Minnesota summer and I never knew his name until today.

In 1906, Willis Carrier invented . . . air conditioning.
