Apparently in 1692 the Salem Witch Trials had officially come to an end.
What an odd thing to think actually ever happened.
To celebrate that opportunity to have free thought, in 2002 a festival started in Sacremento called "Freethought Day".
A bunch of freethinkers are those Acadians who settled in the southern part of the United States, also known as Cajuns, who have a delicious recipe for Gumbo.
Celebrate with them the National Gumbo Day today.
Another free thinker comes from John Denver. For me it recalls my youth when my father would play his records and just that feeling of wide open country... "rocky mountain high", "take me home, country roads", etc...
Unfortunately his list of songs came to a definitive end on this day in 1997 in a plane crash.
