Where I live..

This doesn't exactly belong in this forum but I thought some might enjoy it.
It moves on a bit after 1 minute in.

Some chronological disjunctions, but hey..

17th Century London; you must be really old - perhaps worth cloning. I lived there in the 20th Century - so glad I moved to Canada.

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr

It's the London of Mr. Pepys! Enthralling for me, as it provides a stage--at long last--on which to cast the plague, the great fire, the coronation, the romantic dalliances, the building of the navy, the graft, the making of a personal fortune, and other details large and small that Pepys recorded daily from 1660-1669. What a treat! (Even given a few chronological disjunctions.)
