Sunshine Double 2024 | Sincaraz

"The Sincaraz Sunshine Double" actually sounds beautifully ☀✨🥰

[clove-pinks]

I was reading the interpretive signs at Fort Miamis when I had a John Graves Simcoe encounter in the wild, paging @acrossthewavesoftime!

Simcoe penned one of the Letters From 1794 excerpted on this sign!

I have to laugh at "Mr. Wayne" for General "Mad" Anthony Wayne. Wayne, Simcoe, and Wayne's aide-de-camp William Henry Harrison all used Maumee/Miami interchangeably for what is called the Maumee River today. Simcoe makes it plural with "Miamis."

I don't know why I'm surprised when I was already aware that Simcoe built Fort Miamis?? It's right there in the opening chapters of William Henry Harrison and the Conquest of the Ohio Country: Frontier Fighting in the War of 1812 by David Curtis Skaggs:

The governor general of Canada, Sir Guy Carleton, recently elevated to the peerage as Lord Dorchester, promised such aid [to Indigenous allies] because he expected the United States and Great Britain to be at war shortly and, if so, they could expect direct assistance from His Majesty's government. To implement this, Carleton ordered John Graves Simcoe, the lieutenant governor of Upper Canada (modern Ontario), to construct a fort near the rapids of the Maumee River. (Named Fort Miamis, though often designated Fort Miami on early maps, was located in what is now the eastern edge of Maumee, Ohio, on the river's north bank.) All this was an aspect of a British desire to create an Indian barrier state between the lakes and the Ohio River [...]

I'll say it again: John Graves Simcoe may have had the greatest effect on the War of 1812, for a person who didn't live to see it.

What were Simcoe's thoughts on the aftermath of the Battle of Fallen Timbers? Did he know that the gates of Fort Miamis were closed to the Indigenous allies of the British, who fled there for shelter from Wayne's army?

This is without a doubt one of the classics that redefined the 2000's indie scene, both the asian/theatrical visuals and the disco/house sound are the signature of of Empire of The Sun, which is one the three big names of disco indie music, along with Neon Indian and Miami Horror.

We should totally rename the Sunshine Double and just call it the Flooding Double ☀️🌧️

[clove-pinks]

I'm at the ruins of Fort Miamis today, originally built by the British in 1794 to stop US military advances in the Maumee Valley and to solidify Indigenous support against westward expansion of US settlements. It was abandoned, but reoccupied by the British in 1813 to battle American forces upriver at Fort Meigs during the War of 1812.

I had expected the old earthworks of the fort—all that remains at the site—to be gentle undulations in the earth, but they are still quite steep! My pictures don't do it justice. Just down the street there is a public boat launch on the Maumee River, seen here from an observation deck at the elevation of the old fort.
