Al Jarreau, age 76. Will miss that smooth voice.

Happy 208th, Charles Darwin. Back in the good old days when I was going to start going for a graduate degree in The History and Philosophy of Science and Technology at the U 0f M, we used a biography of Darwin by Adrian Desmond and James Moore, simply titled "Darwin." It was quite comprehensive, nice historiography, and also just a very good piece of writing. Now I just noticed this, by the same author tandem, and will have to hunt down a copy. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2009/02/13/ST2009021302658.html DARWIN'S SACRED CAUSE - How a Hatred of Slavery Shaped Darwin's Views on Human Evolution.

This is going to be a tough sell no matter what; that's obvious. Some things, particularly in the biological sciences, run so contrary to what many have been raised on the jump is enormous, maybe too much. I can certainly sympathize to the degree it takes to turn my worldview around and see things their way. Vestigial memories of a (surprisingly progressive) Catholic upbringing at least make it possible. I don't know how we're going to do it, the crossovers with music, architecture, and the other arts may be the best way to give people a sense of the emotional, as well as the intellectual, pleasures of science. That's how the ancients did it, and maybe they were on to something.

I know, but I used to teach ESL, and really should know better.

The skies are overcast, so no viewing from here.

This was designed by one of the participants, and caught my eye.

I guess that's one of the reasons I'm participating. To effect changes in attitudes. I'd encourage others to do the same. Edit effect/affect; some days I really hate English grammar.

As long as it's not Mike Pence, we're good.

He'd best get used to that view.

From my science marching buddies: '147 years ago today, President Grant authorized the creation of the National Weather Service.' I believe much pizza will be consumed after the march.

Norm Cash?

Pizza? Covers of songs? Wait a minute....

Yay, Sessions. The trainwreck continues.

My mistake. Thanks. Hawkeye is still Natty Bumppo.

Uncas. Alan Alda wasn't Hawkeye, either.

Your loss. Ken Watanabe is a damn good actor.

That was Ken Watanabe. Little bit of cinematic history back atcha.

Sorry I even mentioned it, folks. I'll delete the post.
