Today is the 229th anniversary of New England's Dark Day (1780), when (according the Wikipedia entry) "an unusual darkening of the day sky was observed over the New England states and parts of Canada. The primary cause of the event is believed to have been a combination of smoke from forest fires, a thick fog, and cloud cover. The darkness was so complete that candles were required from noon on. It did not disperse until the middle of the next night." My tie is woolen and midnight blue, on a midnight blue shirt.









Yesterday, for no particular reason, I wore my Veggie Tales® tie featuring "Larry's Lagoon." It was fun and definitely more enlightening than today.
