At 11:30 a.m. Feb. 24, 1989 fictional FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) drove into the town of Twin Peaks.
Cooper was called in to assist local police, who were trying to determine who killed homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee).

Today is Presidents Day. I noted in checking through my past posts that my assigned date last year fell also on Presidents Day. In 2020, I wrote about presidential trivia. So rather than repeat, I’ll mention it briefly and move on. The federal holiday began as a commemoration of George Washington’s birthday, February 22, but now we celebrate on the third Monday in the month. The holiday takes place during the birth month of the country’s two most prominent presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and honors both, as well as other presidents. The holiday now never lands on a single president’s birthday.
