Happy birthday, Erwin and Lonny and Donna and George

August 12 is the birthday of famous physicist Erwin Schrodinger, who devised the cat dilemma to explain quantum uncertainty.  And also the birthday of Lonny Chin - you'll  have to look up why she's famous. Ditto for Donna Michelle.

And George Soros, rich guy with a heart for Democrats.

Also a good day for ace guitarists -- Mark Knopfler and Pat Metheny and Buck Owens.

And lovers of women -- specifically John Derek.

And a few others, like Pete Sampras.
