From one of my gardens.I'm just posting this first because I get cranky later and then had to look at my flower photos to cheer me back up!! More later.
--------------------------------------.
Seems to only happen in Columbus but if you think about it the biggest/best parade around is in Columbus so of course it would attract a crazy guy.
If you did not know some dude crashed into our parade with a 911 car.
NBC15.com has the video called Parade Protest. You can see the PE float twice for a split second. The funny thing is how people started to run up on teh car and rip things off of it!!
WAY TO GO COLUMBUS!!
---------------------------------
I just saw a video on youtube that is pretty moving. I'm not going to post it here because I do not want to push this on anybody. It's a Road Safety Commercial that might be too powerful for American TV. The music is by Evanescence. It should be required viewing for ALL drivers. But again - it's powerful and moving.
I've never had an accident while driving, thousands and thousands of hours behind the virtual wheel of computer racing games really does help your driving skills by training you to look and constantly think ahead. When I drive I can pretty much tell what the character driving in the cars around me are planning on doing even before they know what they are doing.
Driving is a game and the goal is to win (live). That video will make me even more alert.

Well - now that I'm all bummed out - Anybody watch the Great American Race last night. Can they get anymore families that are so irritating that we could only watch like 10 minutes of the show? Each family was like a caricature of a real family and we really could not relate to any of these people. CLICK!!!
So I turned on Expedition Africa and the lead gorilla (Pasquale) who seems to think he is leading our real life explorers is just irritating the crap out of me also!! So I turn on the Brewer game . . . . . .0-5 WONDERFUL!! aaaagh!!
BTW - I did not know that the female explorer, Mireya was a Miami Dolphin cheerleader?
Still - it's a great show and you are just hoping Pasquale will fall off a cliff by "accident" and if he tells the story about how you don't know how good you are until you have to carry a dead comrade down a mountain when you were the leader of an Expedition . . . . . sigh!
geez - I'm not sure that is a selling point on how good you are LOL
OK - I'm going to look at my flower photos now to brighten this cloudy cold day! MAN I could use some 90 degree weather. Did you know that 67% of Americans think that air aonditioning is vital?
I think we have used ours 3 days in the last 2 years. Maybe 5 days in 3 years. The more you use it the more you need it.
LOL - I feel much better now! A co-worker has to have her computer re-imaged (hard drive wiped) because a crap piece of Microsoft software . . . something about IE7 that is being forced onto our computers. I refuse to use any IE browser! Firefox 3.5 for me.
ANYWAY - here is another flower "photo".
Better do some work.
Have a nice day - IT'S GOLF NIGHT and I have a new sand wedge - I HOPE I get in the sand tonight!!! Bring it on!!

Hey air conditioning is ESSENTIAl if you live in the south. It's like having to have heat in winter in Wisconsin for goodness sakes....live "down south" in the real heat and humidity and you will understand. Oh yeah, essential for all vehicles too so you don't melt LOL
Looks interesting real "gangster":
ReplyDelete(loved The Departed movie)
Friday, July 10: An FBI agent's difficult decision on Dateline:
"The Departed" won an Oscar for Best Picture in 2006, with a story based, in part, on actual events in the Boston mob. Now Dateline brings you the rest of the story.
It starts with two boys growing up in the same neighborhood who take very different paths in life: One ended up a gangster, the other joined the FBI. And when they met again years later, the agent had a choice: He could be loyal to the past, or, loyal to the law.
I love your pictures....
ReplyDeleteThank you very much....
