208/365 - The Ides of March

I'm skipping two days because I haven't gone through my Tuscany pics yet, will have them done in a few days and will upload them to the project once I'm done. On Monday though I flew to Edinburgh on a day trip to meet with a few customers. Got back that night, and it was definitely a long day.

 

Now for a bit of geekiness, for some reason I always remember the Ides of March. I'm a huge fan of history, and this is the day exactly 2054 years ago that Julius Caesar was assassinated in Rome. For some reason I always think about it, because it's something that happened so incredibly long ago but is still a date that stands with a fair degree of historical certainty. If you've not heard of this and you're bored surfing the internet, you can check out what I'm talking about here.
