Short Sebatical

So somethings have come up recently that require a bit more of my attention and a lot of inner speculation. For these reasons, I will not be writing for a while. I want to take a second here to thank the people who have supported me through the last few days. I know that it's not always easy to hear and see a friend in pain, but you have been strong for me when I couldn't be. I love you very much.

Here's one last pic from Greene. We have pretty much finished with the actual objects anyway, so you all won't be missing that many more pics.


I'm not sure if you can actually read that, but it's a copy from a store's record book. This portion of the page is labeled "Slaves" and lists the name of the slave with the price. Such as "1 Negro boy named Allen $680". You could buy a human being for what we would pay today for a computer. Now yes, I understand that money then versus money now are two very different things, but still. I had never seen it that plainly. It's terrible. And unfortunately, a part of our history.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Check back from time to time, I'm not sure how long I'll need.
