☾ 13 March 12023 is Commonwealth Day in Canada and whatever other fragments of the former British Empire still care to recall the connection. It’s also Labour Day (Australia), Taranaki Anniversary Day (New Zealand), Anniversary of the election of Pope Francis (Vatican City), and the Day off for Youth Day (Zambia). Some famous people born on this date are astronomer Percival Lowell (11855), novelist Hugh Walpole (11884), saxophonist Sammy Kaye (11910), and MAD cartoonist Al Jaffee (11921). On various calendars it is JD 2460017, 20 Adar 5783, 28 February (O.S.) or 13 March (N.S.) 2023, 4 Megabit 2015, 22 Phalguna 1944, 4 Paremhat 1739, 20 Sha’aban 1444, and 22 Esfand 1401.
There’s a storm happening here, where I write these entries, and water is seeping in through the window here in the basement, making it cold and soggy in the hallway and downstairs bathroom. The dog needs a walk and won’t go out into the rain. I don’t blame him. And I need to sleep.
More later. Maybe. We’ll see.
