I did a search for the internet time machine - located here and I found this page on lockergnome. I probably wouldn't have thought much about it, but look at this ad.

Point Lookout State Park

Point Lookout State Park

"Point Lookout is a peninsula formed by the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River. It attracted attention from the outset of English colonization in America. Captain John Smith explored the Point in 1612. In 1632 it was included in King Charles I's grant to George Calvert, Lord Baltimore. Calvert's younger son, Leonard, Maryland's first governor, claimed the Point for his personal manor in 1634. During the American Revolution, and again in the War of 1812, it was the subject of British raids, and served as an American lookout point for a watchman to convey, via post riders, news of British Fleet activity in the lower Bay.

In 1830 the federal government erected a lighthouse on the tip of the Point. This lighthouse, though modified, is still in existence though it is no longer active. In 1857, William Cost Johnson, a wealthy Marylander, bought much of the land on the Point to develop as a resort. The Civil War intervened to disrupt Johnson's plan and in 1862, following General George B. McClellan's unsuccessful campaign to capture Richmond, the federal government erected Hammond Hospital at the tip of the Point. The ward buildings radiated in spoke fashion from a central bay. Wounded and sick soldiers began pouring in for treatment."

Class is over

My class is over, and we have gone into the first summer session. Since I wasn't officially registered for the class, I won't get credit for it or a grade unless the instructor does some magic with the registrar's office. I am registered to take Computer Imaging in the fall, so we'll see how it goes. (Just in case, I have saved the paper I was given when I registered.)

I am still taking online classes with the following yahooo groups:

1. Winni-Lessons group on yahoo. (http://winni.madness-inc-too.com/)
2. Digital Scrapbook lessons with Marank (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Digital-Scrap-with-Marank/)

I'm also doing different tutorials relating to Paintshop Pro, Paintshop Pro scripting, and Incredimail.

About Johnny Clegg

Johnny Clegg is a musician from South Africa. Even though I have never met him, he has influenced me greatly. He is called "Zoulou Blanc" (which means "White Zulu") in France. Johnny's music is a mixture of Zulu street music and Celtic folk music. His original band, Juluka (Zulu meaning "sweat" which was the name of Siphu's favorite cow), was a partnership between Johnny and Siphu Mchunu.

In an attempt to understand the culture and the language Johnny sang about, I looked for many ways to learn Zulu. I have many many Zulu dictionaries and grammar books around here. In the process of trying to learn Zulu, I learned Swahili, which is another Bantu language in Africa. Zulu and Swahili share similar grammar structure and have some common words.

In case Johnny reads this... Ngiyabonga kakhulu umfowetu! Asante sana ndugu!
