March is here, roaring in like a lion, and only time will tell if it will go out like a lamb. You’ve certainly noticed that the days are getting longer and soon, the Winter weather will make way for warmer temperatures as Spring approaches. This month, we’ll explore the planets, the crater Cassini on the Moon, a spectacular Lunar Eclipse that will be visible this month, then we’ll explore some of the galaxies that Leo has for us to enjoy and there’s a fun challenge there as well. So sit back and enjoy, it’s going to be a LOT of fun!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
