Had a lovely time this past Saturday at the annual Strut in East Atlanta Village with my newspaper crew. We raised almost $500 in sales of raffle tickets, T-shirt, and even the odd direct donation. Festival season in Atlanta is long and glorious! We’ll be back at Ormewood Park Makers Fest on 10/18.

I’ve been flying the Cabo Verdean flag for the last several weeks.
Tomorrow, July 5th, the tiny island republic (where I served in the Peace Corps) will celebrate 50 years of independence from Portugal (or rather, the former Portuguese empire).
Felicidades, #CaboVerde! 🇨🇻

Here’s some photos of a first-edition (1543) Copernicus I took during that time — this is the book that solidified heliocentrism. They brought it over to me and let me handle it for hours (no gloves!).
