If you said, "From the Shakespeare play Julius Caesar," you get 25 bonus points. If you said, "The Ides of March were a horn band whose biggest hit was Vehicle in 1970," you get 100 bonus points. If you said, "What are the ides of March?" you don't get any bonus points, but 'ides' is Latin for: dividing. March 15 was the middle of March. Julius Caesar was warned by a soothsayer in 44 BC, but he didn't heed the warning. It became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history.
It also marks the busiest week of spring break in south Texas.

A foggy start to the day today: 68º, 99% humidity. A bit drippy out as I prepped for my bike ride...
Not a lot of people out, except for the dog walkers - they are out regardless of the weather. At the west end of the resort, I couldn't see the turning basin. Later, riding on one of the streets closest to the Intracoastal Waterway, you could barely make out anything on the other side...
The railings in the image above look out of focus, but that's what about 40' in the fog looks like. I got in a good ride, but felt like I needed to clean off my eyeballs. ;-)
