"This Just In..."
The dog days of summer are here. 

And in our continuing effort to illuminate we offer this reason for the name:   The Dog Days refers to the dog star Sirius and its position in the heavens. The Greeks and Romans noticed that Sirius would rise before the sun usually in late July and into August bringing with it heat, fever and catastrophe.)

So are we; back with a bit of this and plenty of that. In fact, we're keeping it simple, because we know you've had it tough recently.

We hope you've social distanced, worn the mask, tip-toed past oncoming walkers and joggers and otherwise led a pristine life - for yet one more month.

As a reward...we have this month's issue of..." This Just In..."

Another Way To Live...     
 
 
 
There are many urban spaces in the world that are so uniquely planned it leaves people speechless. With the help of satellites and aerial photography, we have the ability to see just how carefully buildings are laid out in the areas. 

One of such captivating sights is Brøndby Haveby or Brøndby Garden City. Located just outside Copenhagen, Denmark, this 'garden city' is a place of many community gardens that are known for their unique circular arrangement.


The houses in Brøndby Haveby have large yards that provide a retreat from the noisy and densely populated city. They also provide the opportunity to indulge in the near universal hobby of growing plants and crops. 

The idea behind these circles is simple: to increase social interaction among those who rent the gardens. More here:
 
 
Can You Imagine?

So, the woman I married, aka: "She Who Must Be Obeyed" likes a bit of chocolate now and then.

So, once every few months, for the past few decades, I'll spring for a special bar of chocolate, wrap it up in some pretty paper, put a bow on it and present it to her as though it were a Faberge Egg.

A few nights ago she approached me with more than just a glint in her eye, leaned in and graced me with a dollop and a half of affection. She then turned, smiled and walked away. 

Mystified? I guess! I wracked my so-called brain trying to figure out what I had done so that I could do it again and again until the end of time.

It seems the candy bar wrapper did all the work. On the inside my spouse found the following:

Oh, No - Not Ev'n When First We Loved

If Oh, no - not ev'n when first we loved,
Wert thou as dear as now thou art;
Thy beauty then my senses moved,
But now thy virtues bind my heart.
What was but Passion's sign before,
Has since been turn'd to Reason's vow
And, though I then might love thee more,
Trust me, I love thee better now.

Although my heart in earlier youth
Might kindle with more wild desire,
Believe me, it has gain'd in truth
Much more than it has lost in fire.
The flame now warms my inmost core,
That then but sparkled o'er my brow,
And, though I seem'd to love thee more,
Yet, oh I love thee better now.

-- Thomas Moore

Back When...
   


"The taverns are full of gadabouts making merry this eve. And though I may press my face against the window like an urchin at a confectioner's, I am tempted not by the sweetmeats within. A dram in exchange for the pox is an ill bargain indeed."
