Reading an essay about the caves of Sarawak Borneo and then changing it to where everyone else could read it was a real challenge! Have a read on my latest missive on BorneoHistory.net. No interest in caves? Well, develop one. Sure beats Trump, Epstein and the other clowns running the world today!

Good Morning all from the island of Borneo! I usually watch CNN but I would rather do my research about this fabulous Island. If you are at least remotely interested about the names and locations of settlements in 1365 from a poem in Java, take 30 seconds and have a look. Borneohistory.net

Good Wednesday Afternoon from the coast of Borneo! I just posted an essay on the Indian Muslims of Sarawak on BorneoHistory.net. An interesting read! Better than the government shutdown, generals and admirals listening to what comes out of the backend of an orangutan but not as good as Jimmy Kimmel
