Columbus Day

Pic: Cole and I having our afternoon tea while tackling our respective work today.

Cole is Native American, so we're not taking the day off for Columbus Day.

Rather, we are discussing the history of European exploration between 1460-1600 and the ultimately devastating effects on the North American Native Americans from Columbus' discovery of the Americas (which to his dying day of a heart attack at age 54, he thought was East Asia).

Cole likes my f/b friend, Robert Folsom's, post today (Robert is also Native American): Fighting illegal immigration and terrorism since 1492.
