And we’re off to the Big Ditch

Having just finished the long, boring read of how the Panama Canal was created, well...Tom read the whole thing. I gave up after the French and right about the time Teddy Roosevelt got involved. Mostly because politicians were just as self-serving and unethical back then as they are now. SO I read the Wikipedia version in about 10 minutes with added emphasis on the engineering marvel of the Culebra Cut and called it a day.

I ‘ ll be blogging more sporadically this time. Not necessarily daily, but certainly when there is something interesting to say.
