Yes he sure was. Rene Descartes. I liked David Hume and the Empiricists more than the Continental Rationalists but found Immanuel Kant the most reasonable. Kant, Immanuel: Metaphysics | Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Hold your horses! Doris Day was not born until April 3 1922! Doris Day - Wikipedia

At least she never turned into a total wackjob like Debbie Reynolds (and her druggie daughter Carrie Fisher) turned into!

Jan. 27, 1967: 3 Astronauts Die in Launchpad Fire. 1967: Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee are killed on the launch pad when a flash fire engulfs their command module during testing for the first Apollo-Saturn mission. They are the first U.S. astronauts to die in a spacecraft.

The Mercury astronauts were medically screened at Lovelace Clinic adjacent the base. https://spacemedicineassociation.org...%20Classic.pdf

My best friend in grade school's father was one of the doctors doing the screening. Sorry for all the reminiscing but that was an exciting time in my life.

And what a cool birthday. 4-22. Kind of like mine of 2-24 but backwards. He is one of the actors I would like to meet. There were movie trailers at the Red Lion Inn when we lived in Rohnert Park, CA They had some kind of deal with the Red Lion Inn while they were filming movies in Northern CA. I would often walk my square cocker spaniel Amber around these movie trailers but never ran into anyone with a famous name. Did run into people with non famous names. Mostly we talked about how to avoid the duck poop that was all over the golf course between the Red Lion Inn and my backyard. Not so they could come over. Just that is where they would walk as we were about 300 feet from these movie trailers. Parents lived in Rohnert Park, CA from 1986-1996. Lots of movie trailers had been at that hotel during that period. And they gave me ideas as well with their presence. And opportunities.

Never did hear that Jack Nicholson was one of the actors in these trailers. Others. Yes.

You are right. She is still with us. I was having a senior moment and thinking of Debbie Reynolds.
