    Climate change is having a significant impact already. It's almost May and the temperature over here is barely over 10 degrees. Way too cold for this period.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    I attended a Revolutionary War reenactment this weekend. I got pretty badly sunburned, but the photos I got were pretty great!

    Loved the Hessian soldiers! Is that colonel Tarleton on the last pic? What was your role in the reenactment? There are a few battle reenactments in Greece as well, but the majority of the participants is right-wing nutjobs, so I avoid them unfortunately.

    I think so! I was just there taking pictures. I don't have the money for those uniforms, which costs about $2,000 to assemble. I had a chat with the unit of Hessians and they are a group of local history teachers/former students, with the unit being founded by the original teacher of all those teachers. It was a really interesting story.

    Huh, that function worked much better than anticipated. Great stuff. Need to tweak my intuition to better match mathematical reality, it seems.
