It is 2009 and all is silent. Maybe more “proof” will surface next year.

A military friend of mine who works with satellites told me North Pole activity is heating up. He reports dozens of “small” humanoids working around a series of small wooden buildings. Also, there are at least 9 small reindeer moving about.

An excellent visit for any war historian. It has anything and everything you can imagine regarding the major 20th century conflicts.

I’ve been several times, and always find something new.

Just a great collection. There’s a lot of stuff that feels “British” to me. I can’t really explain why I love this museum, I just do.

One of the best museums in the world. The Elgin Marbles and Sutton Hoo hoard are worth the visit.

I’d suggest brushing up on your ancient history before visiting. Everything is well explained, but some prior knowledge will make your visit that much more enjoyable.

Also, if you’re into mummies this is the place.

We visited in 2005 with no real plan. We met a guy on the ferry, and ended up hanging out with him most of the time. Our trip consisted of wandering about looking at stuff and drinking gallons mint tea.

I really want to go back.

As far as Utah cities go, Ogden gets a bad rap. Essentially a rail town, once the trains quit running Ogden’s economy tanked. It is now reinventing itself as an outdoor eco-haven.

We plan on moving there this year.

Just flew out today on my way home to Virginia.

It is a nice airport, but the security is just petty bullshit. In my humble opinion, there is way too much post 9-11 security bullshit infringing on our civil liberties. (Yes Barra Obama and your FISA flip flop, I’m looking at you. Prick!)

Anyway, these overweight dildo security fuckers pulled me for an extra special search. It amounted to using a red container for my shoes and having air blown on me. WTF ever.

Meanwhile, some little pasty-ass college girl in the same line was given the third degree. I’m talking being patted down, air blown up her shirt, and some detector waved under her feet. She got everything but a pelvic examine, but who knows what happened after I left.

So while this shit is going on, a huge bottleneck of several hundred people are waiting to pass security.

News flash Homeland Security, with all your nonsense security “improvements” the terrorists no longer need to get on the plane. If they detonate suicide bombs in the bottleneck that is created waiting to board, they’ll kill more people than if they were actually on the aircraft.

FIX IT!!!!!

It is a Mormon Temple with a visitor center. There are plenty of LDS missionaries who are MORE than happy to answer any and all questions. If you’re in Salt Lake City, you check it out.

If you’re expecting Westminster Abbey or Notre Dame, you’re in for disappointment.

Great city with lots to do, but expect road construction. I’m from Utah and I swear to God, the roads are always being torn up and rebuilt.
