Non-musical history for today: 2018 – A false emergency alert warning of an impending missile strike in Hawaii caused widespread panic in the state. Not only there but here, too. Culpability for the false alert was attributed to an employee at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, who officials said was a 10-year agency veteran who had previously exhibited behavior that had troubled coworkers. Having problems in that line of work needs more scrutiny, I’d think. Music history, album

Non-musical history for today: 45 BC – The Julian calendar took effect as the civil calendar of the Roman Republic, establishing January 1 as the new date of the new year. But because it made the equinoxes fluid, instead of being on the 21st of March and September, they were coming earlier and earlier… and also, leap years were happening erratically.
