Florida

Went to the Last Resort this past week and managed to get behind everyone who sits in the left hand lane with their turn signals on; honestly on more than one occasion I couldn't see the driver. I did not accomplish my goals for the week, but the airlines were pretty close to being on time and I got home safe and sound. And I'll be in the office all next week, I hope SWMBO can handle it. Oh, and at least it was pretty in Florida one evening:
Last Saturday we went to Durham to enjoy our nephew's daughter's birthday. At some point we put their kids along with Jay and Holly's kids together for a picture. Imagine if you were to shepherd a big bunch of kittens, it was kind of like that. How many thoughts and conversations are going on in this picture?
My birthday is coming up soon and I know I'm easy to "present" or "gift-card" (those were used as verbs there), but here is something I've got my good eye on................follow the link if you dare:

Micky Mantle was 19 years old when he hit a homer 550-600 feet. I'm not sure why this is in here but it is, and its a good picture of number 7.
Saw this on the road between Tallahassee and Daytona Beach Tuesday evening. I always liked the VW camper-van, this guy took it up a notch. I think he started out with a VW camper-van and then took some LSD. The thing on top is not standard equipment, it is a pickup truck cap. My romance with the VW camper-van is over. 
I've caught some grief over the past few years because my profile pictures usually do not involve my face. I've documented why over the past few weeks, after all you can't make chicken salad out of chicken manure (you're thought I was going to say chicken shit weren't you?) but after my last haircut I decided to update my look, No more hiding behind a helmet visor, I'm out there now, the new picture is on the right side of the blog, like it? Yes I do look older. 
That's it from the old eastern shore, RIP Joe Fristik. 

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
