Ah, Columbus Day...

If you want to encounter some extreme intellectual firepower, head over to Yahoo Answers and check out the questions about Columbus. Plenty of haters over there... Good guy or bad, Columbus started the ball rolling on the eventual conquest of indigenous people that made our quality of life what it is today! It is what it is, so the haters will just have to get over it...

On a much lighter note, my next 'adventure' occurs this month: I'm riding my motorcycle down to Pensacola Florida to go scuba diving on the site of the USS Oriskany, the now-sunken aircraft carrier of John McCain fame... the flight deck is at 135 feet, and the top of the tower is at 70. Can't wait for this one!

On the way back, my friends and I will stay at the 29 Dreams Motorcycle Resort near Birmingham, Alabama. It's motorcycles only, so it should be cool.

Columbus Day . . . Columbus Day . . .

Is that when Christopher Columbus comes and hides eggs in your yard?
