I just can't forget about Kerry going to the Antarctic base on election night. Who is the world knows what is going on.
I don't forget these things. Sometimes I just ponder and ponder.

Here's Olaf ...
"I remember hearing my father remark that the giant race of
people in the land of "The Smoky God" had almost as accurate an idea
of the geography of the "outside" surface of the earth as had the
average college professor in Stockholm." Olaf (below)
PART FOUR: IN THE UNDER WORLD We learned that the males do not marry
before they are from seventy-five to one hundred years old, and that
the age at which women enter wedlock is only a little less, and that
both men and women frequently live to be from six to eight hundred
years old, and in some instances much older[Footnote]. [Footnote
begin, Italic] Josephus says: "God prolonged the life of the
patriarchs that preceded the deluge, both on account of their virues
and to give them the opportunity of perfecting the sciences of
geometry and astronomy, which they had discovered; which they could
not have done if they had not lived 600 years, because it is only
after the lapse of 600 years that the great year accomplished." -
Flammarion, Astronomical Myths, Paris p. 26 [Footnote end, No Italic]
During the following year we visited many villages and towns,
prominent among them being the cities of Nigi, Delfi, Hectea, and my
father was called upon no less than a half-dozen times to go over the
maps which had been made from the rough sketches he had originally
given of the divisions of land and water on the "outside" surface of
the earth. I remember hearing my father remark that the giant race of
people in the land of "The Smoky God" had almost as accurate an idea
of the geography of the "outside" surface of the earth as had the
average college professor in Stockholm. In our travels we came to a
forest of gigantic trees, near the city of Delfi. Had the Bible said
there were trees towering over three hundred feet in height, and more
than thirty feet in diameter, growing in the Garden of Eden, the
Ingersolls, the Tom Paines and Voltaires would doubtless have
pronounced the statement a myth. Yet this is the description of
California sequoia gigantea; but these California giants pale into
insignificance when compared with the forest Goliaths found in
the "within" continent, where abound mighty trees from eight hundred
to one thousand feed in height, and from one hundred to one hundred
and twenty feet in diameter; countless in numbers and forming forests
extending hundreds of miles back from the sea. The people are
exceedingly musical, and learned to a remarkable degree in their arts
and sciences, especially geometry and astronomy. Their cities are
equipped with vast palaces of music, where not infrequently as many
as twenty-five thousand lusty voices of this giant race swell forth
in mighty choruses of the most sublime symphonies. The children are
not supposed to attend institutions of learning before they are
twenty years old. Then their school life begins and continues for
thirty years, ten of which are uniformly devoted by both sexes to
study of music. Their principal vocations are architecture,
agricaluture, horticulture, the raising of vast herds of cattle, and
the building of conveyances peculiar to that country, for travel on
land and water. By some device which I cannot explain, they hold
communion with one another between the most distant parts of their
country, on air currents. All buildings are erected with special
regard to strength, durability, beauty and symmetry, and with a style
of architecture vastly more attractive to the eye than any I have
ever observed elsewhere. About three-fourth of the "inner" surface of
the earth is land and about one-fourth water. There are numerous
rivers of tremendous size, some flowing in a northerly direction and
others southerly. Some of these rivers are thirty miles in width, and
it is out of these vast waterways, at the extreme northern and
southern parts of the "inside" surface of the earth, in regions where
low temperatures are experienced, that freshwater iceberg are formed.
They are then pushed out to sea like huge tongues of ice, by the
abnormal freshets of turbulent waters that, twice every year, sweep
everything before them.
