Man thats a sensational choice  Very tough to argue with antiquitythe Ancients


this morning his sister called from Illinois

she and her husband were readying for a trip to Norway part of a two-week cruise that went to Nordkapp(brilliant name) inside the Arctic Circle

the impetus for their visit was to see Jøkelfjordbreen the only European glacier(while there were still glaciers) that calved into the sea

Things arent more primal or sacred than glaciersdont you think she mused
