    1919 was then. 2019 is now. 100 years later and the same fears and human emotions persist


    New years 1919.. 100 years back.. The temperature went down to 25 degrees and remained below 31 all day. 

    Sleet fell sporadically, mixed with rain. A blizzard loomed on the Panhandle and threatened Central Texas..

    Also in the war’s aftermath, labor unions began a series of strikes for higher pay and better benefits. Unions had stalled negotiations because of the war; now times were different, but management refused to bargain. 

    The Santa Fe Railway’s telegraphers went on strike just before New Year’s. Other unions joined in solidarity.

    “The fire department was called out twice Tuesday night (New Year’s Eve) to answer false alarms, presumably turned in by New Year’s celebrants,” the Telegram reported. 

    “The New Year was otherwise ushered in very quietly. At midnight, many guns were fired, but the whistles and bells joined in the noise very weakly.”

    Victories in Europe allowed the United States, once considered a backward uncouth nation, to emerge victorious as a 20th century superpower…

    That was then.

    2019 is now.

    Upcoming fear porn for 2019 being revealed: Eclipses, and blood moons abound

    2019 is featuring five eclipses, a rare planet transit, one of the best meteor showers and a super blood wolf moon..

    The new year will also bring three supermoons, a blue moon, multiple meteor showers, close approach by the moon and Jupiter and several rocket launches..

    MORE..

    For the first time in three years on January 21, the United States will be able to experience a total lunar eclipse. According to NASA, it will be one of the sky’s “most dazzling shows,” as the moon will be at its closest point to Earth, making the moon appear slightly bigger and a lot brighter, an event that is often referred to as a “supermoon.”

    In the late afternoon of July 2, a total solar eclipse will occur over southern parts of Chile and Argentina, and parts of the South Pacific. The entire event will take place from 12:55 to 5:50 p.m. ET, with the maximum eclipse occurring at 3:23 p.m.
    The year will also end with a dark bang:
    December 26: The annular eclipse occurs when the circumference of the sun shines brightly from behind the moon. This year, the eclipse will begin right at dawn and pass over the Arabian Peninsula and arc over areas of South Asia.
    All this, and undoubtedly some more potentially hazardous asteroid fly-bys from rocks we didn’t see yet will create the ambiance necessary for another year of total fear porn. 
    Enjoy the remaining moments of 18 .. as 19 creeps in and we wonder where the past 20 years have gone since the 20th century..
