On this day (or, more correctly....+2....approximately) in 1349, in the midst of the

Black Plague had spread from the eastern Mediterranean throughout most of Europe
killing millions over the preceding three years. People searched everywhere for the
source of the plague...a heavenly curse; a burden of immigrants; the result of spices in
the food. It was tough to figure however, since whenever they held a conference
either the host area caught the plague or the visitors did...so...not too many
conferences.
Then in the six months preceding this date the death rate leveled off…..or seemed to.
So in castles and universities and town halls across Europe, great minds pondered the
cause of the plague. And they came pretty close. The collective
governmental/academic wisdom was that the source of the Black Plague was fleas -
(absolutely correct).
So the word went out from town to town across Europe - to stop the plague - kill the
fleas - by killing all the dogs. And immediately the slaughter of all dogs began.
But like lots of well intentioned governmental/academic ideas it was somewhat wide
of the mark…..and had unexpected consequences. The cause was fleas alright but not
dog fleas...it was rat fleas. And in the 1300's what was the most effective way to
hold down the rat population...you guessed it - dogs. So by suggesting that
townsfolk kill their dogs, the wise authorities had unwittingly allowed the rat
population to flourish and thus a new vicious rash and global outbreak of Black
Plague began. Before it was over, three years later, nearly 1 out of 3 people in the
world had died of the plague.
(Historic footnote...Published sources say that with so many people dying, millions of
estates had to be settled - result...the fallout of the plague was a huge growth
in.....the number of.....you guessed it…..lawyers.)
(Historic Note II…All that property shuffling also transformed how we deal with
property and real estate. Recall – the word – "mortgage" comes from the French and
means "death contract".)

Rather than marry, Brontë struggled as a teacher and governess to help support her brother Branwell's literary aspirations. In the end, Branwell's excesses destroyed him; his sisters, though, all became literary figures.

 
I wonder how many women were brave enough to take the step of remaining single throughout their lives, because they did not want the drudgery of marriage.
