I watched a Secrets of the Dead show on public television last night (you can watch the whole thing "Sinking Atlantis" at: video dot pbs dot org slash video slash 1204753806) and although some interesting points were made I was disappointed in the generally irresponsible thesis that the eruption of the Thera volcano caused the destruction of Minoan civilization (with a not-so-friendly assist from the Achaean Greeks). For reasons which I'll go into in my next post this just isn't correct but my attention was caught by something else.

I have to give vent to an un-American thought.

Ever want to give back when traveling in the world of need? Love to take photos?

Florida Culture: Week of May 9, 2011 by Josh Garrick

“Florida ART” at the Mennello Museum

Ever want to give back when traveling in the world of need? Love to take photos? Then join Dog Meets World, the photo diplomacy project and help connect cultures through the power of photography. The ambitious mission of Dog Meets World  (DMW) is to give all children/families in developing countries personal photographs, often for the first time. DMW seeks to change the way people see others and rather than simply taking pictures, to give them as well.
