I've never heard of the Examiner, it seems like an internet attempt at a online USA Today style news service. It would be nice if they at least got the name right. |

Gentlemen: I just deleted two posts on the merits (and or demerits) of the Baltimore Examiner websites and the Washington Times. This is not a forum for the discussion of newspapers. |

Quote: There's so many attention-grabbing excursions to choose. Take a theme ride such as the Civil War Skirmish Weekend. A passenger will be traveling with soldiers for a 2ΒΌ-hour round-trip ride to the site of a live civil war skirmish. Once onboard, the passenger will have the opportunity of conversing with re-enactors wearing authentic costumes. "A" passenger, "The" passenger!?! Apparently it's a private charter or they have an extremely low ticket sales goal, I'm not sure which. ;) |
