The Runner Up

This Guy looked exactly like a character from Alice in Wonderland. The most Ghetto prize I can't show here. It was a young lady whom was wearing a blue bikini with stilettos while she shivered in the cold to take pictures and cause car crashes !

BOO

 

This day isn’t for scaredy cats.

For The Kid In You

Although this project was allot of fun. I was thinking about some preschoolers in Bermuda and a Cousin. This was indeed an amazing show. The Ring Master is on the front car of the "Funundrum Train." For 'kids' of all ages! Believe me I was one of them.


Check out these videos to get a little taste of how amazing this was.


The Circus was a BLAST.

Moon Lovers Delight

 

This full Moon, tonight, is called The Hunter’s Moon. Visible in the Northeastern sky, along with Jupiter, is definitely a sight to see. I have a shot of Jupiter, but it’s such a little thing next to this really bright Moon. In the camera’s eye,  Jupiter gives off a dreamy halo. Well here it is. The Moon will be visible in Asia during the day.

 

Do you see that little dot ?

Autumn Bike Getaway

 

If you are an avid cyclist like I am. Well, like me and a friend are. Here are some of the scenes we were able to see in Columbus, Ohio.  The trail was near Walnut Creek. The park was absolutely breathtaking and scenic. Enjoy some of the shots from the ride. 

There were some guys in the park playing football. They were like giant kids playing in the park.

It was a good ride with varying countryside. The twisty gravel road, paved streets, bridges. The Bicycles were not what I was used to. I had a Triax, which I’ve never heard of. I’m sort of spoiled because I own a Giant Cypress Rst, which is a pretty nice cruiser. I’m not saying the Triax was bad but it’s more of a mountain bike and it’s considerably heavier than my Giant. The loop we took was about five miles so I was tired when we got back. The day was the perfect day for a long ride. It was the fact that the bikes just were too heavy for a couple of old geezers out there trying to ride. It was a fun adventure.

This was the Dog Park, securely fenced in.

The Amish

 

I was passing  through West Salem when I saw these men. Yes this was earlier today. It was like a scene from 1750. I guess it’s hard to imagine living like the Amish do in these days of the high tech  society. They waived as we passed by like good neighbors would.

Message in a Bottle Survives Epic Journey

This story by Mike Krumboltz was taken from YahooBuzz. This one's interesting, enjoy.

Last year, a high school student named Corey Swearingen put a letter in a bottle, sealed it up, and dropped it in the Atlantic Ocean, off the Florida coast. It was kind of an experiment for school. In the letter, he appealed to whomever came across the bottle to contact him and let him know where in the world it showed up. Amazingly, someone did.

About 16 months after the bottle was dropped, Swearingen's marine science teacher heard from someone in Ireland. The letter had made its way across the Atlantic Ocean and washed up on the shores of the Emerald Isle, found by a 17-year-old and his Dad while out for a stroll. In an interview with Florida Today, Swearingen said he never expected the message to be found.

Can't blame him for pessimism. After all, the wine bottle, which, according to Swearingen, is being put up on display in an Irish pub, did face long odds. But it's hardly the first message in a bottle to survive a perilous journey.

In 2009, a message in a bottle washed up on the shores of England. It had been tossed into the waters near the Bahamas nearly five years previous. Incredible, but that pales in comparison to a bottle sent by Emily Hwang. True, Hwang's bottle traveled "only" 1,735 miles from Seattle to Alaska, but it took an amazing 21 years to do so.

There's even a case of a message in a bottle helping a family find a new life. In 1979, Dorothy and John Henry Peckham dropped a message in a bottle in the Pacific Ocean while on a cruise. Amazingly, the bottle found its way to Southeast Asia where it was picked up by 31-year-old Hoa Van Nguyen.

Nguyen wrote back and began a correspondence that eventually led to the Peckhams helping to sponsor Nguyen and his family's immigration to the United States.

Eat your heart out, email.
