My name is Briggs, I am the creator and voice of another YouTube channel called World According to Briggs and a firm believer in sunscreen. On that channel, we focus on lists about places. For the most part places in the United States

On This Day is a winner...love it, thanks!

[jenniferryersejones]

Happy Birthday, to me! Thanks, Briggs!

The real difference is if it sees you later or after while… Love both of your channels! Our paths may have crossed… Grew up in Huntington Beach, joined the Army in 89, Presidio of Monterey 89-90, Fort Carson 95-2000. I retire in 15 months! Been to a lot of the places you’ve talked about on either channel and usually completely agree! Maybe do a video on best and worst military towns? Cost of living, crime, housing, things to do, history?

On this day in 1977, I graduated from James Madison Senior High. GO WARHAWKS!

Hey Briggs! This is totally off topic. But I have no way to contact you. Today, I found out there’s a town in rural WV ( my state) called Brahmwell. It once housed the most millionaires in the country. 🤩 they were coal barons of course. Anyway, IDK if you can go anywhere with this information. But 17 millionaires in a town that small surly has an intriguing story.

On 17 June 2021. My father died. A year later, on the Nez Perce Indian reservation, we held our memorial for him. He was a brother, father, uncle, grandfather, friend, husband, and veteran. 🪶🦅

I didn't know Sir Francis Drake founded California, I thought he founded Washington State. 👍👍

Every time I hear Smoot-Hawley I think of Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

It must be nice to make up a national holiday like Juneteenth. I think I'll petition the President to make my birthday a national holiday, and call it Oktoberfest.
