Travel is one of my personal joys.  Joy to discover. Joy to experience.  Joy in appreciation of many things natural or man made.  Here are some glimpses from our various continents.  Enjoy.

There is a trend for media outlets to publish some nonsense that might sell their less than worthy content.  To that end they take some high flyer (who may or may not be one but they think so) and decide to publish a list of books that he or she recommends (that they may or may not have read or recommended) in hopes that their subsidiary business who published those books might also thrive. I decided to imagine what the local homeless would recommend if I asked them to do so for their less erudite but abode occupying brethren. Here is a best five list - Lost and found - the complete guide to the idea that finders keepers. How to make the most of nothing - Not having a home is a boat load of work not required. Inventive scamming - how to come up with weird and wacky signs to earn a lazy day's income.

It could be your mother or it could be a bunch of people driving a truck with lights on.   Your parents always want you to come first.  In races whether of the rat kind or grass kind. If you want the best experience when traveling you try to go First Class.  As in ahead of all available choices of comfort.  First. Then there is this whole idea of being a First Lady.  As in the female spouse of the most important man in the country aka the President.  El Presidente himself.  POTUS if it is America. Personally I think its all bogus.  But hey what I think does not matter.  It is for the readership to decide.  Now we here in the USA have ourselves a possibility that for the first time a lady will be President. ...
