You amped it up and left lots of good things behind for us with “Spinal Tap” and more.

Another reason not to go over the Frontier:
Canadian residents who made a return trip to the US by car dropped 36.9% in July 2025 compared with July 2024, while commercial airline travel from Canada dropped by 25.8% in July compared with the previous year.

Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan
Plan would apply to countries not currently required to get visas to the US, including Britain and France

Your anthropological images were insightful, often humorous in making more serious messages. One of my favourites here, from your time living in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire.

FIFA, what are you playing at? Awarding a Peace Prize for Trump? A penalty kick would be better, or just stick to football.

My visits to explore some of your architectural designs in Seattle, New York and Bilbao were inspiring.
