Drove from CT to NJ yesterday, and the day before that I just finished 1776 by David McCullough. Great read. So interesting to hear the specifics of what happened in that fateful year. It's almost hard to believe that those insane events occurred on the hills and bluffs and rivers and roads of these immediate lands. I felt a powerful connection to the birth of this country as we drove over the Tappan Zee Bridge over the wide, wide Hudson. If you enjoy history in the least, check it out!

found and admired: A nutty intersection in India. Watch for the pedestrian trapped b/t scooter and car on the right side, and the white car that drives the wrong way on the top street. And here are some maps of the religious demographics of the US.
