In the hot sun of summer, the water of Spotted Lake (located in British Columbia and Washington) evaporates and crystallizes the minerals , forming many white-rimmed circles: shallow pools that reflect the mineral content of the water in shades of blues and greens. It contains one of the worlds highest concentrations of minerals: magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts), calcium and sodium sulphates, plus eight other minerals and traces of four more, including silver and titanium. The Indians soaked away aches and ailments in the healing mud and waters. One story cites a truce in a battle to allow both warring tribes to tend to their wounded in the Spotted Lake, " Kliluk ". I searched Flickr for the photos that I think are awesome.

Ultimate Husband A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passed away. The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, Or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150." The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home. The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, When it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?" The man replied, "Long ago a man called Jesus Christ died here, Was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance. From: Alagappan - Chennai
