RE: Extra Credit Questions
sorry, Roger It was wild ... and wrong. But good idea thinking outside the oblong/square (not a clue).

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Does the logo on the hat have anything to do with the answer?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Does it have anything to do with Austin Golloher and Lincoln climbing a tree?

No, Gene ... the logo is irrelevant. And nothing to do with Austin Golloher ( a name which I once thought of in a trivial quiz ... and was wrong too)
Hint : Lincoln was the only President to have done this. The images relate to someone else that was the first to do the same thing. There's a connection with Today. I'm in Australia. “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Superb ... and you must have done it without googling. Yes , a patent. The first woman.
Its International Women's Day (8th March here). https://www.invent.org/inductees/mary-di...nnecticut. Mary Kies "Her patent, issued May 5, 1809, was for a process for weaving straw with silk that was adopted by the New England hat-making industry" ( I see it says "silk" but the issue of "straw hat" seems most relevant) 1809 ... Lincoln's BirthDate. And of course he is the only President to have a patent. “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |

I think I could have dragged that one out a bit longer .... any way, before Gene gets in, reminds me of a song
