On this day in 1797, André-Jacques Garnerin achieved the first successful parachute descent by jumping from a hot-air balloon over Paris. It’s safe to say 18th century French people were good at building tall structures and jumping from them. So co-opt some of that early French gumption and take a leap of faith and go see live comedy, perhaps while wearing a beret.

The Polling Shed, Potty Mouth, and the Precious Right to Vote by Keith Watts
There was a time in Buffalo, New York, when democracy came with a chimney. No, not like the Sistine Chapel. In the weeks before Election Day, crews hauled little green wooden sheds to street corners across the city. Each was a neighborhood polling place, complete with an American flag, a huge contraption of a machine—with lead seals, multiple levers and curtains—and a cast-iron stove. More than 300 were still in use in the decade of my nativity. These sheds were hardly architectural marvels, but they brought the ballot box to the people rather than making people travel to the box.
