January 19, 2009

Regina: Cold or warm the snow conditions are outstanding and folks are out there on their snow machines.

Masstown Nova Scotia: It may be that much of the economic turbulence the economy is undergoing was caused by the security exchange watchdogs losing their grip on things and life goes on.

Tisdale: Essentially all of history and for that matter every bit of archeology is just a variation of following tracks.

Saudi Arabia: This message came in our e-mail today and explains to me why we in a very different culture with our own points of view find the Muslim world a mystery. It is clear from this piece that the Google Translator took much of the text a bit to literally so you have to think about that when you read this through, also check out the editor's note at the bottom of the page that gives some confusing information about the author. One way or another, we need to think about this.
