For those who don't know, I'm off to foreign lands later today. Hopefully I will see Bezzy, along with many other British things of a more-work-related nature. However, I believe I will continue to have access to the web. So those who need to can contact me via email. Or you can keep an eye on OD, where I hope to post commentary and pictures as the week progresses.

Looking at the picture of the Union Jack, it occurs to me for the first time that the American practice of hanging the flag upside-down as a distress signal would be rather ineffective in the UK, as well as many other foreign nations. Never really thought of that before.

Now, home to pack. Talk to you soon, I hope.
