A lesson on the Internet

It's interesting how we tend to de-humanize the Internet these days. But, there are real people out there and this we can't forget..

The Rose

Well, I watched The Rose staring Bette Midler last night. Memories... It was many years ago that I last saw it and it is still so great and so sad. I had forgotten the influence that her her manager had on her and all that he was looking out for was himself and the ever loving dollar, at her expence.

Here's Bette singing the song.

II Volo - WOW...

Thanks again to Uncle Ron for sharing this with us...

The new addition

So, I haven't been blogging much lately. Here's the reason... We're putting an addition on our house and it's consuming all of my time. In the evening, I'm just plain tuckered out and need to rest for the next day.. :-(

Here is where it started. This metal shed had caved in this winter due to the heavy snow.. So I had to remove the shed. What fun that was in the sweltering heat, cutting it up with a sawsall (or however you spell that).



And then the tree had to come down, without hitting the house. Again, in the sweltering heat. :-(



So, this is where it is now. It's moving up. :-) Of course, notice how neat and clean our front yard is being kept during all this.



Oh and did I mention that we're have a new heating/cooling system put in the house, including all new ductwork. Such that the inside looks pretty much like the outside. My wife loves it, NOT.

3D Printing again.

Here's another, thanks to Uncle Ron. Now this is some technology....

Saving a Whale

Uncle Ron found this video of a humpback whale being saved. It's an amazing story, a must watch. Thanks Ron.

Thy Wiyos - Fun group

Now, here's some fun music and they're good at it. I really like them..

Solar Roads

Now, this is thinking outside the box...

Let's build roads out of glass

Pics taken yesterday

I really enjoy taking pictures of flowers. Sometimes I get lucky and there's a happy visitor in the neightborhood, aka a bee..

Disappearing car

The Rose

Fellow blogger, TC, posted this. I have always loved it. Thanks TC and I hope you don't mind my posting it as well.

Porcelain Unicorn (a short film)

Some old pictures

I had taken these quite a while ago on 35mm slides and just for the heck of it feel like posting them. They're not all that great, but some time I'll get to posting some more taken over time.



I took a few of this building over time as it was falling down. Today, it's totally gone, but not forgotten in my mind anyway..

If you like the Blue Angels

Watch this one. I highly recommend that you put it into 1080 and watch it full screen. Watch them Blue Angels go...
