bristol beginnings
I found a link regarding the numbers on Lost. There is NO SPOILER here, it simply uses a mathematical formula to get “the numbers”. Check it out.
The last of my two week auction items went out today. Whew. Now I’m going to gear up for my Nirvana sale.
There is a good article in the ProJo Live section regarding King Phillip and the Native Indians who once inhabited my fine hometown. Little did I realize how close to home the declaration of war was in the 1675 from King Phillip's Seat.
Here’s the rest of the story: Within a couple of miles of my house in Bristol, deep in the woods near the Haffenreffer Museum, an old well stands on the traditional site of King Phillip's death. It was here that Metacom (the real name for King Phillip) was betrayed, murdered and beheaded. According to legend, his head was displayed on a post in Plymouth for 25 years. It is a tragic place, but simple, to mark the end of an important leader. Nearby, a square stone marker, which the RI Historical Society placed in 1877, marks the site.
