Fortnum & Mason Department Store and "the Map that Changed the World."
Cheers,
I’m pooped! My nephew Andrew arrived on Friday and we’ve walked miles and miles since then. His interests are design, crafts, and architecture so we’ve looked at London a bit differently than we normally do. Just …

Temps appeared to be ok, 0 deg C. But man was it damp. I was there for about half an hour and my poor ole’ knees started to ache!I wanted to test out some ammo that I have. Three different kinds. I had had some issues with the Winchester X-22 ammo not …
Beowulf IV and the Early C-Cat Foil Development
It is a gray, overcast, depressing afternoon – something for which residence in the US Southwest does not prepare its citizens. Since we have received a request for info on Beowulf IV from a journalist doing a book for the next “Little America’s Cup”, the scanner has been warmed up and we thought we’d share […]
