Pottery, animal bones, seeds, nuts, and more tell a tale of what everyday life was like in medieval times in a monastic settlement in Ireland... dating back to the 13th century at the Beamore dig, in East Month, just outside Drogheda. Among the rare finds was evidence that the Cistercian monastery included a sourdough bread bakery and a communal toilet along with its own air-freshening pot... sourdough bakery... the home of a unique Cistercian community, from Normandy in France... A previous dig at the site had unearthed 13th-century French jugs, roof tiles, a corn drying kiln, and dried peas. This proved that the residents practiced crop rotation... During this year's dig, which ended in August, experts unearthed a medieval key, bones from cows, sheep, cats, and dogs along with mixed farm products such as peas, beans, oats, wheat, and rye. Imported fruits such as grapes and figs from France also showed that the monks practiced mixed farming. A timber dash-urn with a paddle used to churn butter, also proved that these monastic farmers were self-sufficient.

I’ve got some MacDonald’s and one MacDougall in my tree. None connected to the Isle of Man though.

That sentence could have been constructed better.

Yes, I know you did not write it.

But in writing, as in real life, it is best to keep the kitchen away from the jakes.

As the breeding program nears its conclusion, humans are selected as the best choice; at the same time, the breeding programs of the other three planets are terminated, and their penultimates never meet their planned mates. Kimball Kinnison meets and marries the product of the complementary human breeding program, Clarissa MacDougall. She is a beautiful, curvaceous, red-haired nurse, who eventually becomes the first human female to receive her own Lens. Their children, a boy and two pairs of fraternal twin sisters, grow up to be the five Children of the Lens. In their breeding, “almost every strain of weakness in humanity is finally removed.”

I’m not sure who my ancestors were. But I’m pretty certain they were eventually paroled.

And the ancient Rodham and Clinton bloodlines?

What about those precious lines? They both certainly involve a lot of blood.

I know that’s Doc Smith, but I suspect that somehow, Heinlein would have approved... :P
