The Viking fire festival in Shetland looks to have been a
success this year. But look at this
version in Ramsden, West Yorkshire! Apparently a community of Shetlanders there does it up right.
UPDATE: Or maybe it was just an AI picture. Too bad; we could all use a Viking fire fest around February.

Nah, bro.
It's in the 40's here. Hot!
Two books I heard referenced but haven't mentioned to you, I don't think. A Council of Wolves, an Anglo-Saxon mystery by Elizabeth Springer, apparently an actual A-S scholar. I read a third of it, my wife read all of it and liked it, we gave it to my second son for Christmas. Achilles in Vietnam by Jonathan Shay. I know nothing about it except that a Homeric scholar on The Great Books podcast thought it was flawed but valuable about how the two sides of war affects individuals in all ages.
Thank you, AVI. I will look into those.
Alas, we are under a burn ban here and would have to make do with, um, we'd probably come up with something.
