When I saw this, I just saw X's—but this is the mast that three men climbed to board their dirigible in 1926, and took off to be the first to fly over the North Pole. They made it, but never knew that they had. |

There's a plaque on the mast that commemorates their accomplishment. [To see more ABC posts, go here.] |
I understand (not) that this mast was on the market one year for about six weeks after Ash Wednesday and therefore has something in common with this post in that they can both to be said to be, at least phonetically in your case, related to the term “X-sell-Lent.”
ReplyDeleteHad to check out a photo of the Norge.
X does mark the spot!
