Friday, we finally received our long-anticipated post card from our world traveler. It bore the image of one distant land's most famous edifice, possibly the most recognizable in the world. It took quite a while to get here, almost as long as those two checks which disappeared after we sent them to institutions right here in America.

Perfunctory research surprised me when it revealed that the aforementioned popular tourist destination was constructed several hundred years later than I had always imagined. So much of that new stuff, such as the Eiffel Tower and MTV, can be really ugly.
