Reap What You Sow

Free State Mover #1: Back to England



Despite my fears, the Free State Mover #1 geocoin I dropped off in Bristol last September was not lost in Wales. After a three month stay in a cache there, it moved across the border to a cache in England. Still no progress towards Maryland, but it's better than being lost.

By coincidence, Christina and I were about 10 miles away in 2006, so I have some idea what the area's like.

At least this time Bush isn't exploiting 9/11 for political purposes...

"Even the 9/11 angel memorial on Crawford’s Main road is dressed up for the wedding party. The Steel cut-out has a wedding veil on top and a bouquet of flowers."

Christina and I independently saw coverage of this on CNN and were amazed both at the tastelessness of this, and how it was presented as part of a, "gosh, aren't the wedding preparations cute?" What, there was no Holocaust memorial handy to put a tux on?



Clearly, no one in the Bush family was directly responsible for this decoration. Just as clearly, no one had the decency or respect for the dead to get it taken down.
