At #ColumbiaUniversity protesters have reportedly occupied historic Hamilton Hall. It has a link to Washington DC. Its famed beaux-arts architects, McKim, Mead and White are also credited with design of Memorial Bridge across the Potomac River & the Natl.War College at Ft.McNair

In the #NFLDraft the Washington Commanders have Second Pick. What does this mean? It means they get to choose someone right AFTER the team with the first pick. In addition it often means they didn't do too well last season. So in a way it's good news and bad news.

On #NFLDraft didn't we abolish the draft about 50 years ago? They say this is different but isn't that what they always say? Wasn't the NFL the ones fighting us? That was the NLF? Same three letters isn't it? This is the COLLEGE draft? Students were drafted then, weren't they?

Do medical schools suspend class today so students can listen to #SCOTUS discussion of the vital topic of #Immunity ? However Supreme Court hasn't yet gone into masking or vaccines or Covid. Or infection.Really into immunity though.

Literary links to #LADvsWSH; Dodgers moved to LA from Brooklyn, where team offices had been on Montague street, which has the name of one of the two feuding families in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The other was the Capulets. Where are they today? Do Nationalsneed em to pitch?

Here's a link to our story of Sunday and I'm told it may be accessed FREE (AND Not just because it's Earth Day) And the 'mercury' we refer to is from chemistry and thermometers not astrology, so no retrograde entailed. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…

wapo.st/3xLV8bs. THIS is the link to our story on Saturday, which while we were watching at least, seemed a pretty fine day. Even worthy of the headline on the story.

The clouds are back. But with the utmost circumspection of which we are capable and with lots of circumlocution let's day Saturday seemed nice.

wapo.st/3JwDWJm This may be the link to our story about Friday. But today may be almost as warm and sunny as yesterday was cool and gray. And the grass is green at Audi field where Washington is winning an NWSL game. Over a team from NY & New Jersey.

For #thursdayvibes we note that it's still jury selection at the big trial in NY. I don't remember much of that from tv courtroom shows. Could be dramatic or interesting though. "Can you be FAIR?" "Well don't recall ever trying that. But hey if that's what you want, why not?"

On #thursdaymorning we confide that we are working on a musical version of that big trial. In the first act, after each juror pledges fairness the courtroom stands and belts out "New York, New York, it's a Wonderful Town" and before intermission segue into "east side, west side"

The passing of #OJSimpson reminded us of how much nationwide interest there was in his trial. Here is our story from 1995 about the anticipation just in Washington D.C. of the verdict. There was a lot of interest. It was a major event.

does #EclipseSolar2024 show how fame is fleeting? on Monday, it was all where's the moon, there's the moon, and the moon this and the moon that. But today, just one day later, you don't hear a peep about the moon. Not a word!(except for theological, liturgical reasons of course)

A day after #Eclipse2020 we cite Walt Whitman poem that starts "When I Heard the Learned astronomer/ when the columns, the figures, were ranged before me/ when I was shown the charts, the diagrams..". You won't be surprised that he said in effect: Enough! let's see the eclipse!

On #Eclipse2024 or #EclipseSolar2024, we wonder. The total eclipse seen yesterday was a marvel because of how the moon seemed to fit so perfectly over the sun. But if the moon were bigger or the sun smaller we'd still have eclipses, right? More of 'em, too! But not so perfect.

After a hard night Katharine Hepburn has just stepped out into the bright sunshine of the next day ( in the Philadelphia Story on tv) Overcome, she throws up a hand to shield her eyes from the glare. Obviously she forgot her #eclipse glasses. #eclipse2024.

You know who may deserve credit for #Eclipse2024? Whoever predicted weeks and months and years ago that it would happen today. Can anyone name any of those people? Is there an eclipse prediction machine, with people checking the readout occasionally?

A lot of what we hear about #Eclipse2024 may not be true! Readers of Shakespeare for example claim it doesn't end until someone quotes "Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon..."

If out of #PathOfTotality for #Eclipse2024 AND YOU HAVEN'T filed your taxes or scored eclipse glasses how can you assuage disappointment and surmount malaise? Perhaps if not on strict training for #Olympics you could follow protocol and buy a pizza. In the shape of the #moon.

Fine points of watching #EclipseSolar2024. You are in a group looking at the eclipse. Some people are without the protective glasses. Of course, you let them look through yours. But do you want them back? If so, do you put them on again? Do you wash your hands? What do docs say?
