Dispatches From A Viking Encampment Department
Last Friday, my son and I went over to the Hjemkomst Festival in Moorhead, MN. Lars Walker was there with a detatchment of the Viking Age Club & Society, doing some demonstrations of Viking Age stuff (naturally). We had to leave before their live steel demonstration, but I did get a couple of snaps.
Here's his pavilion. He was inside at the time, participating in a fashion show. (Lest anyone worry that I've put a dent in his manly image, he was modeling the Viking warrior look, complete with chain mail.)
Here he's interacting with an adoring public.
And here's our hero with my son.
Like I said, I had to leave before they did their live steel demonstration; however, a photographer from the local paper did catch Lars in action here.

Once In A Blue Moon Department
My wife and I spotted an albino robin in our neighboorhood a few weeks ago, and managed to get a few snapshots. It was very eye-catching, with the characteristic read breast, but white feathers everywhere else. We finally got the film developed, so here it is:

Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows the Cleveland Volcano in the Aleutian Islands erupting, as seen from the International Space Station. It's a great picture!
