The discussion of the Crusades is interesting to read, but not interesting enough for me to comment on.  Sorry, guys.  And when topics such as the Swedish Bikini Team and Cecil B. DeMille get thrown in the mix I tend to dismiss the whole thing as fanciful gibberish.

It almost seemed as if Uncle Ken was disappointed in Sweden's lack of military aggression, an odd sentiment from such a peacenik.  But have faith!  Sweden has reintroduced conscription, is increasing its military spending, and is preparing instructions for its citizens on what to do when the Russians invade.

Blue ice is not something I was aware of in nature, but it's something that shows up near the big bridge to the Upper Peninsula.  Have the Beagles clan seen it this year?  Blue Ice
