We toured Italy for our honeymoon. My travel agent (that tells you it was a while ago) recommended Bolanzo, which was a great suggestion. While there we walked by the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology .. with Ötzi on display! I jumped at the chance to see him.

Yeah, that Slow Mo Guys one put me off getting a tattoo due to the depth. Glad to know the real one isn't so deep. The Smarter Every Day one wasn't as bad to squeamish ole me.

Here's the recipe and full/uncropped source image for Ham Buffet Mold, from "Famous Brands Meat Cookbook - Volume 4", Brand Name Publishing Corp, 1985. The recipe is identical to the one in the 1969 "Campbell's Great Restaurants Cookbook, U.S.A", though updated to specify 'Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup' instead of merely 'condensed tomato soup'.
I love archive.org!

I tried Miami, because I'm from one and have visited a few others. It said that in Santa Fe County, "Miami" probably meant "Miami, NM". Having lived in Santa Fe County, I know "Miami" by default means the one in Florida.I also tried Springfield, because Simpsons. I didn't know there was one in Florida. It says that people in Leon County (another place I lived) would likely know about it over the ones in the Midwest.Still, it's pretty good given the simple model used.

It was an era when Courage and Character were more important than training and preparation.
When I moved to Sweden, one of my Swedish classes covered Örnen and Andrée's expedition. It's how I learned the Swedish word for trichinosis - "trikinos".

Same here. My iPod died (baby drool was not good for it) several years after Apple stopped selling them. I got a cheap one that wasn't that good. Turns out I really like being able to re-start podcasts and books part-way through. Now I'm curious about the Sony NW-E394...

I did the sleeper train last fall from Berlin to Malmö. I didn't sleep that well, with the stop&go motion. I was in a 6-bed couchette and others in the room both got on and left while I tried to sleep. We had a stop at the Danish border at 2am to allow a passport check. The route itself was only recently restarted, and they were using 20-year-old stock. Then again, that same route was a lot easier when I first did it 15 years ago in my late 30s.
The big plus for me is I don't live near an airport. The flight connections to get home meant I would have had to leave Berlin in the mid-afternoon (cutting my event short) or stay an extra night in Berlin.
I really want the Brussels-Malmö overnight train. Currently getting to the Low Countries by train requires an overnight hotel in Hamburg. But as the link points out, it's not profitable enough to deal with the red-tape headaches.
7 years ago my wife and I did San Diego-ABQ by Amtrak, via L.A. With only two people in a room and longer trip (and no passport control) it was more pleasant.

First time I saw them was a kid, visiting somewhere in Michigan where a steep hill met the lake. From what I gather they aren't that uncommon. I was able to find several US providers pretty easily.
