Must be that hell-fire sermon the Pentecostals preached yesterday--I can feel the flames licking at my feet. The temperature for tomorrow is expected to hit 100ยบ F! Hope the air conditioning and Ontario Hydro can keep up with it.
More comments on The Iliad. Even accounting for artistic licence, the descriptions of the noble soldier's battle armour sounds more like something we'd today expect to see displayed in an art gallery than on a field of battle. Shields, breast-plates, and greaves encrusted with precious stones, gold, and silver! No wonder attacking warriors stripped their opponents on the field of battle. Makes me wonder, wouldn't soft metals such as gold and silver weaken body armour?

Born on a mixed subsistence farm in rural Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Canada. Moved to Ontario in 1967 to attend University at what was then Waterloo Lutheran University and moved to Oakville, Ontario in 1971. Without intending to live up to the name became a letter carrier the following January and have worked for Canada Post ever since. I retired in August of 2008.
