Historical events: Carmen Fasanella registered as a taxicab owner and driver in Princeton, New Jersey. Fasanella retired November 2, 1989 after 68 years and 243 days of service (1921), The City's Development Corporation rejects Luton Town's proposed move to Milton Keynes (1985).
Saint of the day: Saint Brigid's mother gave birth on her way from the dairy and throughout her life she was able to magically multiply dairy products. Her bath water also transformed into beer for thirsty clerics, which may have been why the drunken St Mel consecrated Brigid as bishop despite being female.
