Update about blog

The joy of waking to this view each morning is just so wonderful. Even if the camera sees all the distortions from the window screen, I easily ignore them. Many of these green trees stand near or by the Animas River which flows through the town.

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.
