My Paintings
My acrylic painting of Claude Monet’s “Water Lily Pond, Harmony in Green,” with a red rose from our 25th Renewal of Marriage Vows on the left, and the bow John made from a pine tree in our back yard in our old forest 25 years ago.
When we retired here, I decided that I would try my hand at painting. The last time I painted was in Mrs. Weed’s Junior High School Art Class. I remember painting Van…

What mysteries lie at the captivating Badbury Rings hill fort nestled in the heart of Dorset's picturesque countryside? From its Celtic origins to its Roman connections, this historic site transports us to another era. Owned by the influential Bankes noble family for generations, it wasn't until Sir Henry John Ralph Bankes' passing in 1982 and the subsequent transfer of the estate to the National Trust that opportunities arose for the long-awaited exploration of the site.
Excavations uncovered numerous artifacts, including pottery from the mid to late Iron Age, silver and bronze coins from the Durotriges tribe, as well as Roman coins, glass beads, and bronze jewelry. However, these findings suggest that the hill fort had a relatively short period of habitation. The emergence of the nearby Romano-British settlement, Vindocladia, led to the gradual abandonment of Badbury Rings, allowing it to succumb to the passage of time.
The allure of Badbury Rings still persists, where history whispers through the windswept fields of Shapwick, revealing the resilience of ancient Britain against the tides of time.

Members of the Fort Hill Faggots for Freedom, featured in the pages of Boston’s Gay Community News in 1976 | ph: Jane Picard
The Faggots were a militant commune and activist group consisting largely of draft dodgers, closely associated with the adjacent anarchist collective and zine publishers FagRag, who lived communally not only for economic purposes but also to “overcome [their] heterosexual conditioning as men” through domestic work. They are known for a number of actions, including picketing a local gay bar that refused service to drag queens and dykes who attempted to enter.
In one flyer passed around during Pride month, they wrote under the masthead REMEMBER STONEWALL calling for a return to radical solidarity. “…Even the most conservative demands of civil rights have not been met, let alone the more radical demands of gay liberationists. We cannot accept non-commitment. To the straight community we, the Fort Hill Faggots for Freedom are presenting a posture of militant solidarity. To the gay community, we are making a show of support and reacting to differences in a spirit of loving confrontation.”

Last November an officer in my city named Mark Guzman shot and killed a black woman named DaChe'na Warren-Hill while she was attempting to flee domestic violence. The Fort Wayne Police Department claimed she tried to run an officer over with her car and that's why Guzman killed her, but witnesses say she did no such thing.
Her family has now set up a website where they're raising funds for a legal case against the FWPD. They're accepting donations and selling $5 wristbands as well.

Caledonian Canal in Fort Augustus by Francesco Dazzi
Via Flickr:
FRANCESCO DAZZI PHOTOGRAPHY The Caledonian Canal connects the Scottish east coast at Inverness with the west coast at Corpach near Fort William in Scotland. The canal was constructed in the early nineteenth century by Scottish engineer Thomas Telford, and is a sister canal of the Göta Canal in Sweden, also constructed by Telford. The Caledonian Canal passes through Fort Augustus in a dramatic series of locks stepping down to Loch Ness. From Wikipedia
