October 10 is a New Moon, which always means new beginnings.

Leif The Curious

"Erikson Day is an annual observance that occurs on October 9. 

It honors Leif Erikson (Old Norse: Leifr Eiríksson), the Norse explorer who, in approximately 1000 AD, led the first Europeans believed to have set foot on the continent of North America (other than Greenland).

Because the exact date of Leif's arrival to the Americas is unknown, the October 9 date was chosen in commemoration of the Restauration's arrival to New York Harbor in 1825 carrying some of the first Norwegian immigrants to the United States." - Wikipedia

How 'bout some sillies?

October 9 is also Curious Events Day, celebrating the strange, odd, and weird. 

If you have a questioning and curious mind, this is your day!

A New Art Theft in France

"330-Pound Dalí-Designed Bronze Book Cover Stolen from French Museum"

"A bronze book jacket designed by famed Surrealist Salvador Dalí and weighing 330 pounds was swiped from a small private museum in Issoire, France, in an overnight theft this past weekend, Le Monde reports. Encrusted with precious stones, seashells, and cutlery, the cover is believed to have been taken between October 4 and October 5.

The jacket housed the pages of the Livre de l’Apocalypse, also known as the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of St. John, and was part of a 1958–61 collaboration between Dalí and thirteen other artists and writers commissioned by French publisher Joseph Forêt. Among the contributors to the volume were Bernard Buffet, Jean Cocteau, Leonor Fini, Léonard Foujita, Jean Giono, and Ossip Zadkine."

Am so very thankful to have seen with my own eyes several original Dalí pieces...not the stolen one, however...and while his surrealist art takes some getting used to, the viewer knows that the techniques and skill are amazing.
