Things I'm thankful for:

A son, a daughter, a wife,
my country, my freedom, my life.

Be thankful you've been given permission

Nacho Double Down

Fail? Or perhaps a great last second improv due to a lack of double down wraps?

Aside - the original is better than the grilled.

Over- thinking it (UPDATED!)

Is there any reason for these faces to be mirrored?

UPDATE! Looks like the same mistake was included in the iPhone pics released months ago:

I have not used this feature but maybe it really works this way?

Garry,

Buy a gun, and buy this book. In either order.

Balloon Animals

I've been making balloon animals for my kids, and here's the first one that wasn't a snake, worm, or three-wing butterfly.

I fixed it

Drudge is highlighting the Cyber Command logo today.

But there is nothing "cyber" or "internety" about it.

Here's a thought:

Much better.

What I'm reading right now.

Happy 4th of July!

Heinlein's List

Okay Garry, shall we set to work on Heinlein's List? I'll put off the "die gallantly" for awhile (hopefully a very very long while), but what about the others? We've both changed diapers. What shall we plan to invade? And then we've got to butcher a hog? This would make for an interesting book . . .

Chicago

I was in Chicago for work on Wednesday; this shot was taken by a friend after dinner after the Blackhawks won their first Stanley Cup in almost 50 years. Building at lower left says "HAWKS," building in the middle has Stanley, building at lower right says "LET'S GO HAWKS." It was a fun night to be in town.

I also had a great time at one of the funnest museums in the country--Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. Got up close to a U-boat, a Mercury and an Apollo capsule, and some big ole locomotives, etc.

More cars

These cars are all from “The Art of the Automobile” at the Atlanta High Museum (on loan from MOMA I believe). These were taken on my iPhone so please forgive the quality.




Porsche Speedster




Pierce Arrow




Duesenberg




Mercedes (this was my wife’s favorite)




Alfa Romeo




Remainder of a Porsche prototype




Bugatti with original ostrich skin seats




Aston Martin




Jaguar




Ferrari




Porsche




The first Corvette Stingray

There were a few more, but these were the highlights.

Been away for a while.

I apologize. Some new posts will be added tonight.

Saw a few cars yesterday

Went to the High Museum to see the Art of The Automobile exhibit.



An early Alfa Romeo; one of my favorites on display (Please forgive the iphone quality pic. It's all I had on me). Something about the word Superleggera makes me want to drop everything and race cars.

More to follow when I get some time to post.

Go see it

Good stuff. Been a while since we went to opening night of a summer blockbuster, but it was worth the crowd.

Funny

A couple of funny pics:







Got to be a heavy iPhone/iPad user to get that one.

Plus this:







I never got into the Star Trek versus Star Wars conflict. I always appreciated both.

Quoted for truth

“Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.”

Thomas Jefferson, who accomplished a few things. If only I had one-one hundredth of his drive.

I wonder what's on tv right now...

A glimpse of the future

This sounds awesome. And scary.
