ON THIS DAY: In 45 BC in his last victory, Julius Caesar defeated the Pompeian forces of Titus Labienus and Pompey the Younger in the Battle of Munda. In 1950 researchers at the University of California, Berkeley announced the creation of element 98, which they name "californium". In 1938 Rudolf Nureyev, Russian-French dancer and choreographer, was born In 1958 the United States launched the Vanguard 1 satellite. In 1973 the Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph Burst of Joy was taken, depicting a former prisoner of war being reunited with his family, which came to symbolize the end of United States involvement in the Vietnam War.
Did you wear green today? Are you going to have bangers and mash, or corned beef and cabbage? I was meandering around online to see just how many Irish live in places other than Ireland – more people have immigrated from the Emerald Island than ever lived there at one time according to Wikipedia. The US and Australia seem to have the largest populations of Irish today, but a good number can be found sprinkled in the UK and across Europe, in India, in Canada, Chili, Argentina, Uruguay, South Africa and New Zealand so that is a lot of green beer and shamrocks spread about, neh?
May the road rise to meet you,
may the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
