Content is very good.5
Content is very good, and well organized. I did get the item on time.

Very Interesting5
I was at Fern Cave with a group of folk in Val Verde county when someone brought up the concept of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and could we name them. I wasn't even close to seven.

So, when I returned from the trip, I looked the subject up in Wikipedia. Reading about it was ok, but it didn't really hold my attention.

A few months later, I happened across this video at the local library. Ok, so I didn't buy it. Sue me. But I did watch it, and it was very interesting. It's hosted by Leonard Nimoy--he did all those In Search Of episodes, so this was totally his type of thing.
