We’re no in March 19th, 2020. Just like yesterday, my calendar is clear (sarcasm). This is what house arrest feels like. There’s a few things that the Commission has deemed celebratory on this day: Certified Nurses Day, Companies That Care Day, International Earth Day, Oranges and Lemons Day, Let’s Laugh Day, The First Day of Spring and National Chocolate Caramel Day. Don’t put McDonald on the Companies That Care list. They’re fighting against paid leave for sick employees. Let’s now stroll down history lane. In 1644, 200 members of Peking imperial family and court commit suicide in loyalty to the Emperor. That foot note is a true WTF? In 1775, 4 people were buried by avalanche in Italy for 37 days, 3 survive. Wow. In 1831 the 1st US bank robbery happened when the City Bank in New York was robbed of $245,000. That is the equivalent of almost $7.3 million in 2020 dollars. This is the birthday (1848) of Wyatt Earp. He only has one quote, “Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.” This is also the date in 2008 that Arthur C. Clarke stopped living. He is an outstanding science fiction author. He said, “New ideas pass through three periods: 1) It can’t be done. 2) It probably can be done, but it’s not worth doing. 3) I knew it was a good idea all along!” He also said, “I don’t believe in God but I’m very interested in her.” Now it’s time for me to start reading the news, I’ve already started my day by writing this. Be safe, the zombies are out there. Abide.
