What is going on today, in years past, and will continue in years to come
Merriam Webster - Word of the day: Tranche refers to a division or portion of a whole.
World Contact Day is commemorated every year on March 15. It is a unique observance held globally to focus on communicating with extraterrestrial life and exploring the possibility that intelligent beings may exist beyond Earth.
World Contact Day inspires people to invoke their curiosity and spend time thinking about the universe and the mysteries surrounding it.
What is the “Ides of March”? According to the Roman calendar, the Ides are a monthly occurrence. In March and other months with 31 days, the Ides always falls on the 15th; it falls on the 13th in months with 30 days. The Ides traditionally marked the arrival of the new Moon and was cause for celebration. The word “Ides” is derived from Latin, meaning “to divide.”
Mothering Sunday in 2026 falls on Sunday, March 15. Mothering Sunday, celebrated in the United Kingdom and Ireland, occurs on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is exactly three weeks before Easter. Unlike the fixed-date Mother's Day in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, Mothering Sunday’s date changes each year according to the Christian liturgical calendar.
On March 15, 2026, several notable observances and events are celebrated:
Dumbstruck Day: A day to express frustration.
Everything You Think is Wrong Day: A day to challenge and celebrate wrong beliefs.
International Day Against Police Brutality: A day to raise awareness and advocate against police violence.
My look at today, March 15, 2026 below:
It isn't pie day, however, half of the pie is a tranche
or half of the whole. Is there life beyond planet Earth, a ranch
perhaps? People living on a ranch on another planet - I'm sold.
World Contact Day is when we take a look at this, I'm told.
Julius Caesar, assassinated in 44 BCE, on the Ides of March.
Caesar was warned to be aware of the Ides of March.
It turned out to be a good warning, or so the story goes, ayye.
Mothering Sunday is different from Mother's Day in the USA, in May.
Today is Mothering Sunday for the UK and Ireland, on the 4th Sunday
in Lent. Dumbstruck Day is a good day to express frustration.
We were ready to ride our motorcycles this week, but had aggravation
instead. There is snow. There is Everything You Think Is Wrong Day
and snow tops our list. Then there is ICE and War, and BWCA, and hey
International Day Against Police Brutality - enough for today.
