Random Thoughts Thickness: Thin line: -write compactly -ink seems to last longer -best for fine writing in limited spaces Thick line: -takes up more room on a page -more ink used -easier to read -best for labels Printing: -is slower -takes more effort because pen must be lifted off paper for each letter -is easier to read Cursive: -is faster -is easier on the hand -is more difficult to read -is unique for each person's  signature Any thoughts?

If our perception of time could slow down to the relaxed speed of flowers,  we could enjoy them so much more.  Click on video link: http://player.vimeo.com/video/27920977?title=0&%3bbyline=0&%3bportrait=0href= From the Fridge Soup blog  http://friko-fridgesoup.blogspot.com/ .

(This shield looks like something from a science fiction movie!) I was looking up the shield designs of Roman soldiers when I came upon this interesting fact. When the Roman army went into battle they developed a strategy called, "Testudo" (it became known as the, ‘Tortoise’). The command, "As One" was given and each soldier would stand with his shield overlapping the shield of the soldier next to him. This made an near impregnable battle formation.  It crushed the front lines of the enemy. I've read that this locking shields strategy won many battles. I'll add more interesting posts about Ancient Rome from time to time. .

A wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, Rome's legendary founders. The legend: Romulus and Remus --The twin sons of the god of war Mars, were abandoned. --They were discovered by a female wolf who instead of eating them suckled them until they were found and reared by a shepherd. --They founded Rome in 753 B.C. --Romulus killed his twin in a power struggle. --Rome was named after him In a cavern 50 feet under the ruins of the palace of Emperor Augustus there is a domed ceiling decorated with colorful mosaics and seashells. At its center a painted eagle, a symbol of the Roman Empire. “This is one of the most important discoveries of all time,” said Andrea Carandini, a prominent Italian archaeologist. He has long held that the myths of ancient Rome could be true. He said he derived added satisfaction from the cave’s location.
