My wife Marilyn loves to swim, especially on warm summer days like today. She’s often said how much she enjoys the exercise and the simple pleasure of being out of doors, breathing in the fresh coastal air. Most days she swims at the club but today she was taking care of a friend’s cat in Alexander Valley and the owners offered the use of their pool as an added bonus. I tagged along for the company and since we’ve both been so busy lately, it was nice for us to have some time to catch up with each other and enjoy a little afternoon sun.
While Marilyn kicked her way back and forth across the pool, I lounged under a patio umbrella hiding from the stinging rays of the afternoon sun. While relaxing, I became entranced with the sunlight as it danced on the surface of the water. The delicate, rhythmic motion of light had a calming effect and reminded me once again what life is about.
Dripping wet, Marilyn exited the pool and laid down on the deck to warm up. With my attention now shifted, I drew Marilyn as she soaked up the sun and immortalized her in my sketchbook. It was nice to have a change of scenery for a couple of hours and a pool all to ourselves.
The USGS GNIS placename database was used to make this map. Place names that end in "Hollow" are shown with an orange got, while those ending in "Gulch" get a blue dot.
Clearly, "Gulch" is common in the West and rare in the East. "Hollow", on the other hand, is very common in the Appalachians, Ozarks, Texas, and elsewhere in the East, but is also found in a few western regions—notably Utah and north-central Oregon.

When U.S. Army troops under General Sherman occupied Savannah in December, 1864 the officers drew several maps of the city on the walls of their barracks. They were drawn with pencils. The barracks is now a restaurant and this is the only one of those maps that survives.
One note added to the map.
This web site documents the access sites on the Wabash River from Huntington, Indiana to the confluence with the Ohio River. It includes pictures and descriptions of the access sites and their amenities.
We personally visited the access sites. The first half of the river (from Huntington to Tecumseh) was done by boat. We then drove to the access sites on the second half of the river (from Terre Haute to the confluence with the Ohio).
ABOUT THE WABASH RIVER
The Wabash has always been Indiana's most famous river. Occupying the heartland of the state, the river drains two-thirds of the 92 counties (over 33,000 square miles) as it flows over 475 miles to its confluence with the Ohio below Mount Vernon. The river rises in Ohio near Fort Recovery and flows for only thirty miles before it becomes entirely an Indiana River. In addition to being Indiana's official state river, the Wabash is also the longest free-flowing river east of the Mississippi.
It is a river of many faces and moods. At times it occupies a huge valley which was carved by a glacial runoff but it also flows through a partially filled valley formed before the glacial advances. In its upper stretches the Wabash moves across the fertile, flat land in a narrow, shallow trench.
A trip down any other river in the state will not give as complete a view of Indiana as the Wabash. You will not experience a pristine natural environment (except in isolated sections) but you will see Indiana today and a glimpse of the past. The river is usually muddy and slow moving as it drains much of Indiana's fertile farmland. This factor alone should not deter you from trying the Wabash. The upper end of the Wabash is very shallow with numerous log jams clogging the river and making navigation of the river tiring in all but high water (and then it may be dangerous).

I still remember this April trip down Rt 16 from Rangely, ME to Berlin, NH. I saw 13 moose; this was the scariest of them all - near Errol - but I missed him.

Not much changed here in some ways, except for the major reconstructions in the square bounded by Petty Cury, Corn Exchange Street, St Andrews Street and Downing Street to make way for Lion Yard and the Grand Arcade.
Note also the car park denoted on New Square and the vanished lanes to the north of Fitzroy Street.

Somaliland Minerals Ministry Starts Selling New Oil Blocks « Hargeisa City - Sent Using Google Tool bar.
jun 5, 2008 — somaliland1991
Geological map of Somaliland showing late I980’s block concessions held by the various US oil companies during the Siyad Barre government
Hargeysa, Somaliland, May 31, 2008 (SL Times) – The Somaliland ministry of Water Mineral Resources has started awarding concessions to interested oil companies.
According to the director general of the ministry, Ahmed Ibrahim Suldan, a UK-based Norwegian-owned company called Asante Oil has already purchased rights to a new oil block.
Mr. Suldan disclosed to Jamhuuriya newspaper on Friday that the deal with Asante Oil was negotiated during a recent trip that he and the minister of Water and Minerals Qassim Yusuf, have made to the UK and the USA.
It was only last month when Somaliland president Dahir Riyale Kahin told Reuters that one of his priorities for this year was an auction for oil exploration licenses pending the wrapping up of a data seismic survey by TGS-Nopec, a Norwegian oil service company.
In a subsequent statement issued also in April, the Somaliland ministry of Water and Mineral Resources said that the survey was completed and the data was being processed for an international bid round planned for late 2008.
The data acquired by TGS was not expected to be made available to clients before the third quarter of this year.
However in yesterday’s Jamhuuriya interview, the director general of the MW&MR gave no explanation for what prompted the government to cut a deal with Asante Oil before the release of data survey results except to say that the company was eager to stay one jump ahead of others.
Mr. Suldan said that he hopes drilling for oil in Somaliland will commence by 2009.
He made no mention of the amount of money that Asante Oil agreed to pay for its acquisition in Somaliland.
The granting of concessions for oil and minerals exploration in Somaliland is often done in secrecy.
Only Minister Qassim is allowed to represent the Somaliland side in any negotiations concerning the financial aspects of such deals. All agreements however have to be endorsed by Qassim’s boss, Riyale.
Under Qassim, the MW&MR is known to have signed about a dozen of oil and minerals exploration agreements with foreign firms and individuals. None of these agreements have been submitted to parliament for ratification as required by the Somaliland law.
Both Qassim and Riyale have so far paid no heed to repeated calls by the parliament that the administration should seek ratification for exploration agreements it had concluded with foreign companies.
