Met with my friend Meghan who was feeling sick but we ran about 3 miles going downtown and back. It was nice!
I also went on a nice walk with my other friend to get Bodo's and coffee and be in the sunshine! It was great.
Did you know I love the sun?
Did you know I love when it's warm?
Did you know?! Were you AWARE?! Has this parcel of information found purchase in your consciousness that I prefer the seasons where the temperature is higher over the seasons of a colder temperature?
Something I learned today is this: MUENSTER cheese. With an 'e' is an American-made cheese from the 1800's that is based on the French MUNSTER cheese (no 'e').
Munster cheese, cheese from a town in the Alsace region of France called Munster traces back to 1371.
And that town, Munster, is different than the German city of Münster (with an umlaut over the u).
And so if you absorb all this information you can be really insufferable whenever anyone talks about Muenster cheese.
Also this part of the history of German city Münster and I really enjoyed it
In 1534, an apocalyptic Anabaptist sect, led by John of Leiden, took power in the Münster rebellion and founded a democratic proto-socialistic state. They claimed all property, burned all books except the Bible, and called it the "New Jerusalem". John of Leiden believed he would lead the elect from Münster to capture the entire world and purify it of evil with the sword in preparation for the Second Coming of Christ and the beginning of the Millennium. They went so far as to require all citizens to be naked as preparation for the Second Coming. However, the town was recaptured in 1535; the Anabaptists were tortured to death and their corpses were exhibited in metal baskets, which can still be seen hanging from the tower of St. Lambert's Church.
People were just DOING STUFF back then.
