Ahhh, Ateoroa... the long black cloud... well, suppose to be long white cloud... started with a series of pacific rim earthquakes... like the one that tore appart its..second? largest city, ChristChurch. And the ones in Japan and Indonesia, (where the US president's last passport was issued from)... all these super quakes make a couple islands if they want too. The polynesians settled there to get away from other polynesians, Able Tasman? A dutchman, named it after the Zealand area in the Netherlands. The French were trying to finally colonize a place with good weather- just outside of the Christchurch earthquake center, then the pommies....ah, English, showed up to colonize a place with even better weather, no convicts, but lots of illigitimate children of the royal families... disgusting, so the French left.

Some of the best farmland on the planet made even clueless London cityslickers into-if not wealthy, then relatively comfortable farmers. When I lived there, you couldn't afford to spit on the sidewalk, nothing was even a reasonable price, more sheep than people but mutton was like a tee bone steak anywhere in North America.

I still have a soft spot in my heart for the nutty place, and my old freinds in ChristChurch that are just putting themselves back together, till the next big one.... perhaps new islands in a new place, for another generation to farm in shorts and a tank top... let's hope it is as beautiful- and luckier, than this old one...

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
