Today in Labor History April 14, 1935: The Black Sunday dust storm swept across the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles. This was one of the worst storms of the Dust Bowl. 4 years later, on this same date, John Steinbeck published his classic working-class novel, The Grapes of Wrath, about Dust Bowl refugees in California.

IPv6 rant, or why I even need it
I’ve got two new /48 IPv6 prefixes just for under $50 for life compound into single /47. But to make them actually work, you also have to find a nearest BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP) provider who’s willing to do a free IP transit to you, and that’s not that easy as it was with he.net before.
"Penny Auction" at a farm, with a noose as a warning to bank agents who might attempt to bid, Michigan, USA, Great Depression, 1936
Daddy Was a Number Runner is the first novel by American writer Louise Meriwether. It was published by Prentice Hall, with a foreword by James Baldwin, in 1970, and is now considered a modern classic. It depicts a poor black family in Harlem during the Great Depression in the first half of the 20th century, as seen through the eyes of a 12-year-old African-American girl who has one brother who wants to be a chemist and another who is a gang member. - Wikipedia
I absolutely loved this evidently autobiographical tale of a black teenage girl on the cusp of womanhood in 1930s Harlem. An excellent feature of living in a multicultural country and city is that many such works are available at our libraries, and may it remain so.
