Well, we’re not the USA. And what we truly need is some Bahamian history. Nevertheless, here are some links that I thought might be interesting reading for the month:

February 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment
If you’ve been looking at old posts, you’ll notice some weird characters in them. They’re annoying — to me and to you — and I didn’t put them there. They appeared after the server move. More information about them is here:
