11 January 12020 is the
first of two days called Carmentalia
by the Romans—the other being the 15th. (Why they had two identically-named
festivals so close to one another in January appears to be a mystery—and as far
as I could learn was to the ancients too.) It’s also Learn Your Name in Morse Code Day and the Birthday of Eugenio María de Hostos (this last observed in Puerto
Rico).
As far as I can tell there is no actual news today—just pointless
politicking and chaos. I imagine that stuff is going on as usual behind the
smoke and mirrors, but I don’t have access to it. The American presidential election
seems to have swamped everything else. Well, that and the Iranian war that
Trump seems to be promoting—which, as far as I can tell, is just another
election ploy.
