The fellow at the YMCA saw a need to remind me that today is Robert E. Lee's birthday. (Not clear why; he's from Iowa.) This after the local TV morning show ran down a list of events planned to celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. I noted for wont of a pithier reply, that it's neither of their birthdays. But we don't honor the Francophile.
The newspaper's business and technology section informs of a $30 million robotic spy plane capable of scanning a country the size of Afghanistan in a single pass. Here's hoping what's described as the Pentagon's "unblinking eye" can catch sight of the bearded one.
