Good point, Chris.  It is our personal perception which shapes our own take 
on reality.  Is a hotel room where Elvis partied a historically significant 
site?  Probably not, but a clio was harvesting some minor charges there in 
"The Green Glass Grail".  To that clio Elvis was a historically significant 
figure and so it goes..
