The Hindenburg catastrophe occurred on 6 May, 1937. The cause of the fire remains unknown, though there are multiple theories. Surprisingly, only 36 people perished in the disaster, one of them a ground crewman. The loss of the Hindenburg caused a decline in public interest in airship travel. What would have happened if the Hindenburg had not been lost? Maybe zeppelins would have remained popular. Also the band Led Zeppelin would have had to come up with a different photo for their debut album's cover. Personally, I'd like to fly on an airship some day. But I'm eccentric like that.

Abnormal Signs - April 1st to 7th

Source: Profilebrand.com

For those of you who know what the post's title means, you came looking for the revival of Abnormal Signs and didn't find it, did you?  Nope, you won't either.  It is April Fools Day and though I usually don't "celebrate" the holiday, I decided to give it a shot today.

As for when Abnormal Signs will return...  I'm looking at late April or the start of May.  When school is out and I have some real free time to work on it to my satisfaction.  So stay tuned.  But for the next few weeks, I'm buried in end-of-the-semester stuff.



The conference at Westminster for Phi Alpha Theta went well.  I was afraid when I arrived that it would be a waster of my time, but it ended up being useful and educational.  If nothing, I learned, or should I say re-learned, that I need more analytical thinking practice and refinement.  I've learned how to study and I've learned how to work hard, but I still haven't quite learned to think well for myself.  I'd say that should be a worthy goal, and I'll endeavor to work at it.

 
April 1.  This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four. - Mark Twain

It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves you have a sense of humor. - Max Eastman

I have great faith in fools - self-confidence, my friends call it. - Edgar Allan Poe

Most folks are about as happy as
they make up their minds to be. - Abraham Lincoln

Both applicable to April Fools Day and a great example of capitalism at work.
