Just crossed into Ontario.
The border guard asked if Charles had a passport too.
I said with as much childlike innocence as I could muster “no. Because he’s not real”.
He smiled. Then asked me if I had anything I was leaving in Canada when I left.
I had to puzzle over that one. 🙂

A whole family, in a white chevy, smiling and waving at Charles. Father beaming and excited — more so than his ten year old son. Couldn’t get their picture fast enough.

45 miles to plymouth Michigan.
Is gasoline mire efficient at lower altitudes? I wouldn’t think it’d be perceptible.
The guy next to me almost drove off the road when he saw Charles.
Around Detroit you can feel
IQs dropping like barometric pressure. Or maybe it’s just the way people are driving? 😉
Snarky. I know. It happens.

Before the recession there was a hot market for elaborate Christmas ornaments. I bought a handful every year carefully collecting every pagan symbol I could find.
I’m all in support of cconsumer Christmas and Christianity. But germanic people, we are all pagans underneath.
All monotheistic religions require submission. Slavery. And the assumption that life is suffering from which we need salvation,
Our pagan heritage is instead sovereignty. Freedom. And the assumption is that life is joyous and the world our playground to be transformed by our will.
I know which assumption I subscribe to.
And at Christmas ill celebrate that one. 😉

William Iron Arm was a Norman knight then count who fought in Italy and Sicily.
William Iron Arm was a Norman knight then count who fought in Italy and Sicily. He was even bigger than most of his peers and arrogant in a way that we have forgotten is useful.
At one point the Byzantines sent a herald/messenger to threaten him and his men. As a demonstration more powerful than words he swung his mailed fist and killed the messengers horse dead with a single blow. Gave the messenger a new horse and sent him on his way.
No words could have had equal meaning.

Coming up on Kalamazoo Michigan.
First large roadkill of the trip. Deer. The concrete highway is vibrating the car fast and hard. Charles looks like he’s laughing.
He terrified a girl at the gas station this morning. ;). If she wasn’t awake beforehand, she was after. 🙂

Holly was a defense against evil feared and elves. Before the Victorian era holly was called ‘christmas’ and Christmas trees were holly trees. It’s an old plant that was often raised for winter fodder believe it or not.
