All Things History: January 2009
http://allthingshistorical.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 12, 2009. The sinking of the Titanic and its later discovery was the most important maritime discovery of the 20th century. That discovery will continue to make history and awe thousands, if not millions of people. But the 21st century must find its own place in history, and it amy have done so in the past week with a discovery that is to science what the Titanic was to popular culture. Links to this post.

All Things History: October 2008
http://allthingshistorical.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2008. Archealogical Discovery in Israel. The text has yet to be deciphered but contain Hebrew root words of "judge", "slave", and "king", indicating that the pottery may have served as a legal document. Although I am not a biblical or Middle Eastern historian, I find this discovery interesting. I believe we have much to learn from this excavation and I am anxious to see what else the Hebrew University archealogists find at this site. Links to this post. Thursday, October 30, 2008.

Lights Along the Coast. A weekly blog about all things lighthouses. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Cleveland East Breakwater Light. On Sunday, Lori and I drove to the Cleveland area for a work related conference. We decided while we were in the area, we should check out some of the Cleveland Lighthouses. We had seen the Cleveland Lighthouses about 9 years ago on a trip back from Chicago to Morgantown, but it was pretty hazy on that particular day and we did not get a good view of the lighthouses. In addition...
