It's Wednesday, Nov. 13, World Kindness Day. Happy birthday to TV talk show host Jimmy Kimmel (1967). Today in 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, designed by artist Maya Lin, with names of 58,220 Americans killed in the conflict, was dedicated in Washington, D.C. Visitors leave thousands of items (dog tags, letters, etc) at the site every year. Wednesday's weather should be mostly sunny, with a northwest breeze and a high in the upper 50s. Here are a few things to do today after you are kind to a stranger:
