Well if you're in the middle of Texas this summer and haven't made a trip out to the coast yet, you may be feeling a little landlocked...like this lighthouse of Cape Hatteras, NC. As the ocean encroached on its foundation, the historical lighthouse was moved inland where it rests today. To read more about it, check out this link on Wikipedia.

The Secret to Her Success

Fun Facts of History:

B.C. 100, "Roman artist Iaia of Cyzicus paints and engraves ivory, becoming the foremost painter and sculptor of her day. A lifelong virgin, she worked faster and commanded higher fees than either of the top two male painters of the time."
- Chronology of Women's History by Kirstin Olsen

Iaia, also known as Marcia, is not only more productive, but also earns more than the famous male artists of her time.

Hmm...is it too late to become a lifelong virgin?
