(The book is The Life of Franklin Pierce by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It's basically a piece of propaganda he wrote for his friend in support for Pierce's campaign for the US presidency. Pierce was an infamously terrible president who hastened the US Civil War through incompetence and inaction, and even Hawthorne seemed not too willing to give the most glowing endorsement.)

I'm more a student of inter-World-War era (roaring twenties, great depression, rise of fascism in Europe, all that jazz, literally and metaphorically) historry, but the leadup to the civil war has that same "careening towards disaster" energy that feels all too familiar.

One of the greatest wordsmiths in American history writing a really lackluster memoir of a political candidate known for accomplishing little of note ahead of that politicians worst hour, one which led the country to prepare to start eating itself, is wildly evocative to me

That's so cool!!! Thanks for sharing and I hope they have an awesome adventure :D

Hi it me. The friend of friend. @onio I'm having an absolute blast! Learning HTML has been fun and the next thing I want to tackle is CSS :D

Hi Falco, it looks like you're off to a really great start B) CSS is a lot of fun, and between those two languages there is so much potential for what you can create.

So I can see! I've used some basic stuff for my headings but I just need to find some tutorials that help me nail down some more of the layout aspect.

I like to recommend people check out https://discourse.32bit.cafe/t/resources-list-for-the-personal-web/49 - you might find something helpful there!

Oh you hero! Thank you!

I'll sober up on salmon, rice and beans and head back once I'm good to go. Might track down buttons for my web neighborhood section on my homepage if I'm up to it.( I.E., if I'm not sleeping this off. I'm a lightweight and rarely drink so we'll see)

So what other natural disasters do you have on your alarm clock bingo sheet?
