March 21, 2016 Update
How is your morning going? Mine is okay, I had to run to catch the bus which was running a few minutes early and me a few minutes late. We are now up to 33 degrees and mostly to partly cloudy with increasing blue skies especially to points north and west. It looks like the right lane of Delaware Ave is closed near Delaware Plaza, and while traffic is moving well, you might want to consider alternative routes.
Today, the transit of the sun is at 1:02 pm, which marks the midpoint in the day, and when the sun will be due south. There is six hours and seven minutes until the sun dips under the horizon from them. The mathematically inclined can figure out the length of the day from that. 46 degrees and sunny by mid afternoon.
Happy Birthday to Jonah Goldberg of the National Review fame, the establishment conservative magazine that has a lot of disdain for Donald Trump. While I’m a liberal Democrat, I always enjoy him when he is on Cam Edwards program.
Today in 1965, Dr.Β Martin Luther King, Jr.Β leads 3,200 people on the start of the third civil rights marchΒ from SelmaΒ toΒ Montgomery, Alabama. The protestors this time would be escorted and protected by the National Guard, as called for by President Johnson to avoid the violent clashes of earlier marches. This March would prove to be peaceful, and with the large democratic margins in Congress, they would enact the comprehensive Voting Rights Act of 1965.
