    At 160 miles driving range from Orlando, I cannot get out of Florida.

    I'd be a couple of miles short of George heading north, and only 2/3 to Miami heading south. Heading due east or west, I am rather wet.

    I've been to London, but I haven't been to Berlin yet.

    Is that outrageous?

    Not status as capital, but as cultural and commercial hub.

    I've been to Berlin. To be honest, there doesn't seem to be much there that can't be found in neighboring cities. London, on the other hand...

    It used to have the Tacheles which was quite unique.

    Not at all. London is hallway between Dallas and Shreveport while Berlin is just west of San Antonio. That's a pretty fair distance even by Texas standards.

    All roads lead to London. Even the ones in Germany.

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
