I live in a wonderful part of the world, filled with neat places and things. But, how about the rest of the world? What do they have that would be listed as special?

It might be fun to think that I knew where my big repair plan was going; delusional, but fun. Today, after a number of false leads, I recovered my bookmarks and passwords from Firefox.
