Dirty cruise ships

Don't mistake the title of this post to infer "naughty cruise ships" or "filthy cruise ships", or "saucy cruise ships" although we're sure that there are those types floating about, as it were. You can imagine / infer what those titles mean (in your spare time.) But, if we step out of the…

Fly through history, друг

As is our wont, we present yet another post focused on history and travel. But this one takes several different slants, and ones that we hope you'll investigate. Specifically, here we feature live history that you can not only read about (and watch the video,) but this is history where you can…

Three Fingers

Despite us living here in the Pacific Northwest of North America, and having traversed a lot of it, something new appeared to us yesterday about this vast region that was quite interesting. To preface this find, we should probably start out by explaining how much of this part of the earth is covered by…
