Today is the last work day of the month.  Hereabouts all the businesses are supposed to be opening on time for the first time in a week, but the traffic is really light, so I’m betting a lot of folks just gave up.  For one thing, the skies are full of snowflakes again this morning…   Flurries they tell us, no accumulation.  We’ll probably end up with another foot of snow because I actually didn’t wear boots today!  All the area schools are still closed – given how the streets still look, that is not a surprise.  Pedestrians are still walking in the roadway, roads still have lanes obstructed, and the melt froze overnight causing some hazardous icy conditions that we all have to deal with.  Today is also:
  • Curmudgeons Day
  • Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day
  • Freethinkers Day
  • National Carnation Day
  • National Corn Chip Day
  • National Preschool Health and Fitness Day
  • National Puzzle Day
  • Seeing Eye Dog Day
  • Thomas Paine Day
In 661, the Rashidun Caliphateended as the fourth leader Ali ibn Abi Talib was assassinated by a Kharijite
 
 
I was surprised to read that at its height, the Caliphate controlled a vast empire over the largest land area in history, which goes to show just how Euro/western-centric my historical studies were back in the day!  I wonder if they are teaching this stuff in schools today, if they have a more global-centric approach to history?
