    Funny story today from the weekend. Maybe not for those involved. An old locomotive, coming back into service, after major refitting, broke down. Befitting the state of the country. The name of this once proud product of our nation. Britannia. Think the gods know something.

    I think I have posted about my travels and hotels and restaurants. I always ask to see the chef and trust that he will cook you something fresh without those intolerances we have.
