Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Pavement Day, marking completion of the first concrete-paved street on this date in 1892 in Bellefontaine, Ohio. So I guess they were the first town to pave paradise :)

Today is also Disney Animation Appreciation Day, a time to remember all your favorite Disney movies, like possibly "The Fox and The Hound," released on this date in 1981. Four years in the making, this Disney production required 360,000 drawings.

On this day in 1991, Millie Bush, America's First Dog, became a millionaire as royalties from her book about a dog's life in the White House reached $1.1-million. Millie gave the money to First Lady Barbara Bush's family literacy foundation. Millie died in May, 1997.

On this day in 2004, in his weekly radio address, President Bush said legalizing gay marriage would redefine the most fundamental institution of civilization, and that a constitutional amendment was needed to protect traditional marriage. I think the most surprising thing for me about this was that W has a weekly radio address!

Here's kind of a random question: what's the oldest river in North America?

Good luck :)

It's the New River in West Virginia! Hm, it must have been named a long time ago :)
