Very nice.  Quick stop in Baltimore to see the daughter and her partner, then up to Mass. to son #1 and the 3 grands with daughter joining us for the weekend.  Julia and I took a quick trip up to Portsmouth, Kennebunkport  and Portland where we stayed the night.  Hit Gloucester on the way back.  Had a couple of inches of snow when we crossed into Maine.  Great food the whole trip!  Stopped for a couple of days at my friend John's in NJ to break up the drive back.

Today is Sunday, March 30, the 89th day of 2025
with 276 to follow.

The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mars and Venus. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mars and Uranus.


On this date in history:

In 1842, Dr. Crawford Long became the first physician to use anesthetic (ether) in surgery.

In 1858, a U.S. patent was granted to Hymen Lipman for a pencil with an attached eraser.

In 1867, U.S. Secretary of State William Seward reached an agreement with Russia for the purchase of Alaska for $7.2 million in gold.

In 1870, the 15th Amendment, granting African-American men the right to vote, was adopted into the U.S. Constitution.

In 1923, the Cunard liner Laconia arrived in New York City, the first passenger ship to circumnavigate the world. The cruise lasted 130 days.

In 1975, the South Vietnamese city of Da Nang fell to North Vietnamese forces. UPI correspondent Paul Vogle described "the flight out of hell" as refugees attempted to flee the city.

In 1981, On March 30, 1981, John Hinckley Jr. shot and injured U.S. President Ronald Reagan outside a Washington hotel. White House press secretary James Brady, a Secret Service agent and a Washington police officer also sustained injuries. Hinckley was released from a psychiatric hospital in September 2016.

In 1999, a jury in Oregon awarded $81 million in damages to the family of a smoker who died from lung cancer. A state judge reduced the punitive portion to $32 million.

In 2006, Jill Carroll, a freelance reporter for The Christian Science Monitor, was freed in Baghdad after being held for 82 days by kidnappers.

In 2018, at least a dozen Palestinians died in the first week of the so-called Great March of Return protests in Gaza.

In 2023, a Manhattan grand jury took the unprecedented step of voting to indict a former president, formally charging Donald Trump in an investigation into hush-money payments made to adult film actor Stephanie Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels.

I wouldn't disagree with that.
I mean, the man had at least five phases to his career:  The Slowhand era with the Yardbirds, the Bluesbreaker era, the Cream era, the Dominoes/Tulsa era, and his solo career.  In each of those he is a different player.  He is the only outsider to put a guitar solo on a Beatles record.  He was Van Halen's primary influence.  Nobody has done more to keep the Blues in the cultural spotlight.  He was the guy that popularized the now-classic sound of a Gibson Les Paul plugged into a Marshall amp. 

Hendrix, Beck, and Van Halen were flashier. They were more innovative.  Jimmy Page was heavier.   But all of them built on formulas he created.
