Great Moments In History - 10 March 2021 - Plague Journal Day 363

Micah 6:8
Isaiah 66:4
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
 
Today is Landline Telephone Day.
Why? Because on this date, 10 March, in 1876, the first telephone call is made:
Alexander Graham Bell spoke the famous words “Mr. Watson, come here - I want to see you” to his assistant, Thomas A. Watson, who was in the next-door room. Poor Watson apparently had a Crick in his neck from waiting for the call to come in while sitting uncomfortably twisted around in order to watch both the doorway and the phone. He later recounted that he didn't want Bell to be able to say that he had called, but discovered Watson Did Not Answer.

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
The mental health issues related to our lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, has a 24 hour helpline: 800-950-6264.
