Post A Photo, A Real Photo

That look you get on your face when you thought you were sniffing a child, but it was actually a fellow politician.

I like to have a bison in the freezer

While that beautiful blue water does indeed look enticing, I'm thinking this "top 10" travel destination might start wearing a little thin after a while, standing out there on your sandbar. But I suppose that's to be expected, since it was Lonely Planet that rated these destinations.

Reminds me of the old Dan Aykroyd Saturday Night Live skit about dangerous Halloween costumes, including "Johnny Invisible"

Villagers West Papua on the attack (head hunters/cannibals). Looks like a staged event, who knows for sure.

Grandson is trying to look like his papa. Yes, he has a one eyed Shepherd. Idiots threw the dog into a pittbull fighting ring to tune up their dumb dog. Idiot got arrested and we rescued the puppy.

Bergen Norway, I was here once. We docked where the two small white/black ships are tied up. It was late winter, the peaks were covered by ice and snow. Just to the left out of the photo was a small park where an Oom-pah pa band played. I got a hotdog (their version of bratwurst) and listened to the band... The sun was beginning to set, made the snowy peaks almost glow.

Wasn't there but a couple hours, mysterious cargo came aboard. Then we ghosted a russian sub up and down the coast, eventually into the arctic ocean.

Re: mysterious cargo...

We were never allowed to pull in to any ports being an ammunition oiler that may have nukes on board. We had anchor outside the ports and take liberty boats to go ashore. I can still recite...

I can neither confirm or deny the presence of nuclear weapons on board the USS Detroit.

I stood the security when they were loaded and wasn't allowed to even look ... But out of the corner of my eye I did see some shinny white things on special roller carts...

We pulled into Japan and there were protest because we had nukes aboard. The Navy assured the Japanese government that all nukes had been off loaded. We left Japan and sailed directly to Hawaii where we off loaded nukes. I wonder where those came from.

We pulled into ports fully loaded all the time. I think no dock time had more to do with countries like Japan who hated nukes and the type of ship.

Come on Ben! mysterious cargo then ghosting the same russian sub for a week? Obviously the two have something to do with each other... especially since the big crate disappeared into the helo hanger where the asw helicopter resided.

OK, here's a little levity-break..

Surprise! And when they would wail 'Daaaad!! You were supposed to Wait for Us to have some!' The patent-reply was.. 'Well.... I was just checking for poisonous Snakes, Mkay??'

Never Miss a Chance to be a Smartass to yer Kids.

Alright, alright, I'll "post something serious", now..

Taken on a recent drive back Home from Houston (..Drove Out n Back in 3.5 days.. What's cool about 'em, is that it was Absolutely Pitch Black out.. Sometime 1am+ or so, but.. Point being - the Only 'illumination source' in the shots - was the Lightning strikes - which were taken on an iPhone..

..Just 'kept clicking away', shooting out the side-window (yeah, 'while Driving', but I was pretty much the only one on the 10, at that hour..) until I 'got lucky'...

..Also snapped one at Sunset thru a pair of polarized 'fishing' shades.. I call it..

..The Moment of the Air-Burst...
