A little light Latin reading this morning - Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472), De Re Aedificatoria (On the Art of Building) in _The Latin of Science_ . . .
A little light reading in Latin for this morning - Ididore of Seville (Isidorus Hispaliensis), sometime called "the patron saint of the Internet" (not officially, but nominated for that role by Pope John Paul II), on the topic of the liberal arts . . .
A little light Latin reading this morning - Pliny the Elder on the topic of elephants!
Happy Nones of Sextilis (or Augustus, if you prefer) to all who celebrate!
A little light Latin reading on the study of earthquakes from Seneca . . .
Happy birthday to my youngest child, Christopher, who turns 12 today!
We got to Salty Brine just before they closed the parking lot . . . Which was just a few minutes after they opened the parking lot! Beautiful day at the beach today!
Always an auspicious day when a package arrives with the return address "The Fortress of the Chaos Lords" . . . It augurs even better if that arrival is on DCC Day! This isn't even the entire haul! So much awesomeness!!!!!
Well, Game King in Fall River came through with DCC RPG stuff for DCC Day. I bought the DCC Day Adventure, "Pestilence at the Peak of Law," which looks really cool. Also got the DCC Day Adventure Pack, but was sad that it did not contain any DCC - just an MCC game and an XCC game...
Happy Ides of Quintilis (or Iulius, if you prefer) to those who celebrate! Also, it is the Mercatus, time to restock after the Ludi Apollinares!
Happy Nones of Quintilis (or Iulius, if you prefer) to all who celebrate! And happy Ludi Apollinares! (I wonder in the ancient Romans would have liked the World Cup?)
And of course, the flag of the great state of Rhode Island. The first colony to declare independence, and therefore the first state, leading the way in freedom and independence! Long may she wave!
Long may she wave! From the Linear Park between Providence and East Providence
