Mom got #285! She's 3 for 3!

I'm headed back to 1875. We can't skip 66 years of "history!" Before we leave, though, please take a moment to remember the 3,500 Americans killed or wounded at Pearl Harbor--it wasn't just a movie. See you all tomorrow.

275. Hawaii, 7 December 1941

Mom & Scribe got #274!

Last night a freak magnetic storm arose and threw me off course. Instead of the Sudan in 1875, I found myself in the Pacific in 1941! You can see the remnants of the storm in this picture. You can also see the outline of a nuclear aircraft carrier--it's as out of place here as I am. I suspect it got sucked in by the same storm and dropped off here. We're going back to 1875 tomorrow, but since we're here, we might as well look around.
