- Standing broadside at the chalky escarpment, the stone screamed "Tomb!" to us, though there is no evidence of anything else to justify our assertion. It just felt 'tomby' on account of it being big and longer than it is tall. |

- I think this is going to by my final entry of 2003. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the ~2500 (at last count) of you who clicked, re-clicked and clicked again on the Epicenter since I started it up in earnest this past June. I can't even begin to tell you all what an incredible year this has been for me. Working on developing and publishing this site, as trivial as it may seem to most of you, has been an amazingly fun and eye opening (and possibly lucrative...but more on that in the New Year) opportunity for me. |

- Like a rock 'n roll star, the chamber perches on top of the edge of a ridge, so that its stones look for all the world like some Freddie Mercury figure, arms aloft, allowing itself to bask in the glory of its adoring fans. Climb the steps to the left and rise up behind the 'stage' to see the pattern of placement of the kerbstones marking out the depth of the longbarrow. And look over the Freddie Mercury chamber and you see that the the rolling fields of Kent are the audience. A ranch style fence indicates ... |

- Once mistaken for two monuments - bit of a burial chamber one side, bit of a stone circle the other, a road was driven through the middle in the 19th century. Only it isn't two monuments. At one end is a burial chamber, for sure, but what was once mistaken for a stone circle is in fact the kerbstones of a beautiful long barrow. Joan lovingly preserves it and proudly told us that, thanks to her guadianship, 47 different species of wild plant grow there now. She has had it designated as a nature reserve. |

- This great monument of enormous megaliths comprises what is left of a whopping burial chamber, aligned, Joan thought, on the winter solstice. Carefully selected, shaped sarsens stand in a line 10 to 15 metres across making up the portal stones and main interior chamber which is all that is left now, but these are incredibly impressive. It remined me of Pentre Ifan, but without the cuttlefish topping. I liked the glistening of them in the drizzly rain and the way the peppermint-green lichens shone out of ... |

- All this girl wants is a career in the porn industry, and the Lincoln, Nebraska, police just won't let her have it. Granted, she's posing need in public places in Lincoln (keep and eye out for her, Gregg), which is why she's getting in trouble. Needless to say, her Web site (not even remotely safe for work) is getting a pile of traffic because of all the media attention she's getting. If she was having trouble getting exposure before, she's undoubtedly getting it now. |
