November 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Going barefoot through security at the airport is not only disgusting but can be dangerous for your health. Find out why in this amusing, but deadly serious article.

I was returning this morning from Ft. Lauderdale and going through security with a few hundred other sun-kissed travelers when it hit me that most people were actually BAREFOOT going through the security line. I had my trusty socks on, but the majority of people were barefoot on carpeting that probably saw at least several thousand stinky sweaty feet a day. Disgusting!

At the bottom of my garden, which lies in the Axarquia region of Andalusia, is a track that leads to Lake Vinuela. At the side of this track is an Olive tree that must be hundreds of years old. Its trunk, gnarled and twisted like an old mooring rope appears to be growing out of a huge rock. If this tree could talk, it would entertain you for hours. It was there long before the man-made lake appeared, and I suspect it will still be there when I have left this mortal coil.

It was the Phoenicians who introduced Sherry to the Iberian Peninsula, and the Romans were only too happy to carry on the tradition. Even the Moors, who generally abstained from alcohol, used it for medicinal purposes, but when Francis Drake attacked Cadiz in 1587 and returned to England with 3000 barrels, the tipple became an instant favourite with Queen Elizabeth 1 and the English Court, beginning a British love affair with the drink.
