I enjoyed this link: Maps That Changed the World, from this roundup of cool map links by Jason Kottke over the years. Here’s one that links a series of Wikipedia maps showing the social and political boundaries of the world through the ages.
I like maps.
I don’t like mosquito bites. I have a lot of them and they’re driving me crazy. Summer!
I like having my rooms clean. It’s amazing how much floor space I really have when I tend to clutter it all up with stuff. Just putting things away results in acres of free floor space. It’s quite nice. I am making good progress on the house, except for the front door. I scraped it all up on Saturday morning and then got stalled by a piece of damaged wood. I decided not to paint until I knew what to do about the wood. Hopefully I will get it done this weekend, but I have a lot of photos to process as well. The goal is to work on the door in the morning while it’s still in the shade, and then retreat to the air-conditioned office for the afternoon to work on photos while watching Rome and Breaking Bad (I’m in the middle of both).
Listening to Gogol Bordello lately. Good stuff. I missed their show in St. Louis last weekend, but I just didn’t feel like making the drive or staying overnight again.

The word blathering is just not used enough in this world.
