and now, 1866

 



And now, 1866

MDCCCLXVI



     I was 100 years away


no full moon in February


     promises made, promises broken


Civil Rights Act passed and vetoed 


     Covid numbers rise: a dark world 


total lunar eclipse 


     Fitz and Boo oblivious 


ASPCA founded, NYC


     Christmas shopping mostly done 


Nickel replaces the half-dime


     one count rises, another falls


Metric Act standardizes measurement


     even Christmas spirit wears a mask


dynamite invented in Germany
