Guesses for new set:
1. pimple
2. dunno
3. Sinai, have been there. We outran the Somali pirates and entered the Red Sea and then went through the Suez Canal, a quite thrilling Journey, which I think I recounted here at the time.
4. dunno, and too late to think about it, Bigdog asleep for hours. We are in the 4th time zone here in Alaska, however, so it is only 11:30 pm and not yet July 6.
5. 8 pm, no idea
6. Paul Simon
7. Argentina
8. London
9. maiden
10. Galapagos tortoise, not turtle. Some of them can live to be 200 years old. They are huge, and are barely out of childhood, not yet mating age, only dinner plate size at 25 years old. Just fascinating animals. We have been there, of course, maybe in 2019, a true trip of a lifetime.

LOL, Under the Sea was a hit song from The Little Mermaid.
I don't think of Bobby Darin as a crooner, but apparently he was old enough to be popular at the end of the crooner era. Huh!
