Apparently, March 4 (3/4) is Waltz Day, for a reason that will be apparent to people who understand musical time signatures. In celebration, here's video of me waltzing with one of my favorite young adults, after her very first group lesson in the waltz last March.

Early voting does not necessarily mean shorter lines, as this 1 p.m. line at my nearest site indicated today. I bailed and will return another time. #earlyvoting #vote #election2024

US National Weather Service Northern Indiana issued rare red flag warning for fire hazard. Over the past 9 years, it has issued the warning five times, an average of fewer than 1/year. Most before today was April 2023. #redflag #redflagwarning #wildlife #fireweather #burnban #firehazard

A #tornado destroyed a Taco Bell in Winchester, IN in March 2024. NWS chose EF-4 rating because walls were anchored only with nails. #cisws24

The April 3, 1974, tornado super outbreak debunked several #tornado myths. For example, opening a window before a tornado isn't helpful. #cisws24
