Our guide in Israel told us of being on Highway One in California and seeing a sign that said “historic site”. They pulled off to see it, and laughed their heads off when they learned it was a 200 year old lighthouse. He said, “That’s like 15 minutes in our country!”
This is what passes for historic in my world. It is a drawing for the upcoming adult coloring book of Exeter. This is not 2000 years old, or even 200 years old. But, it’s what we’ve got around here.
It needs the border and my signature, and I think I might have scanned it a little crooked. Lots more to draw – I was off work for 2 weeks, and there are coloring books to be created, quickly, before the fad’s 15 minutes of relevance wear off.
15 minutes, 200 years, 2000 years. . . what’s old?

Europe is like that, at times, where “old” means so much more than here. I wandered winding cobble stone streets from the 1500s in France. Israel is so much older, I know. Phew.
