1/4/1863: 4-wheeled roller skates were patented by James Plimpton of NY
You can't get to Heaven on roller skates,
You'll roll right by them pearly gates.
"Ain't Gonna Grieve My Lord No More"
[Although we are generally most impressed with Truth in Folksong, we're
not so sure about this one. Your "Happy" Sports Division editor recently

enterprises, utilizing his son-in-law's roller blades.
Heaven seemed very near. Admittedly, other supra-worldly places seemed
just as near.]
