Hail, Christopher Columbus

We don't want to allow Columbus Day to go by unremarked. COTTonLINE tips its hat to the intrepid explorer and navigator Samuel Eliot Morison memorialized in Admiral of the Ocean Sea: A Life of Christopher Columbus.

I, for one, am damned glad old Chris made the crossing. I've visited Europe repeatedly and, while it's pleasant enough to visit, I wouldn't want to call it home.

The niceness of the U.S. is a thought I revisit every time I return after an extended visit abroad -  twice this very summer. The other DrC says much the same.
