Back in 1972, an airplane crashes in suburban Albany, off Holmesdale Ave in Albany (near Colvin Avenue and Washington Ave). Regional Carrier, Mohawk Airlines Flight 405 crashes as a result of a control malfunction and insufficient training in emergency procedures. ✈🏡Also today in 1873, U.S. Congress enacts the Comstock Law, making it illegal to send any “obscene, lewd, or lascivious” books through the mail.📚 And in 1991, an amateur video captures the beating of Rodney King by Los Angeles police officers.🚔

Kind of a cloudy day with the snow melting away to mud. Going to dig out my truck later and then head out to the grocery store🚗, probably after dark in case I don’t get all of the snow brushed off. ❄

I am glad that I finally figured out how to reliably write a variety of data structures to the 24LC256 chip, 💻 and import data to the chip using the command line including full text files. Still need to implement page write for faster writing but I think now I’ve gotten over the hurtle. Plus I figured a lot about using pointers and type conversations along with the use of structures. Still need to refresh my memory on how to build character arrays that scale up properly.

Tomorrow still looks good for skiing, 🏂assuming I can get my truck dug out. But that will happen. Hoping the snow won’t last as especially once April comes around I want to get truck cap camping. Daylight savings time starts next Sunday.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Saint Patricks Day ☘️ when the sun will be setting at 7:04 pm with dusk at 7:32 pm (Daylight Savings Time). On that day in 2017, we had sunny skies and temperatures between 40 and 16 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 45 degrees. We hit a record high of 75 back in 1990.
