Update about blogCa

View from my tiny balcony, April 11, 2026. The steep slope my apartment building sits on reminds me that this is an ancient river valley, and perhaps where I sit once was the bank of a bigger Swannanoa River than the one of today.

My ancestor and an early world map

Open Culture this week offers a good article about an early world map, commissioned by King Roger II of Sicily, who is supposedly an ancestor of mine.
 Look at the article if you're interested, but beware, the map is oriented with south at the top of it...for a reason.
