Weekend 128.0
Where are the Red Coats going? Not sure. My guess is they are being deployed on this Fung Wah bus to break up a tea party. They could also be touring great battlefields of the American Revolutionary War.

The Son of Denethor
The death of Boromir"A mile, maybe, from Parth Galen in a little glade not far from the lake he found Boromir. He was sitting with his back to a great tree, as if he was resting. But Aragorn saw that he was pierced with many black-feathered arrows; his sword was still in his hand, but it was broken near the hilt; his horn cloven in two was at his side. Many Orcs lay slain, piled all about him and at his feet."
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord Of The Rings

Hans Beck, RIP
Playmobil Creator DiesPlaymobil has very passionate fans. I think these photos on Flickr demonstrate Beck's legacy.
Hans Beck was the German inventor of the toy figurines that became a wild success all over the world. Hans Beck, German inventor of the Playmobil toy figurines, died on 30th January 2009, aged 79.
My own contribution to that collection and a tribute to Hans Beck.

Weekend 50.1
From Balaguet there cometh an Emir;His form is noble, his eyes are bold and clear,
When on his horse he's mounted in career
He bears him bravely armed in his battle-gear,
And for his courage he's famous far and near;
Were he but Christian, right knightly he'd appear.
Before Marsile he cries for all to hear:
"To Roncevaux", saith he, "my course I'll steer;
If I find Roland, then death shall be his weird,
And Oliver's, and all of the Twelve Peers!
The French shall die the death in shame and tears.
King Charlemayne, the dotard old and blear,
Will soon be sick of waging warfare here!
Spain shall be ours in peace this many a year!"
The King Marsile pours thanks into his ears.
