Everything Cheeseburger -- i.e. stuff
A collection of stuff we like.� The strange name of this page is inspired by the lyrics of a Lyle Lovett song, below, which Lisa played me one day�
�PLEASE, MAKE IT A CHEEEEEEESEBURGER�
Lyle Lovett�s Here I am.� Lisa discovered it December 29th while
driving home from work � she and I just love his jocular lyrics!
Safe Workouts
When I work out at my gym
or at the local highschool track, I wear my RoadID.� Thank you Lisa for the great gift � and piece
of mind!� My band is red, our favorite
color!
regular entertainment
�The brainchild of one Garrison Keillor -- who
Lisa knew in her days in public radio in Minneapolis � the radio show A Prairie Home Companion is my
favorite (and only) regular radio entertainment show, every Saturday at 5:00 o�clock
on WBEZ in Chicago.
About Campione D�ITALIA
Campione has many unique features
� An Italian town marooned within the edge of Switzerland.
� Lack of typical international borders checks
� Use of Swiss currency, stampage, and other quirks
� Tax-free haven
� Site of the largest Casino in Europe (visible above � it replaced a more modest-sized one along the lakeshore)
� A town naturally kept small by its perch between Lake Lugano and the steep mountainside of Mt. Sighignola.
� The only (unfinished) mountain funiculare that would have crossed international borders TWICE (discussion and pictures, in Italian)
� One of its residents has been implicated in funding activities tied to 9-11
� Site of pre-WWII Fascist/Communist intrigue.� A communist assassin during Mussolini�s reign fled from Italy to Lugano, across the lake in Switzerland.� Italian authorities caught up with him by sending a seductress-spy to court him and and lure him, one casual day, across the �borderless border� to Campione, where he was summarily arrested.�� And then hung!
� At one time it hosted perhaps the most radio stations and television stations per capita in the world
