had an opportunity to visit Stonehenge and walk the surrounding plain. It was a fascinating and at the same time very foreboding experience for me. It may have been the gray, overcast December sky and cold winds blowing over the barren plain at the time of my visit, but I still remember the eeriness and sense of dread all about the place. In the pop culture vernacular of today, it was apparent the place had "unresolved issues”. Even when I walked away from my traveling companion on a solitary stroll around the stones, I felt something or someone was near me. It was a very strange, unsettling place for me and I’m not eager to return there.

I had almost the identical experience, including the weather. I just felt that there was something ... wrong ... about that place. I don't know whether to credit it to preconceptions or power of suggestion or something extra-ordinary. But I left there thinking it was one of the most troubled spots on earth ... like it was near Hell's front porch or something.

I heard it was the first futures exchange.

Maybe it's where the Dems held their first convention.

MORE MORE!

The four of you have spiked my interest. (to understate.)
Excellent writing by the way.

I would love to hear more and if any others have made the visit- please divulge!
