Today in 1935, T.E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia, died.  He seems like a pretty sweet guy to me.  He was an archeologist (and no doubt an influence for Indiana Jones), a friend of the Arabs, a very gifted military strategist, and very humble too.  He led a guerilla war against the Ottoman empire, which is all anybody needs to do to get into my good graces (it’s really difficult to get into my good graces since 1914, when the Ottoman empire collapsed, however, Russia?  You’re still in my good graces for that one, there was never a cold war from me).  Anyway, I’d like to read his book someday, but we’ll see when I have time for it, it may be quite a while before I do, there’s a lot of books on the queue right now.
