Historical events: Laika, the first dog to go into space, is launched on Sputnik II (1957); During a concert in London, Elton John announced that he was retiring from live performances. He resumed touring on February 3, 1979 in Sweden (1977); Minnesota elected Jesse "The Body" Ventura, a former pro wrestler, as its governor (1998)
Saint of the day: St Hubert was a shallow and affable hanger-on at the court of King Pepin. After passing up on mass to go on a hunting trip, he was shown the path to goodness by a stag in the forest. The stag had a tiny crucifix between his antlers and the figure on the cross told Hubert to, "Turn to the Lord, or thou wilt fall into the abyss of Hell!". Subtle, yet effective. Hubert is depicted in art with a stag. Not a moose.
