It’s the catch-up episode!!!
Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to days 200-203. This time we examine the days December 21, 1988 as Pan Am Flight 103 Explodes over Scotland, December 28, 2014 as the MS Norman Atlantic catches fire, January 1, 1903 as Topsy the Elephant is electrocuted, and January 11, 1787 as William Herschel discovers Uranus’ moons Oberon and Titania.
