Random Stuff

I have to say it was strange not working this past weekend, and kind of sad and depressing too, especially the first day. I was very glad that Y and M showed up, as walking a festival alone is apparently not my thing, at least not for very long.

People with my name

HowManyOfMe.com

There are: 536 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

And at least one of them lives just a couple of towns over, in a town fitzw used to live in - no relation. Using my full name, my name is unique. Using my first name and maiden last name, there are 126. (There aren't a lot of Abbotts in the U.S.)

A Revelation!

Okay, it isn't a really big revelation, but...

From Aberystwyth and District Archaeological Society web site:

"The raw materials for making a pot consisted of clay, dug from the ground, and water. Clay extraction inevitably left large holes in the surface, and the potters were supposed to fill them in again to prevent people and animals falling down them. Mediaeval court records are full of cases where potters had neglected their responsibility or where they had excavated clay from forbidden areas such as the King's Highway."

So dangerous holes made in the road by potters are.... _POT_HOLES!!!
