No blue rubies! • "Where": We’re heading to the bottom of the map to visit the world’s southernmost capital, nestled right in the windy "Roaring Forties." • "When": We remember a year of profound loss in the music world and a devastating storm that impacted the U.S. East Coast. • Alphabet Challenge: Today’s letter is E, featuring a noblewoman whose life spanned from the glitter of the French Second Empire all the way into the post-World War I 20th century.
