Trivia Advent Calendar

Congratulations, Gene! I would never have guessed that in a million years - and thanks for the Biblical lessons, Eva. If you google Old Naval Observatory, one of the sites has a photo of the dome of that building in 1866. I have been to that building and knew that Lincoln had visited it several times. That's what made me immediately think of it when seeing the photo. Needless to say, the government could not afford a golden dome, however.

P.S. Edwin Booth was born as Halley's Comet streaked through the sky.
