Welcome to the New Day Cafe! This is an open thread.

National Geographic had a recent story on the Vindolanda tablets, tablets that told of the daily lives of Roman soldiers in what is now the UK.

x Written on wood, the Vindolanda tablets offer a trove of information on the ordinary, even mundane moments in the lives of the Romans who once lived on this frontier base

Isn’t it cool how much has become digitized?

Grab a cup of coffee and share what’s on your mind this morning.
