St. Patrick's Day
Today is every Irishman's national holiday. I warned this was coming by posting an "Ireland for ever" greeting on March 15, see below. The celebrations locally are low-key. Street parties in the saloon section in downtown Charleston are banned for the second year. Several saloon keepers were turned down when they made requests last year and didn't bother to apply in 2002. Savannah allows such parties; apparently without offending anyone. Sometimes public officials can be so damn officious. We have so many government people looking out for our welfare it becomes tiring to put up with it all.

Erin go bragh!
