St.Patrick’s Day is on March 17th, except when it falls within he Holy Week of the Resurrection. The Youtube author got it wrong.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is the third Monday of January, which was on 17 January 1994.

We were within about thirty miles of the Northridge Earthquake, and it shook us awake. The electrical power lines and the transformers on the poles outside the house were arcing and showering sparks during the earthquake.

When sitting in traffic jams on the freeways, I refused to stop while under an overpass. I always made the effort to stop in front of the overpass and leave a gap in the traffic jam underneath it. The traffic behind typically went crazy with their efforts to tailgate, honk, pass around, flip the bird, and so forth for the privilege of risking being crushed into a paste during an earthquake.

I used to live in southern California and I always hated being stuck in traffic under an overpass.

I live in Maine now, and I still hate it when that happens.
