Slate is part of my morning coffee drinking ritual. The have a great section called "Ask the Explainer" that explains how to do things that are in the current news.
I asked the question that got answered today. It makes me more excited than it should really. You can read it here and even see my name in print. So now we all know how to get to Gitmo!

Christmas with the turkeys
As neither of us had much vacation, we spent Christmas in Sacramento. We did head out for a couple of cold nights camping in Pinnacles National Monument about 3 hrs south of Sacto. The park was beautiful and we did a great hike through the pinnacles and ended up in some caves full of bats. All very cool. We were also woken on Christmas morning by a chorus of wild turkeys celebrating the passing of another festive season.
In case you were wondering, a National Monument is declared by a President vs a National Park that is declared by act of Congress.
