Rome Rio city finder

Rome2rio, based in Melbourne, Australia, is organising the world’s transport information. The company offers a multi-modal, door-to-doortravel search engine that returns itineraries which may include air, train, coach, ferry, mass transit and driving options to and from any location.

Users of Rome2rio don’t need to search multiple websites to research and compare their travel options. Rome2rio provides answers to questions like “Do I have to fly, or can I go by train or car?”; “I’m going to Martha’s Vineyard: how do I get there from London?”; “I’m visiting six cities and towns across Europe: show me the best itinerary including air, rail and driving options”.

Rome2rio’s platform utilises a vast, purpose built, worldwide repository of air, rail, coach, ferry and mass transit routes. The platform is available for integration into web and mobile applications via API and White Label solutions.

The platform is capable of long-distance (inter-city) trip planning as well as local (intra-city) journey planning.”

OUR POLITICANS ... PLEASE NOTE.....

We will never see this again!

Thought you'd enjoy this!

It's one you want your Children and Grandchildren to read.

They won't believe this happened, but it DID.

Harry & Bess

(This seems unreal.)

Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding the history of the USA as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.

The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri . His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there.

When he retired from office in 1952 his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.

After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves. There was no Secret Service following them.

When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale."

Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."

As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food.

Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale (cf. Illinois ).

Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!

I say dig him up and clone him!
