    Happy Birthday Panama Canal

    Opening of the canal was 100 years ago today. It would be a remarkable feat today, how much more so a century ago. http://www.as-coa.org/articles/panama-canal-get-numbers?gclid=CL7Rhe_clcACFQGPaQodNrIA0A http://geography.about.com/od/specificplacesofinterest/a/panamacanal.htm It is better...
