Censuses from the Middle Ages show that the population of China plummeted by tens of millions during [Genghis] Khan’s lifetime, and scholars estimate that he may have killed a full three-fourths of modern-day Iran’s population during his war with the Khwarezmid Empire.

Wife and I are off to Stowe to walk the dog, buy seafood, sherry (Newburg sauce!), get a takeout sandwich, this is what passes for a Big Day for us, seriously, not that I'm complaining...we're lucky thus far.
Faintest dusting of snow this morning. Jedediah’s walk to the outhouse was cold this morning I’m sure.
It's the next town over from us, and we enjoy going there, though we haven't gotten to eat in any of the restaurants we love since the pandemic began.
So we settled on a four mile walk on the bike path with the canine, takeout sandwiches (Reubens!), and the purchase of 12 lbs of fresh seafood and several nice bottles of wine. Our biggest day out (literally) in months.

Vermont's the warmest place in the contiguous states, eat your hearts out! Or it was, anyway...

When in Rome, eat as the Romans eat. No, thank you.
