🕰️ Throwback — June 16, 2019
🍺 Pliny the Elder — Russian River (Imperial/Double IPA, 8%)
Bright citrus and pine resin with a clean, dry finish that keeps it sharp and incredibly drinkable. Bold, controlled, and still a benchmark beer.
Score: 4.965 / 5.0

Ambiliati: #JuliusCaesar was not too concerned with pinpointing them, and #Pliny the Elder merely includes them in the #Veneti revolt of 56 BC.

BRB, checking what #PlinyTheElder thought the best way to increase cortisol was.
...
Huh. Create a poultice of iguana blood, sulfur, and the burnt spleen of a rodent that was cooked under a waxing gibbous moon, apply directly to the face for three hours, and repeat every three days. CAN DO!

A bottle of Pliny the Elder beer from Russian River Brewing Company. I scored several bottles of this hard-to-find beer in Colorado, and am enjoying it in the driveway tonight.
The high part of the roof with the new window has been painted. I recruited the help of a painter in the neighborhood to get it done.
Zoey scored a new sweater this morning. A neighbor dog just passed away and his owner gave it to Zoey when we walked by.
Frannie the Corgi is out sunning her belly this afternoon. It’s good to be Frannie…
In Colorado, I scored some #PlinyTheElder double IPA beer, so I’m cracking one open in the driveway tonight.
I got the high peak painted today, with an assist from a painter working in the neighborhood.
The day started out cool, but it is now 73°, warm and breezy.

Two glasses filled with Pliney the Elder craft beer with a camera.
On vacation in SoCal. While Hazel is home in MN, we had to bring a lil bit of #beercat with us to revisit Pliny. 😋
A classic. And still delicious.

Just watched a lecture by Anne Vial-Logeay: L'antiquité romaine à travers les mangas. She especially talks about Thermae Romae, Ad Astra and PLINIVS. #manga #RomanHistory #PlinyTheElder #PunicWars #Hannibal #RomanBaths #onsen
It’s the Bardino Majorero—not the Presa Canario—that might descend from the “large dogs” Pliny the Elder mentioned. But he never described their type. #CanaryDogs #PlinyTheElder

My favorite recipe from #PlinyTheElder is his cure for #SameSex desire: Make an ointment out of oil & the burned hairs of a hyena’s anus. Rub it all over the guy! Works as well as #ConversionTherapy. May be cheaper. Ghosts of #HistSex still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com
🔥 #OTD in #History 24 Aug 79 BC , according to his letters to #Tacitus, #PlinyTheYounger witnessed the catastrophic eruption of #MountVesuvius that devastated #Pompeii. His uncle #PlinyTheElder was killed. There is, however, evidence that the eruption occurred later in October.
