• TITLE: "Cross Burning and Free Speech" This was the title of the New York Times editorial.

• "... Travelogues ..." Here's the link to all the Travelogues of the past few years. They go from the earliest at the top, to the most recent at the bottom.

  And here are the links to the current Travelogues:
  Chapter 1: Don't Eat the Two-Toned Fish
  Chapter 2: Eating Where the Grand Duke Ate

  Mullfoto of the Day:
  
  Yet more proof that I would make the world's worst spy:

  The Lad and I went to the International Spy Museum in Your Nation's Capital over the weekend. Upon entering, a very bored guard told me that no photographs were permitted.

  To prove I am above such petty rules, I took this very excellent photograph - without being observed! - of an exhibit within the museum.
