I really like to the boy on the bike mural. It's titled "King of the Road."

Soooo, I’m working temporarily in Mobile, AL, for a few weeks. And near where I’m working is the hulk of the SS United States, the only superliner built by the USA and the final owner of the Blue Riband, the award given to the fastest ship across the Atlantic.



She’s to be sunk in the upcoming weeks to become the world’s largest artificial reef, off the coast of Florida. Sad to see her go out like that, but still better than being broken up into razor blades.

And yes, if I’m still working here when they sink it, I’ll be doing my damndest to dive on it!

Cheers,

Parking Wars

You CAN park there mate! A woman holding a parking space for a friend. The driver simply gets out and the car self parks!

(OK, I do actually hate undercooked bacon. Gross. If you bend a piece of bacon, it should break.)

You'd never handle the ¼" thick slab of bacon that was mostly fat that topped the goulash I had in Budapest.

Basically, any SCA event, ever.

You’re not wrong…

It's gonna be totaled anyway.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Maybe, maybe not -- depends on how it got upside down. If you watch enough videos, for example, you can see a phenomena where two vehicles tires catch each other when too close and it causes one vehicle to flip. Some damage, oh yeah, for sure, but totaled? No. Some strong guys can roll it over. Not saying it'll be cheap repairs, but what was done above -- it'll be too expensive to salvage now.

You know what's sad? Nobody tried to warn the truck driver, best I could see. I thought for sure that guy in the red-looking SUV was going to stop and do it, but then he just kept going. Sad.

Yeah, I don't get that, either. Why isn't anyone waving their arms and yelling "Stop!" or something?

I got a Ford Escape after my other car got flooded. I've been thinking about getting some chrome letters an putting "Pod" under the Escape.
