Fascinated by the early modern period: I'm here if we you want to talk about John Milton, the 17th Century, Baroque Music and Art. The Reformation to The Enlightenment is my JAM.

Michelada went extra tonight.
Cervesa Victoria, El Vicio Michelada mix, juice of one lime. Rimmed with sea salt and chili powder. The jalapenos are from the garden, salt cured, lacto-fermented. Still working on the aesthetics, but my stars, it's delicious

30 January 1649
Charles Stuart, King of England, will walk through the Banqueting House. A cold day, he has put on two shirts, so he won’t shiver.
At 2pm, for high treason, he will be “putt to death by the severinge of his head from his body.”
“I go from a corruptible to an incorruptible Crown.”

Charles II executed on 30 January 1649. A brief independence (although technically not for the UK, which didn't exist as such, and not if you were Irish who were about to experience all sorts of horrors). That said... all right, I give up. I'll have a cup of tea and a lie down like most days.

"They're Human."
Yes they are.
And have an extremely high bar for ethical behavior.
Which they clearly cannot reach.
There is a tradeoff, a cost to authority: you don't get to make mistakes. You don't get to rest.
You give that up when you have the power, and directive, to take lives.

If you can, listen to this album via FLAC.

Audio settings are there for any Linux nerd who runs into gain trouble.

I will be 59 in November, having lived as long as Cromwell, and 10 years longer than Charles I.
Odd milestones, I suppose.
