A huge hat tip to Bob, Kate, Judith and Wayne who answered the call to take the pulse of the village with photos.
you got the best clean air in the US, you got not much public transportation to speak of, not much collective housing, compared to some, chances are y’all gonna survive just great, and if you don’t have potatoes, ask your neighbor.
In prehistory, and history, March was known/called “the Hungry Month”because the resources of the summer, the reserves for winter, were gone and the resources of spring were not yet happening, and the animals were lean, (as we know, digesting lean meat requires more caloric input than it provides)
welcome to March
it sounds pretty logical excepting the fact that thousands of people from everywhere in the world rub shoulders. but safer than nyc or tehran. point taken.
ps: hunger is a powerful motivator, ask LouisXVI (Roman numerals for 16), the king the French beheaded , mostly because of hunger…but you know he was preceded by many others, even less competent, Louis XIV (ten plus five minus one)
just in case you haven’t been taught; X=10, V=5, I=1, L=50, C=100, M= mille, or Thousand,
the order in which you place them equals additions or subtractions 16 = X(10) + VI=(5+I),
which is why, in French and other latin languages, 100= Cent, (pronounced in French:sahn (Century, Centenial..) which we call cents, 100 cents = a dollar.
I love how the Movies still put their date in Roman numerals: MMXX
Hey Mic, interesting insights. So are you still in France? Let’s catch up one of these days! Take care.
