Augh. Massive flooding in Angoulême. Those who have been to the festival will recognize the Museum. Overhead shot of the plaza & the building, and groan the ground floor.
Tough year for Angoulême. Held hostage by the vile ex-director, fest canceled, now this.

Here's a bird feeder at Sunderland Point. We saw a weird white bird running off into the bushes here, maybe an albino white pheasant?

This Ancient Egyptian board game is almost 4,000 years old!
Known as ‘Hounds and Jackals’ or ‘Game of 58 holes’, its original name is unknown. It’s suggested it was played in a similar way to ‘Snakes and Ladders’.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
