When I was a kid, I mean very young, maybe 3 or 4, I remembered going to a place outside of Victoria called "Humpty Dumpty Lake". It must have been fun, I remembered playing in the sand and Humpty Dumpty and all these people riding around on logs upon the lake...
When I was older I asked my parents about it, and looked for it on maps the few times I'd returned, I never found it, my parents didn't remember, the lake doesn't exist on a map. But, fortune and Google on my side tonight, a search of the interwebs and I found this:
Humpty Dumpty. Old Guardian of Elk/Beaver Lake, part of the Old Enchanted Forest, a tacky period tourist trap.
Looking at pictures, other pictures, I can find no real evidence it existed, but this, even though it's long gone, is proof enough...

An interesting article on how Putin (Trump's biggest, only ally) deals with the opposition:
These are the people Trump is in bed with. But - not to excuse him - these are the logical extensions of power, I've dealt with any number of people in the restaurant that would use similar means (or worse) if they felt it would advance their position....
