Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

262 years ago, on 15 January 1759, the British Museum opened. While its treasures make is controversial these days, there is no doubt that the Brits, by taking various items of archaeological interest back to Great Britain from their homeland did preserve many discoveries, as well as make famous many places that otherwise might have gone unnoticed until their glories had succumbed to the ravages of time.

A glorious mission, and a wondrous place to visit - I recommend that you stop in for a long time should you ever have the chance. It really is awesome in the truest sense of the word.

Then, 242 years later, on 15 January 2001, Wikipedia went online. While its contents are often the subject of controversy as warring tribes of theorists edit and re-edit article after article. Still, on anything not terribly controversial it's a great place to get a first look at what something or someone is or was or means.

I do recommend it much less highly than the British Museum, but I do use it on occasion.

Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
