TIL: Jules Verne's nephew shot him (in the leg), apparently because he wanted his uncle to "achieve immortality". HUH. The nephew was committed to an asylum after the shooting. Tbf, Jules Verne is kind of immortalized as a Father of Science Fiction. So. Maybe it worked? #literature

Went on a walk last week and found some beautiful mushrooms.

May you taste a good thing and share it. May you find warm shelter and invite someone into it. May you drink fresh water and carry enough to those who cannot reach it. May your enough be enough for more than you alone. 321/366
