RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 12/02/18> My thoughts and a quote from J. Edgar Hoover.
When I read this news on BBC Online my first thought was "About time!" This was followed by a slight feeling of guilt, because I thought "In America they'll be mourning..." Ahahahaha!! This comment:
He gives excrement a sweet smell. Kind of like candy apples by comparison. I literally cheered when I read the headlines last night.
...just shows me how wrong I was.
Whenever I think about "Daddy Bush" I remember the horrific photos from the first Gulf War of Iraqi soldiers who had been burned alive in their tanks while surrendering. Papa Bush gave the orders for that.
And yes, there are some big questions around Antarctica.
There may be some that will be mourning him but it won't be me or @enchantedspirit as you can gather from what you read.
Any guesses on your part about Antarctica and why it is off limits to the entire world, except a few scientists?
I really don't know. I don't want to make a wild speculative theory - it could just be about claiming potential mineral wealth. But there does seem to be some mystery about this region. There's a post on this that I've been meaning to write for ages. I'll try to write it this week. Not sure exactly when, as I'm just about to leave on one of my 2-day mountain jaunts. And I've got a really full-on week after that, but I'll put it on my to-do list!
I wish you well on the mountain, be safe and have fun. I'll keep an eye out for that post when you get to it.
