Mostly just school and work going on here until then, so it helps to give me something to look forward to. No trips, no school activities, nothing. This is a real black hole time of year.

Today is Thursday, March 1, the 60th day of 2018. There are 305 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On March 1, 1790, President George Washington signed a measure authorizing the first United States Census. (Census Day was Aug. 2, 1790.)
On this date:
In 1565, the city of Rio de Janeiro was founded by Portuguese knight Estacio de Sa.
In 1781, the Continental Congress declared the Articles of Confederation to be in force, following ratification by Maryland.
In 1867, Nebraska became the 37th state as President Andrew Johnson signed a proclamation.
In 1893, inventor Nikola Tesla first publicly demonstrated radio during a meeting of the National Electric Light Association in St. Louis by transmitting electromagnetic energy without wires.
In 1932, Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., the 20-month-old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, was kidnapped from the family home near Hopewell, New Jersey. (Remains identified as those of the child were found the following May.)
In 1940, "Native Son" by Richard Wright was first published by Harper & Brothers.
In 1954, four Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire from the spectators' gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives, wounding five members of Congress. The United States detonated a dry-fuel hydrogen bomb, codenamed Castle Bravo, at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order establishing the Peace Corps.
In 1968, Johnny Cash married June Carter at the First Methodist Church in Franklin, Kentucky.
In 1971, a bomb went off inside a men's room at the U.S. Capitol; the radical group Weather Underground claimed responsibility for the pre-dawn blast.
In 1981, Irish Republican Army member Bobby Sands began a hunger strike at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland; he died 65 days later.
In 1990, the controversial Seabrook, New Hampshire, nuclear power plant won federal permission to go on line after two decades of protests and legal struggles.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, speaking at his Texas ranch, declined to promise more U.S. troop withdrawals from Iraq before leaving, underscoring the need for a strong military presence during Iraqi provincial elections. The USS New York, an amphibious assault ship built with scrap steel from the ruins of the World Trade Center, was christened at Avondale, Louisiana. New York's famed Plaza Hotel reopened after a three-year, $400 million renovation.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama, still deadlocked with Republican congressional leaders, formally enacted $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts a few hours before the midnight deadline required by law. Actress Bonnie Franklin, who played divorced mom Ann Romano on the long-running sitcom "One Day at a Time," died in Los Angeles at age 69.
One year ago: Former Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke was sworn in as secretary of the Interior Department by Vice President Mike Pence, hours after being confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 68-31. The president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, told The Associated Press that the two accountants responsible for the best-picture flub at the Academy Awards (in which "La La Land" was initially named the winner instead of "Moonlight") would never work the Oscars again. Paula Fox, author of "Poor George" and "Desperate Characters," died in New York at age 93.

It makes sense. Nothing says, "what's with all the kids today who want participation trophies" then a parade to celebrate one of the the lowest rated presidents in history.

I was able to sneak a smoke in before the rains came. Found a Joya de Nicaragua Quatro Cinco in my portable humidor. Nice medium body stick. Very Drew Estate-like. Clouds of smoke, great construction, and great maduro flavors.

I had one of those CYA days. Questioned by an auditor regarding one of my projects and spent the rest of the day justifying the work that had been done. Specifically the money spent. Ooof! Unfortunately, it's not over yet and I'll be spending some of tomorrow doing the same. I really needed that smoke this evening.

Shitty day lull?
