Reading a little about Columbus and his voyages this morning.

Seemed like quite a mess. I didn't know/remember that they lost one of those 3 ships on the first trip and he nearly lost track of a second one. Christopher was quite upset and may have had reason to believe that the ship's captain was insubordinate.

They left 39 members of the expedition behind in the Caribbean and, returning a year later found that they had been lost to a native attack. This was 120 years before the British misfortunes in Virginia and the Roanoke settlement.

Anyway, Columbus and crew were there right at this time of the year. Luckily, they weren't faced with a Hurricane Melissa smashing its way through the islands.

Coffee is ready. I got to go get feed this morning, a super bag of 1,000 pounds. Then home to scoop it into 5 gallon buckets, then pour into metal trash cans. Doctor appointment Thursday and PT Friday for SIL.

Gearing up on hump day for the final days of the week, month and DST!

I'll be fine ... not sure about the neighbors.
