Today is June 16th a most significant day. Significant that is in Ireland for June 16th 1904 is celebrated year after year because that's the day writer James Joyce chose to have Leopold Bloom spend one extraordinary long day on June 16th 1904; now known as Bloomsday in Dublin Ireland.

You remember the book " Ulysses"; no American has ever finished the novel. Still even here it is acknowledged  as a masterpiece.

June 16th 2020 is a drag here in America.  Covid 19 disrupting the economy, rioting and protests,
and opinion polls today showing only 14% of Americans are extraordinarily happy this June 16th 2020.

Lets go back to 1904.
