From the poet #AldaMerlini
Non mettetemi accanto a chi si lamenta senza mai alzare lo sguardo, a chi non sa dire grazie, a chi non sa più accorgersi di un tramonto.
Chiudo gli occhi. Mi scosto di un passo.
Sono altro..sono altrove.
❣️BUON FERRAGOSTO A TUTTI❣️

Weather so bad today that even the final day of the 103rd #HarrisHillSkiJump has been canceled. Attended yesterday to watch the international jumpers. This Slovenian national jumped over 99 meters...and he wasn't even running from Trump. Watch entire event here www.youtube.com/live/FxbDupq...

Indeed, so very cool. I have my father's personal photo album of his time in Kodiak, Alaska, 1943. Many unidentified individuals, but cool pics of native Alaskans and GI's at dances, etc. And maybe the coolest: photo of Bob Hope, Jerry Colonna, and Frances Langford; perhaps their first USO visit

Amazing discovery of the two original pages of #firstedition #Dante #DivineComedy. These "documents related to the so-called "Pax Dantis" were found, a 14th-century agreement that put an end to the conflict between the noble Malaspina family and the Bishops of Luni". Archivio di Stato di La Spezia.
