National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day'.
[The Hankster says] Raisinets by any other name would taste as good.
Two awareness days tomorrow.
- 'American Diabetes Association Alert Day'. Fourth Tuesday of March. Awareness of Type 2 Diabetes Risk and.
- 'World TB Day'. 2015 Tuberculosis awareness. Theme: 'Reach the 3 Million: Reach, Treat, Cure Everyone'
Anton Chekhov once wrote 'Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.'
[The Hankster says] Those bare days should not be a problem if we have understood the cause and effect of things over time. A look back into history, I bet, can give us some insight into which things have become forever barren and which are only waiting for their time, and perhaps a little help from us. The people and events of March 24 in the past may have been the basis of a bountiful today.

March origin (from Wikipedia):
'The name of March comes from Latin Martius, the first month of the earliest
Roman calendar. It was named for Mars, the Roman god of war who was also
regarded as a guardian of agriculture and an ancestor of the Roman people
through his sons Romulus and Remus.
'
March
'is the third month of the year in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
It is one of seven months that are 31 days long. In the Northern Hemisphere,
the meteorological beginning of spring occurs on the first day of March.
The March equinox on the 20th or 21st marks the astronomical beginning of
spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn in the
Southern Hemisphere, where September is the seasonal equivalent of the
Northern Hemisphere's March.
