As mentioned earlier-last Sunday we went to Peles castle in Sinaia: I guess you could call it a castle-but to me it strikes me as more of a well appointed hunting lodge. It was built in 1881 by King Carol of Romania: I paid the 32 RON for a photo

As is my custom on August 6-I try to honor the day that life changed forever in Japan, in an event that haunts them still today. Today is the 6th of August. It was the day in 1945 when the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima by the B-29 Enola

The big dogs are finally out of here! As a result, it made me think of this post I wrote up a few years ago-that is worth reviewing again. It’s review of Slogans and cliches is probably worth looking at again: The high muckety mucks are outta here!!!!!!! They are
