Friday Varia and Quick Hits

Apparently, we’re going to enjoy a few days of “fall” in North Dakotaland this weekend. It’ll give our community a chance to clean up branches broken from the heavy snow last weekend and try to get their gardens into shape for their long winter nap. Hopefully the nice weather will give us a chance to take leisurely strolls along the banks of Lake Agassiz and to enjoy the foliage. If the weather isn’t as autumnal where you are, I hope that the weekend brings calmer weather. 

Whatever your situation, enjoy some quick hits and varia:

• This entire situation is insane.

• Weird statement, but good sentiment from the AJP.

• Earliest occupation of the Central Aegean (Naxos), Greece.

• The Last Monk of Strofades.

• Big ship through the Corinth Canal.
