March 1st ...
Well, it's in like a lamb (here in Chicago anyway) ... temps are expected to hit 50 today and 53 tomorrow ...
And then, of course, right back down to a high of 32 on Thursday (with a possibility of snow, no less! ... the last of which currently on the ground should have all melted by then!)
But then the weather roller coaster ride continues with highs expected of 60 for the weekend. (I guess the old adage still holds true ... if you don't like the weather in Chicago, just wait a minute!)
March 1st ...
Roger Daltrey of The Who was born on this date in 1944 ...
And Harry Belafonte also celebrated March 1st as his birthday ... he was born in 1927 ...
As was my Dad, who would have turned 95 today, had he still been with us. Sadly, he passed away 45 years ago at the relatively young age of 50 ... now gone nearly as long as he was ever here.
Jim Morrison was arrested for indecent exposure in Miami on March 1st, 1969 ... and the year before that, Johnny Cash married June Carter on March 1st, 1968.
