Today is Saturday, March 3, the 62nd day of 2018. There are 303 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On March 3, 1931, "The Star-Spangled Banner" became the national anthem of the United States as President Herbert Hoover signed a congressional resolution.
On this date:
In 1791, Congress passed a measure taxing distilled spirits; it was the first internal revenue act in U.S. history.
In 1845, Florida became the 27th state.
In 1849, the U.S. Department of the Interior was established.
In 1918, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire and Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which ended Russian participation in World War I. (The treaty was rendered moot by the November 1918 armistice.)
In 1923, Time magazine, founded by Briton Hadden and Henry R. Luce, made its debut.
In 1943, in London's East End, 173 people died in a crush of bodies at the Bethnal Green tube station, which was being used as a wartime air raid shelter.
In 1959, the United States launched the Pioneer 4 spacecraft, which flew by the moon. Comedian Lou Costello died in East Los Angeles three days before his 53rd birthday.
In 1960, Lucille Ball filed for divorce from her husband, Desi Arnaz, a day after they had finished filming the last episode of "The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show" ("Lucy Meets the Mustache") on Arnaz's 43rd birthday.
In 1974, a Turkish Airlines DC-10 crashed shortly after takeoff from Orly Airport in Paris, killing all 346 people on board.
In 1985, coal miners in Britain voted to end a year-long strike that proved to be the longest and most violent walkout in British history.
In 1991, motorist Rodney King was severely beaten by Los Angeles police officers in a scene captured on amateur video. Twenty-five people were killed when a United Airlines Boeing 737-200 crashed while approaching the Colorado Springs airport.
In 2002, voters in Switzerland approved joining the United Nations, abandoning almost 200 years of formal neutrality.

Ten years ago: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said his campaign had never given Canada back-channel assurances that his harsh words about the North American Free Trade Agreement were for political show, despite a Canadian memo indicating otherwise. Four adults and two children were found slain in a Memphis, Tennessee, house; three children survived the rampage. (The brother of one of the victims was convicted of murder and sentenced to death.) A gunman opened fire inside a Wendy's restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida, killing a paramedic who'd gone back to fetch a missing meal toy for his child; the gunman wounded five others before turning the gun on himself. Operatic tenor Giuseppe Di Stefano died in Santa Maria Hoe, Italy, at age 86.
Five years ago: Vice President Joe Biden led civil rights leaders and national political figures in a ceremonial crossing of a Selma, Alabama, bridge where voting rights marchers were beaten by law enforcement officers in 1965. The SpaceX company's Dragon capsule made good on its latest shipment to the International Space Station, overcoming earlier mechanical difficulty to deliver a ton of supplies. Bobby Rogers, a founding member of Motown group The Miracles and a songwriting collaborator with Smokey Robinson, died at his suburban Detroit home; he was 73.
One year ago: President Donald Trump toured St. Andrew Catholic School, a private religious facility in Orlando, Florida, praising it as an ideal institution for "disadvantaged children" while re-emphasizing that his education agenda would focus on school choice. The Nintendo Switch, a hybrid game machine that works as both a console at home and a portable tablet on the go, made its debut.

Good morning, Dave.

Taking it easy on recovery day today Tony?

Quite the wild weather day yesterday. Winds not quite ready to give up today.
Wild indeed. It was raining/snowing sideways the entire day but at least nothing stuck. Difficult to walk around in but it could have been a lot worse. Still a bit windy here. At least I didn't have any downed trees or power outages.

I've got some running around to do today but hope to take it easy.
Speaking of which, gotta get my daughter to lacrosse practice.

Morning Dave and Tony. I'm staying over an extra day in CT, leaving tomorrow morning now. Work related scope creep, but from what I hear the airport was nuts this morning from the carryover from yesterday.

Agreed about airports today. One extra day is better than having to come back to finish. You really need to find an area lounge (unless Burger King has a smoking section).

Good morning, Mark. I think you just like being in New England. You a Pats fan now too?

I'm actually surprised my daughter got out yesterday evening without much trouble. Currently on route between Heathrow and Venice. Will be curious to hear how the flight over was...once you got out of our weather, the had to head into a similar system that went through the UK.

Could just as easliy have the opposite effect. They may take it as someone beyond this door is in desperate need of being saved.

They're still door-to-door in our neighborhood, as well as the storefronts. Of course I am not aware of any clothing optional neighbors, either.

I'm not clothing optional, it's just a sign to keep certain people away, and to see who choses to get naked when they visit.....ladies only of course.

Yea, door to door is a little risky with naked people answering the door.

Clemson dropped a tough one to Syracuse. Still going into the league tournament as a 4 seed, and certain of a spot in the NCAA's.

So they get a double bye and don't play until Thursday. Don't quite know why the tourney is at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn.
