True, true, Guest of 12:58 a.m., true, true, true.

Who CARES about the Giant's Causeway, the Great Glen, the Alps, the Lake at Lucerne, the Fjords, the Steppes, Everest, the Burren, Fuji, the Pacific Deeps? Of what interest is Victoria Falls or Kilamanjaro or South Island? Damn right! Let's just stay home, watch the Cubs on TV, and drink Budweiser. Like I once said about the Atlantic, "Looks just like Lake Michigan. You can't see the other side of THAT, either."

Or were you engaging in irony? I was. And you know what? My passport is still good, even though it's been a whole year since I last used it!

As for traveling, gee, Guest, I've missed out on visiting Oklahoma, Arkansas and Hawaii in the US. In Canada I've missed Nunavit, Labrador, Newfoundland, PEI. Haven't been South Of The Border at all. Golly dang, how're YOU doing?
