Heinlein briefly describes in his travelogue and tries to give some sense of just how culturally askew it struck him in the early 1950s; I'd never seen the thing and was curious what it looked like past RAH's eerie description. So, finding it, one of the sites mentioned other, similar structures, first among them the Völkerschlachtdenkmal. It is even more striking to my eye than the South African one (impressive though that one is), especially the interior, and thus the link.<br /><br /> Indianapolis' very own <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Indiana_World_War_Memorial_exterior.jpg" rel="nofollow">World War Memorial</a> is very much on the same theme (though, I think, a somewhat smaller scale) and perhaps that's why these structures interested me.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-19584106192178645222009-09-01T19:45:14.386-04:002009-09-01T19:45:14.386-04:00I hope you feel better soon.

Fever to pressure the bug, pains and exhaustion to get you to lie the hell down. Only the drainage is bug-induced. Not that it makes life any easier to know that...<br /><br />Attach yourself to a water source. It's astounding how fast a good fever can dehydrate you, and that, barring a secondary infection, would be what would really get you into trouble with a flu or flu-like illness.LabRathttp://www.atomicnerds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-32088443795418920162009-09-01T09:31:50.955-04:002009-09-01T09:31:50.955-04:00O.K., I'll ask, what brought you to look at th...O.K., I'll ask, what brought you to look at the Battle of Nations monument?<br /><br />Shootin' BuddyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-83684521004557707302009-09-01T09:07:54.366-04:002009-09-01T09:07:54.366-04:00Get well soon!Get well soon!Tango Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593296126387219845noreply@blogger.com
