Today{26th April} is the anniversary of Sybil Ludington's Ride?
In 1777, Sybil Ludington, a 16-year-old woman, rode her horse
from New York to Connecticut to rally her father's militia.
She rode 40 miles, more than twice the distance of Paul
Revere, into the damp hours of darkness. This is especially
remarkable because modern day endurance horse riders using
lightweight saddles can barely ride such distances in daylight
over well-marked courses.

Today's Inspirational Quote:
"Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry
with me, for every man is a mirror. We see only ourselves
reflected in those around us. Their attitudes and actions are
only a reflection of our own. The whole world and its
condition has its counter parts within us all. Turn the gaze
inward. Correct yourself and your world will change."
