Pale Blue Dot

Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day, the annual celebration that gives us license to profess our affections. But February 14 is memorable for other reasons, including several that are decidedly lugubrious.  For example, there was the savage execution of St. Valentine himself in 269 AD.  It was also the date on which Captain James Cook was clubbed to death on the beaches of Hawaii in 1779, and when seven of Bugs Moran’s gang members were massacred in a Chicago garage in 1929.
