Thanks Ian.  I recompiled without the moronIst build though.  It just wasn't
working.  I'm JC 2.0b now.

Two years later I went back to Pt. Reyes in a camper van, with my new wife.
 I think we'd been married a total of 2 days.   I pulled in late to the
light house and parked under a no-camping sign and spent the night.  Next
morning the ranger came by and gave me a ticket.  The ticket cost me $20.
 Camping in an official campground was $15.

But it did upset Lu at the time.  She's always been a law abiding person,
but slowly over the years she'd adapted.

Yeah, me too.  I looked up Sir Francis in wikipedia and found out something
I didn't know...


What is certain of the extent of Drake's claim and territorial challenge to
the Papacy and the Spanish crown is that his port was founded*somewhere* north
of Point Loma; that all contemporary maps label all lands above the Kingdoms
of New Spain and New Mexico as "*Nova Albion*", and that all colonial claims
made from the East Coast in the 1600s were "From Sea to Sea". The colonial
claims were established with full knowledge of Drake's claims, which they
reinforced, and remained valid in the minds of the English colonists on the
Atlantic coast when those colonies became free states. Maps made soon after
would have "*Nova Albion*" written above the entire northern frontier of New
Spain. These territorial claims became important during the negotiations
that ended the Mexican–American
War<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican%E2%80%93American_War> between
the United States and Mexico.

See, if it hadn't been for Sir Frank, I might be speaking spanish!
