1862 - District of Columbia abolishes slavery.
1897 - A.L. Cralle patents the ice cream mold.
1914 - Ernest Just, genetic biologist, wins the Spingarn Medal.
He received this same medal on this day in 1915 for his pioneering in cell division and fertilization.

Phil says there's going to be warm weather coming
in six weeks. BOOOO! I have more energy when it's cold.
There have been snow squalls every day, but nothing
sticks because them temp is not down to 32º.

Resting today except for a 20 minute walk. I was out
for hours on Wednesday and yesterday and m'back's
tired. Reading "Waiting for Snow in Havana."
