I have another window open to read their stuff in smaller type doses - so much hate is difficult to stomach at one sitting. On a lighter note:

This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver's license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, or significant other.

DANGEROUS: What's for dinner?
SAFER: Can I help you with dinner?
SAFEST: Where would you like to go for dinner?

DANGEROUS: Are you wearing THAT?
SAFER: Gee, you look good in brown.
SAFEST: Wow! Look at you!

DANGEROUS: What are you SO worked up about?
SAFER: Could we be overreacting?
SAFEST: Here's fifty dollars.

DANGEROUS: Should you be eating that?
SAFER: You know, there are a lot of apples left.
SAFEST: Can I get you a glass of wine with that?
AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE . . . . .

DANGEROUS: What did you DO all day?
SAFER: I hope you didn't overdo it today.
SAFEST: I've always loved you in that robe.

Baiona



The Pinta
We visted Baiona today, the first landfall of the Pinta on the return from America. The caravel was sent by Columbus to tell Ferdinand and Isabella of the discovery of the new land in the West.

Among the thngs that the Pinta brought back from the Americas was the spirochaeta virus "trepoema pallidum" the origin of syphilis. Captain Pinzón was the first victim. It spread from Spain to the rest of Europe and by 1494 almost half the population was infected.

Notice the girl doing the Titanic thing - your AC/e photo journalist caught her in the act.
