Welcome to Monday, Jan. 18, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Today's birthday: Baseball great Curt Flood (1938-1997), whose legal fight with Major League Baseball eventually led to players' free agency. Today in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson asked Congress for about $2,500 to fund Meriwether Lewis and Williams Clark's Corps of Discovery journey to the Pacific. Funding included $100 in silver coins, about $700 for gifts to native tribes along the route, more than $200 for 'mathematical instruments' and $87 for contingencies. Monday's weather should be foggy in the morning, then partly sunny with a high in the upper 40s.
