Me mum's off on vaca, and I get to go over to her house this weekend and see if the verge needs trimming...and not a Gamgee in sight! :( Oh well, good excuse for a road trip.

Bit of trivia from the History Channel last eve: The first shot fired by an American combatant at a German combatant in WWI was fired...on Guam.

Guam.

I dig on stuff like that...

Ah - well then take some pics!

So - how did the Guam thing work?

We have an interesting historical place here where there was almost a shooting war started between us and the British over a pig... The Pig War: How a pig almost changed American history
