| The name: An ancient Mesopotamian (Assyrian, if I recall correctly) term for the planet Saturn, said to mean literally "oldest of old sheep." The content: Quite honestly, this remains mostly to be seen. It needs work! "And so it begins"--on St. Patrick's Day, as reckoned in North America, in the year CE 2004. In my family we often call it "St. Myrtle's Day" in honor of my Norwegian-American grandmother, who was born on this date in 1900, making her age easy to figure. Then there's the non-canonical St. Urho's Day, observed by local Finnish-Americans on the 16th. I'm not Finnish except through "hereditary osmosis"--a situation I'm not inclined to explain. My blogs, as you can see, are elsewhere. So what shall I write here? About my email: Broadly slice out the delicious meat to obtain the correct account. Now: It has come to my attention that certain individuals have begun claiming ownership of celestial bodies. One huckster, announcing sovereignty over all the other planets in our solar syatem in the name of a "Galactic Government," is offering cheap acreage on the Moon. Property rights to asteroids for mining purposes, or to tracts on the Moon or Mars, are one thing, but this party's sweeping claims cannot stand unchallenged. Therefor I proclaim my title, under the Imperium, as Satrap of Saturn. |
