Getting ready for a repeat trip through the Panama Canal. I recommend it for anyone who appreciates American and World History. It is always mind boggling to realize it was built in 1915 and still works pretty well today. Another Canal is in the process of being constructed. Hopefully, we can see how far it is progressing. Make sure you do it some day.
- Who was the US President when the Canal was originally started?
- A town at the tip of Cape Horn had constant traffic on a daily basis before the canal was built and very little after. What is the name of that town?
- In which South American country is the town located?
- Enough Canal talk. The Giants and A’s made the playoffs this year, which is great. When was the last time they both did it?
- Jonah Hill played a fictitious assistant general manager in “Moneyball.” What was his fictitious name?
- Who was the A’s owner mentioned a couple times in the movie?
