Day 4 of our escape to the sun and I'm cracking the spine on book 3. I'm a fan of biographies and I've wanted to read this one for some time. It was lounging in the pile beside my bed and a chance watch of DN's interview with Parkinson reminded me of the book's existence and into the case it went.

Karen Silkwood was a nuclear fuel technician and union activist killed in a car crash on November 13, 1974, in Oklahoma while carrying evidence of safety violations at the Kerr-McGee plant.
The first I ever heard of this was the film with Meryl Streep and Cher. Great film and RIP Karen.

Cnut also known as Canute and with the epithet the Great, was King of England from 1016, King of Denmark from 1018, and King of Norway from 1028 until his death on this day in 1035. The three kingdoms united under Cnut's rule are referred to together as the North Sea Empire by historians.
![Canute set his throne by the sea shore and commanded the incoming tide to halt and not to wet his feet and robes. Yet "continuing to rise as usual [the tide] dashed over his feet and legs without respect to his royal person. Then the king leapt backwards, saying: 'Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws.'" He then hung his gold crown on a crucifix, and never wore it again "to the honour of God the almighty King"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zafddu7hlte5wpjsszydrsmk/bafkreicaqmbucqcrtityrukzwhhhhlrh7yjvprmnwmu5injyhvy736s7ee@jpeg)

Today in 1859, Jules Léotard made his first public appearance as the world's first flying trapeze artist, debuting his act at the Cirque Napoléon in Paris. His performance made him a celebrity and the costume he wore, which allowed for freedom of movement, eventually became known as the leotard.

Great Scott! On the evening of this day November 11th, 1955, the Hill Valley Courthouse was struck by lightning, stopping the ornamental clock. This was also the day that Hill Valley High School held an eventful "Enchantment Under The Sea" dance, a frequent destination for Marty McFly.
