Good morning.
A chance of flurries but a high of thirty-eight: early spring in Whitewater. Today, we’ll have 12h 26m of sunlight, 13h 23m of daylight, and a full moon.
Whitewater’s Urban Forestry Commission meets today at 4:30 PM.
On this day in 1979, a peace that now seems faded and tenuous by contrast with more hopeful times:
In a ceremony at the White House, Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin sign a historic peace agreement, ending three decades of hostilities between Egypt and Israel and establishing diplomatic and commercial ties….
For their achievement, Sadat and Begin were jointly awarded the 1978 Nobel Prize for Peace. Sadat’s peace efforts were not so highly acclaimed in the Arab world–Egypt was suspended from the Arab League, and on October 6, 1981, Muslim extremists assassinated Sadat in Cairo. Nevertheless, the peace process continued without Sadat, and in 1982 Egypt formally established diplomatic relations with Israel.
Sometimes someone just wants to play:
Google-a-Day asks about South Africa: “What structure on the South African coast has a range of 63km and releases flashes every thirty seconds?”
