”I like to say that I was a garlic smuggler for the mafia, which I was, but there’s more to the story than that.”

@ehasbrouck@urbanists.social reflects on his time in a federal penitentiary, where the kinds of cooking Italian maximum security inmates get up to would have been completely unthinkable.

Composite image. On the left a map showing the location of the quest and my position. On the right, the small, round tempietto, domed above with a window and balustrades, and surrounded by a colonnade. It is seen through the arches of the courtyard in which it sits.

How very pleasant. Today’s quest was just to the side of what some people cite as the jewel of the Renaissance architecture, Bramante’s Tempietto. I couldn’t get any closer today, though I have been inside on other occasions.

Introducing Cornerstone: A WordPress Theme for the IndieWeb

This IndieWeb-first WordPress theme is an interesting development from Khürt Williams. Might have to give it a spin to see how well it does with ClassicPress. I don't actually need to convert another site, but I also could, I think, without losing much. Depends on how it does images.
