Happy #NoKings day to those who celebrate. Hope your protests were peaceful and uneventful. Alas, here in #Culpeper, not an hour away from #Charlottesville, some yahoo decided to drive his SUV recklessly into the crowd dispersing after the protest ended. No injuries reported. Thanks to the Culpeper PD for responding.

Apparently one day every year it is possible to wander around in an old quarry outside #culpeper looking at dinosaur tracks. Sadly the 2024 event has already happened culpepermuseum.com/dino-walk/

#January 10, 1654
#OTD Nicholas #Culpeper, English #Botanist, #Herbalist, #Physician, & #Astrologer, died.

A radical thinker, his Complete #Herbal revealed medicinal secrets to the masses & was still used in #JaneAusten's time - a century later. He didn't charge the poor & examined many of his patients for free.

Nicholas used #Melancholy #Thistle (Cirsium heterophyllum) for depression:

"[Added to] #Wine, it expels superfluous melancholy out of the body, & makes a man as #Merry as a cricket."
