A Historical Day

(1336) Petrarch climbs Mont Ventoux on cusp of the Renaissance
1336 An Italian poet and scholar ascends more than 6,000 feet to the summit of France’s Mont Ventoux and experiences an epiphany that inspires him to examine the life of the soul. Petrarch will go on to write works that usher in a more modern age, and be called “the father of humanism.”.
(1937) Nazi Luftwaffe devastates Guernica, Spain
In one of the first air attacks on a civilian populace, the German Air Force bombs the Spanish town of Guernica after the Nazi’s allies, the Spanish Nationalists, requests the strike as part of their Civil War offensive. The results cause shock and horror, famously expressed in Picasso’s celebrated painting. . 1937
(1986) Explosion rocks the Chernobyl nuclear power plant

deviantArt profile for GµårÐïåñ on deviantArt

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
