Sometimes Disclaimers are Implied

I was just randomly thinking about this the other day. Do you ever wonder where the information I share on this blog comes from? The easy answer....everywhere. I get it from tour guides, and people I meet and signs in museums and on the street and from information pamphlets and of course the Internet. I find it quite interesting however that when I combine information from all those sources, I often find slightly different interpretations of the information on the same topic. It is often hard to know exactly what is correct but usually I just run with the consensus. Plus I can't really trust Wikipedia to be the authority on all things history. And who ever said history is an exact science anyway?

So that being said I always try to make sure that everything I share is accurate and correct but I can't promise that it totally is. I'm sure you already know this but each one of these posts really does include the disclaimer, "At the time of posting, I believe all of this information to be true and accurate", I'm just not writing it out every time.
