Map info

I need to stop surfing the web and get back to planning my son’s birthday party (he turns 11 this week). But one last entry: a detailed collection of maps — including many from Iraq — is available on the web courtesy of the University of Texas at Austin. If you’re tired of trying to figure out what is where from the tiny maps you see on tv, this is a place to visit. Kudos to the University of Texas-Austin for making it accessible in this way.
