| Utah [?!] State Bird,
California Gull - Go figure. |
| Okay, WHY the California seagull is the Utah state bird. From,
of all places, the
Des Moines Register editorial page. Gulls to the rescue!
Go Granny, go Granny, go Granny, go. Gulls as heroes. |

RMS Queen Mary - from
Monsters of the Sea: The Great Ocean
Liners of Time - this site shows the Queen in her wartime gray
camouflage (FWIW, my uncle was one of the many, many American troops QM
transported during WWII. This uncle served in an Army tank corps in, I
assume, Europe? The QM was nicknamed "The Grey Ghost" during her role
as WWII troop transport.). |

Queen Mary - Visiting Queen Mary - History |
| Not a link, just a couple of factoids: The old Queen Mary was just as
fast (up to 35 knots) as the new Queen Mary 2. The old Queen Mary is
rumored to be haunted. The old QM is a nice place to stay - I've spent
a night in one of her first-class cabins. (No, it wasn't scary; no, I
didn't see any ghosts.) Also, if you're at all into Art Deco, visit
this ship. |
