Day at Winchester Cathedral







We went and visited Winchester the Capitol of England once upon a time.  To Joanie's pleasant suprise it also contains the grave of Jane Austin.



































Beale Park


This is a day at Beale Park.  Kora loved the face painting and this statue below.




















Wayland's Smithy grave yard


A very cool place that requires a short hike to get to.  Makes for a fun Saturday.  Entrance has been closed off so no walking down into the tomb.









Trip to South Wales Chepstow Castle

This is the handiest little Utility I use.

I had to reinstall it and took me forever to find the link again. This way I won't loose it again and maybe someone else will find it worthwhile as well.

YouTube - Milton Friedman - Socialized Medicine

This is a great clip.

It is scary for me to think that the US is actually considering government funded health care. Now that I live in Britain and in socialized health care system I can attest to it's uselessness.

Rose's message misses the point - College Basketball News | FOX Sports on MSN

Rose's message misses the point - College Basketball News | FOX Sports on MSN:


"As for athletics, it’s our responsibility to raise kids willing to be led by men we trust and respect. We can’t be upset that some coaches — white and black — don’t want the hassle of doing a job God intended parents to do."

This is one of the best quotes I have seen.

Gmail back soon for everyone - Official Gmail Blog

Gmail back soon for everyone - Official Gmail Blog

I was not affected by this gratefully. However, I find Google's approach of complete openness to be refreshing. Instead of trying to mask it or be closed lipped about it they are up front clear.

Reason I use google.

A Chicago School Accomplishes Feat of Sending All Seniors to College - FoxNews.com

This is no small feat. In my mind this should be front page news. When so much negativity seems to be in the news about teachers and our school system, this really should make the headlines.

Congrats to this kids.
