All very interesting Harvey. I saw a Nat. Geo. special about the ship
breakers in India; so that's where it is. Pretty impressive sight. I wonder
what was going through the minds of the ships' crews as they drove them at
full speed onto that beach. It goes against every instinct, of course.

And I expect that the shoreline around northern Russia is pretty familiar
ground to some analysts around the world (but most especially near
Washington D.C.). All of this is great fodder for a fall day.
