The Ides of March, 2010 Reply

I‘m not expecting anything historic, per se.  I’d love to give you new design renderings of Fargo, my quadricycle. But, over that, I have no control. Let’s see what the day shall bring.

Vincenzo Camuccini, "Morte di Cesare", 1798,

History gives us this  [taken from Wikipedia]:

The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martias) is the name of March 15 in the Roman calendar. The term ides was used for the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October.[1] The Ides of March was a festive day dedicated to the god Mars and a military parade was usually held. In modern times, the term Ides of March is best known as the date that Julius Caesar was killed in 709 AUC or 44 B.C.

According to Plutarch, Caesar was warned by a seer to be on his guard against a great peril on the Ides of March. On his way to the Theatre of Pompey (where he would be assassinated) Caesar saw the seer and joked "Well, the Ides of March have come," to which the seer replied "Ay, they have come, but they are not gone."[2] This meeting is famously dramatized in William Shakespeare‘s play Julius Caesar, when Caesar is warned to "beware the Ides of March."[3]

Fargo ~ SMV Emblem Reply

Grote SMV 71152 I’m still waiting—maybe next week (03/15). I placed the order with a local retailer 03/02. This is the final piece to the trailer setup that will allow me to call it finished.

I will attach it to the bracket [NiteRider Light] you see near the bottom of the "solar fender" mount so that I can tilt the SMV Emblem back so that I can rotate the "solar fender" left & right.
