Mom's going to Turkey in November.

I'll just reiterate my usual advice, which she knows well: flash the green passport, not the blue one. And if you stub your toe, make sure to cuss in Portuguese, not English.

Me? Well, I'm still broke, but G installed Google Earth on my computer this weekend! I am consumed by travel fever. Google Earth is exactly to real travel as cybersex is to real sex.

The Russians did as much as we did to stop Hitler, but that didn't mean Stalin was an OK guy.

Good parallel! And I generally hate people who pretend there are "good" states and "bad" states and moreover, as if that wasn't bad enough, take whatever arbitrary criteria they have for that view as a given historical constant. *eyeroll*
