At any rate, Kurlansky has again proved salt's importance in history. Unfortunately, this chapter seemed to focus more on salt, its uses, and the politics involved. Hopefully the next few chapters are more history-related. I can't wait to read about salt's salad days...
Its amazing how he can link one thing to another. I'd hate to argue with him. If he changes the way I look at salt completely, I don't know what I'll do. I...just don't.
CAMELS ARE FROM NORTH AMERICA?! You learn something new every day!
I think I'll put a nifty pictar here...

Mang i thought the same thing about this section being a bit less focused on history. Thats kind of why I had a hard time staying focused too.
And the camels being from North America was pretty much the coolest thing I've ever read.
My verification code is nesteliz. WE SHOULD PROBABLY TELL EACH OTHER OUR CODES EVERYTIME WE COMMENT EACH OTHER JUST FOR SAFETY MEASURES YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN WE MAY NEED TO VERIFY EACH OTHER.
wait...

..wut?
A Trance? I expect an honor's student to stay on task and be focused despite a few tangents or threads. Egypt, as we studied came to depend heavily upon salt. As you say, food & bodies. Both food and bodies rot over time because they are organic.
Cool camel pic, and yeah I didn't know they were from N.America either until Mr. K told me. Posts could be a litle longer?
