It's about 100 degrees here in my part of the South. I was surprised when a coworker announced that it was the first day of fall. It certainly didn't feel like it.
I'm currently reading The Age of Arthur: A History of the British Isles from 350 to 650 AD, which is a seminal text on this subject. Morris lays out the evidence for the real Arthur, explaining that he existed and was named Arthur. None of the Round Table business actually happened, of course.
My first job as a teenager was rounding up shopping carts and cleaning toilets at a Walmart. I informally studied the patterns of where people put away shopping carts, which was not always the designated return points. I called these undesignated areas "natural corrals" because formed organically as a multitude of people decided the optimal locations for shopping carts.
Thanks! Probably not. My recent on-campus bookmobile efforts have taught me the importance of being able to get through classroom doors. So now I just haul conventional bookcarts around from classroom to classroom. But you're right that I should revisit the idea and maybe find a vehicular structure more mobile than a bookcart. Congratulations to your daughter on her bookstore. Is it a new or used bookstore?
Before the pandemic, I was kicking around the idea of applying for a grant to create a trike-based bookmobile for on-campus use. It would be a bit more practical than a horse, but only because I have paved pathways everywhere.
When I was interning as a hospital chaplain, I watched a woman die. I found it notable that, unlike in the movies, the heart monitor doesn't flatline. Rather, the heart rate slowly fades away as the electrical impulses in the heart dissipate. Also: the body visibly shrinks and turns grey very quickly.
