Historical Thursday - Rinn DĂșin

According to Atlas Obscura, "On a sleepy, off-the-beaten-track peninsula jutting into Ireland’s River Shannon, you can wander through Rindoon, one of Ireland’s most enigmatic deserted medieval towns. Though it was once one of the area’s most important towns, it has slept undisturbed for centuries."

With a head about half the total length of a modern wolf, this severed head find of a Pleistocene wolf is incredible!  Read more in an article on SiberianTimes.com titled, "Still snarling after 40,000 years, a giant Pleistocene wolf discovered in Yakutia."  Enjoy!

Setting & Society Sunday - Valley of the Mills

The "Photos of the Week" over on The Atlantic included an excellent view of "The Vallone dei Mulini, or Valley of the Mills, photographed in Sorrento, Italy, on June 5, 2019. Pictured here are the ruins of an ancient flour mill, sawmill, and public washhouse" by Ivan Romano through Getty.  Enjoy them all here!

Saturday in Space - Jupiter in June

So, apparently, "Jupiter will soon be so close to Earth you’ll be able to see its moons without a telescope."  I'll have to make sure I get a good look at this view when I can.
