In a more serious vein, I watched a fine PBS program about the discovery and identification of "Blackbeard's" flagship "Queen Anne's Revenge" yesterday, and it made me think of Rich (I know he was interested in the lore of Blackbeard). Come to think of it, then today a member posted a photo of Tropico with his swivel guns, this could be a good omen for him.
