Americans are famous for their ingenuity, self-reliance and determination. Today, May 13th, stands as a reminder of the achievements, great and small, for which Americans are famous. Let us take a moment to think about Carl C. Magee, an American to be proud of, an American who we all should remember, an American who has touched the lives of every one of us. Carl Magee invented something that we all are familiar with, and on this day, he filed a patent for an improved version. Next time you are driving through your city, or any city for that matter, and you go to park, make sure you take a moment to be thankful for the hard work and brilliance of Carl Magee, the man who invented the parking meter. When you drop your coins in the slot, remember Carl and his contribution to America.
This day is also the birthday of notable Americans, including Dennis Rodman, Stevie Wonder, Beatrice Arthur, and one not so notable, the infamous Jim Jones.
God Bless America
