Just plain lazy...

Hello dear readers - yes I know, where have I been, what on Earth have I been up to? How could I possibly ignore my audience for all this time? All good questions...that need answers...or we can all save ourselves some time up by saying, I'm lazy, and forgetful.

Anyway, I'm back, at least for the time being... I just a story on the BBC website about a 400 odd year old map, created by Martin Waldseemuller in 1507, which was the first to name America, though after the map mapping business really got into the swing of things, it was largely dismissed as old news and put away in a box. Later discovered by a bored librarian, he sold it to the Library of Congress for a cool $10 million dollars, advertising it as 'America's birth certificate'. Not bad for a bored librarian...
