I was thinking about the old Roman pottery at Horningsea, and then I was looking for some Sufi poetry and decided to read something by Muhammad Iqbal, but the only poem of his I found on The Poetry Foundation was this one, called Sicily:

Sicily was conquered by the Arabs over the course of a century or so by around the year 900 and then flourished as the Emirate of Sicily until the Norman Conquest led by Roger I whence it became The County of Sicily. Before that, Sicily had been fought over by the Greeks in Carthaginian wars and the Romans in the Punic Wars, and remained a Roman Province until the fall of the Roman Empire.

I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...
