Alright, let’s talk about this thing I’ve been messing with – Vernon Macklin and Brooke. Sounds fancy, huh? It’s not as complicated as it might sound. I stumbled upon this while reading some stuff online, and it kinda stuck with me.
So, I started by just gathering information. You know, the usual – reading articles and some other documents. It all began with me trying to understand the history of how some folks moved from Barbados to the Carolinas way back when. Apparently, they were big on plantations and, sadly, slavery. That’s heavy stuff, but it got me thinking about how these historical events shaped places.
Then, I switched gears a bit and found myself knee-deep in Excel. Yeah, I know, not the most thrilling thing, but I was curious about data validation rules. Like, do these rules still apply when you’re just typing stuff in or when the cell is doing some fancy calculations? Turns out, they do.
After that, I bumped into this story about some guy named Wilford Woodruff. He had this vision about the Founding Fathers – it’s all tied up with religious history, which, honestly, isn’t my usual cup of tea, but it was interesting to read about.
And there’s this other stuff I’ve been looking into about Owen Barfield. He was into etymology, which is like the history of words. This Barfield guy thought that if you really dig into the history of words, you’d find some connection between, like, Alexander the Great and Augustine of Hippo. I don’t know, it sounds a bit out there, but it’s got me thinking about how language and ideas evolve over time. Some guy named Mark Vernon wrote about this.
All of this might seem like a jumble, but it’s been a fun little project. Jumping from the history of slavery to Excel rules to religious visions and then to the origins of words – it’s a wild ride. It’s like piecing together a puzzle, except the pieces are from different sets, and you’re not even sure what the final picture is supposed to be.
Here’s what I did:
- Read a bunch of articles and documents.
- Figured out some Excel stuff.
- Learned about Wilford Woodruff’s vision.
- Explored Owen Barfield’s ideas on word history.
- Tried to connect all these random things together.
I guess the main thing I realized is that there’s a ton of stuff out there, and it’s all connected in some weird way. It’s like, you start with something simple, and before you know it, you’re down a rabbit hole of history, religion, and language.
The Wrap-Up
So yeah, that’s my adventure with Vernon Macklin and Brooke. It’s not like I’ve solved some big mystery or anything. I just followed my curiosity, read a lot, and learned some new things. And who knows, maybe I’ll pick this up again later and see where else it leads.
