Doing my duty in recruiting for His Majesty's Army, in the King's Own 4th Regiment of Foot. (It was a rather warm weekend, so please excuse my state of undress without my waistcoat.)

I obtained no less than 60 new recruits by mark of their names in proper calligraphy! Though we may have lost many of them in this rebel town of Exeter, what with how many cheers were roared during a reading of that treasonous Declaration of Independence.

The Exeter LitFest, held for the first time in April, recently received approval as a 501c3 nonprofit organization with the intention of making the festival an annual event.

"Seacoast residents are invited to join Exeter in celebrating its literary history; past present and future April 5-6 at the town’s first ever LitFest.

Renay Allen, an event organizer with the LitFest’s steering committee said Exeter is a regional hub of writers dating back to Colonial times. She said coming up with the programming and lining up speakers took nearly two years.

'Exeter is home to a stunning array of writers throughout history we wanted to celebrate,' Allen said. 'So we figured if we built it, people will come to learn about them.'

Challenge 140: They Draw and Travel: Exeter, NH

I took this opportunity to try and re-do my map from challenge 103. I originally had planned to make this a wood piece but one emergency room visit and unexpected surgery later and I didn’t have the time. I’m actually still okay with the final result and I’m really surprised to see how much I’ve grown and changed as an artist even just in the last few years. While I much prefer working with physical materials I’ve found a settled level of comfort working in illustrator.

Donald Trump said after betraying our allies the Kurds: “Sometimes you have to let them fight a little while. It’s like two kids in a lot, you got to let them fight and then you pull them apart,”

Yes this crying woman sure looks like some kid in a playground fighting. This man, this coward of a so called man, has not one shred of empathy in his miserable being.

To him human life is meaningless.

Site of the “Exeter Incident,” a famous and well documented UFO sighting.

Route 150 Kensington, New Hampshire

“The Exeter incident was a highly publicized UFO sighting that occurred on September 3, 1965, approximately 5 miles (8 km) south of Exeter, New Hampshire, in the neighboring community of Kensington. Although several separate sightings had been made by numerous witnesses in the weeks leading up to September 3, the specific incident, eventually to become by far the most famous, involved a local teenager and two police officers. ”
