Emporia, Kansas. This was a tough back lit shot. It was such a striking building offering a redundant service and great font. I could not resist taking it.

Okay, billing myself as a culture critic, and being one of the most cynical people you are likely to encounter (just finished watching "Watergate Revisited"), I have to wonder how moronic a people must be to promulgate or be persuaded by such an idiotic offer. Things are not free. Nothing is free. Love, air, tampons, or fireworks. No. Nada. Yet every swinging Richard peddler on every form of media uses this as a comeon. The conclusions I draw from this are not inclining me to believe in human rationality.
Another of the many funny translated safety signs posted at tourist locations throughout China. This sign as posted on at the entrance to the shaky suspended foot bridge at the entrance to the Shibaozhai Pagoda. The pagoda is located on the northern bank of Yangtze River, to the east of Chongqing.
Wilbur signed the summit register on Putrid Pete's Peak, nicknamed P3. We scrambled up 3,020 feet on the steep trail on the ridge seen below on the center right. P3 is named after Pete Schoening, 1927 - 2004, who lived nearby. Pete was a legendary mountaineer who saved six men on K2, the world's second highest mountain by holding their weight on belay.

Godmanchester is on the site of the Roman town of Durovigutum. There is archaeological evidence of Celtic and earlier habitation prior to the establishment of a key Roman town and a mansio (inn), so the area has probably been continuously occupied for more than 2,000 years. The settlement was at a crossroads of Roman roads Ermine Street, the Via Devana (from Cambridge, between Colchester and Chester) and a military road from Sandy, Bedfordshire. The Roman settlement was sacked by Anglo-Saxons in the third century. In contrast to Huntingdon, archaeological finds have been extensive in the centre of Godmanchester, which has two conservation areas of early recognition,[4] including many timber-framed Tudor houses, the largest being Tudor Farm, dating from 1600 and restored in 1995.
The Roman castra is mentioned in Godmanchester's name, which comes from Anglo-Saxon Godmundceaster, referring to a Roman fortified place or army camp of/belonging to Godmund, a typically Saxon name. The location is likely to have been originally settled due to the gravel beds providing a ford across the River Great Ouse.
The place was listed as Godmundcestre in the Domesday Book of 1086 in the Hundred of Leightonstone in Huntingdonshire.[5] The survey records that there were 26 ploughlands, with capacity for a further 31 and, in addition to the arable land, there were 160 acres (65 hectares) of meadows, 50 acres (20 hectares) of woodland and three water mills, a church and a priest.[6]
Godmanchester was the first chartered by King John in 1212, though it had been a market town and royal manor for some years. King James granted a second Royal Charter in 1604. From Wikipedia
