Who doesn’t want to go to Tuscany? Watch out for the Raging Bull. Pretty well describes Tuscan Tony’s site but this about an animal. For those who prefer there Tuscan scenery less interactive, here’s another shot.
Hey, what happened to the Dissident Frogman? He was pretty much the only reason France still exists, as far as I’m concerned. Ominously drops off the map 11/20/09 with these words:

Why go visit the world? Margo’s Maid in Australia points out that global warming will bring it to you. Any minute now. And I thought they were just coming for big screen TVs.
What world tour is complete without a stop by Theo’s Norfolk, UK, spud farm. He’s briefly glanced away from the totty and is ennobling his mind with what purport to be Churchill quotes. Great ones.
Chicago. That’s another country, isn’t it? They’re not all corrupt thugs and lefty terrorists. Chicagoboyz have been mulling von Clausewitz – smart Kraut, Waterloo vet — and going to the movies as a political act.
Back in Boston just in time to get taxed. Let’s go to Liveshot’s house, see if there’s a tax shelter.
