The brawl spilled out into the street, and my ancestor drew a handgun. It seems his foe ran away down the road, and my great uncle (something like that) pursued him. It ended up that my great uncle was at the glass front door of a store, and the other guy was at the glass back door. They could see each other. My ancestor raised his handgun and shot the other guy through the glass doors and the length of the store.
I would certainly like to know more about what precipitated (probably something trivial) and more about my ancestor. Could be interesting or could be completely banal.(less)

History museums are also good to get the brain in that creative vibe. Such visits, for me, work two ways. First, I think "If this artist spent so much time and effort learning their skill and then creating this arresting piece, surely I can finish off that chapter and move on to the next." Second, it takes me out of the quotidian and re-introduces me to an entire different world beyond the things I see around me every day.(less)

Three Things I love About Flanders

The relatively small area of Belgium known as Flanders is absolutely incredible for its output of outstanding visual artists, beer brewers, and the writer Georges Simenon.  And, what's even more incredible, is that these artists and brewers produce(d) works unique to themselves, as Simenon produced not only one style of novel but several seemingly non-derivitave styles.
