What happened on Wednesday March 19th?

Today sucks, Wife told me this morning that a friends son was shot and killed last night. This is hard to process, he was 35, I've known him since he was 15. We only see him once a year but we are are very close to his father and step-mother. This type of crap has to end.
I also just found out that Arthur C. Clarke passed away last night. There is to much death right now.
Hopefully with spring better things will begin.
