Spring in the Midwest

The pictures I took on my recent trip to Wisconsin and St Louis are now available for viewing. There aren't a lot of them. Click here to see them.

I got a lot of new counties in Iowa, and finished touring the counties of Illinois (making it the 27th state completed). I've now been to more than 90% of the counties in the US. Whoopee.

Makes me wonder...

From the BBC:

Uefa has also fined Bayern Munich £2,600 after

their supporters delayed the tie at Arsenal's Emirates

stadium by throwing rolls of paper onto the pitch

in protest over ticket prices.

If they think the ticket prices are unreasonable, why are they at the match in the first place?

I'm just saying...

I came across a quote the other day, said during World War I by

Admiral John Jellicoe, about Prime Minister David Lloyd George:

Jellicoe

Lloyd George

"He gets figures from any source and believes them

if they suit his views."

I suppose if Britain can survive Lloyd George, then we can survive Donald Trump. Hope so, anyway.
