#MythologyMonday: `Records from the 18th century show that a pot of eggs, butter, oatmeal, and milk was placed on the Beltane fire, after a bit of the mixture had been thrown onto the ground to honor the spirits; once cooked, the oatcake was divided into nine parts and offered to the animals who might steal the harvest: one part to the crow, one to the eagle, one to the fox, and so forth. Even as late as the 19th century, Beltane fires were still being built in rural districts of Scotland and cattle driven between them for purification.`

Though I have a hard time believing Matt Gaetz would go to therapy (despite apparently needing it), so perhaps it is just random coincidence… #USPol #MattGaetz #Oatmeal

"There's no machine known that is more efficient than a human on a bicycle.
Bowl of oatmeal, 30 Miles -- you can't come close to that."
