Friday 8th April - Anniversaries of: The day Clint Eastwood became mayor of Carmel; The Clash released their first album; Pablo Picasso died; Kurt Cobain shot himself; Pope John Paul II was buried; And Juan Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain.
 

Just received a book I ordered on eBay. It is a collection of short stories by Rudyard Kipling that was printed while he was still alive (1910). I know the meaning has changed since then, but still a bit of a shock to find that the flyleaf is printed with Kipling's signature and a swastika! And the cover is embossed with a gold leaf picture of an elephant and another swastika.

I know I was a bit surprised the day I learned the swastika was an ancient symbol that generally meant 'lucky' for thousands of years until the stigma changed for the worst in the last century.

Yeah, the Nazis gave it a whole new meaning.

Trying to wake up after a late night.
Doing Foxy's updates and then I got an Air BnB guest coming in this evening.

Here's a goat from last night. :D
