1955 - Carl Perkins records "Blue Suede Shoes" two days after writing the song.
1997 - Titanic opens in theaters. It becomes the top-grossing movie of all time, with a soundtrack that sells about 15 million copies, thanks mostly to the Celine Dion hit, "My Heart Will Go On."

ERIC CLAPTON PLAYED THE GUITAR SOLO ON “WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS.” George Harrison felt like his bandmates weren’t giving his song “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” the attention it deserved. On the way to the studio one day, Harrison asked his pal Eric Clapton to come along and play on the track. Clapton hesitated, but Harrison convinced him, and the strategy worked perfectly. “I said, ‘Eric’s going to play on this one,’ and it was good because that then made everyone act better,” Harrison said. “Paul got on the piano and played a nice intro and they all took it more seriously.”

In 1986 President Ronald Reagan proclaiming November 23–30, 1986, as "American Indian Week".

If your water pipes are made of Pex, CPVC or PVC - they are NOT made to withstand the temperature of hot, boiling water.
If your water pipes are made out of Iron, Copper or Galvanized Steel - you certainly can run very hot water through them but if there are any rubber or plastic joints - those can get damaged over time as they are not made to withstand such high temperatures.
If your sink is porcelain - Boiling/Hot water can cause minor cracks in anything made out of some form of china (sinks, toilets, tubs, etc.).

We as a nation have learned some tough lessons in the last few years about relying too heavily on companies in other parts of the world for groceries, toilet paper, baby formula, ordering online, food delivery, curbside pickup and personal transportation.
