Photo Blogging

This is a test. This is only a test. Had this been an actual blog, well, I don't know.


This is an early morning moon setting over Playa Del Rey.

Now, look for the hidden cyclist...
Hard to see the early morning rider in low res. But the speck at the top is a lovely California Gull. Now look down; see the palm tree? Just to the right and below the tree is the rider.

And now, arriving home after a hard day at the salt mines, the moon also rises...

Till next time.

Jazzed??

Looking for a vacation destination this summer. You could do worse than the Montreal Jazz Fest 2007 . Not to mention that the city is one of the best places to go for a vacation. There is just so much to see and do in the city. It has parts like old Europe, without the overseas travel. But it is also a modern city.

Of course, you do need a passport these days, if you are flying. You can still drive there without one, but that changes January 2008 I believe. Have fun.

And It Stoned Me.

The rock I mean. I saw it coming. It hit with the usual clunk. I seem to be some kind of magnet for rocks on the highways and byways of America.

This morning was perhaps my fifth ding on a car windshield. Pahlease! So I drive a lot. So do many people, and they never have this problem. And this car is only 6 months old. I guess I should be thankful. The last car was dinged right after leaving the dealership lot!

Then there was the Legacy. Well that one had more dings than I care to remember. I think I am keeping these guys in business. Cheaper than a new windshield and way better than an accident.
But still....

Afghanistan Women Rights

Are there any? It would appear not. Here is a portion of an AP photo on Yahoo:

"An Afghan man beats his niece, allegedly for not paying him enough respect in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Monday, April 23, 2007."

Click the first link for the image and then view the slide show. The photograper is Farzana Wahidy.

Geez, what is the point. And where is the outrage from NOW.

I will continue with the experiment.

Even though I am beginning to think it may not pan out. As these things go, it has taken longer than I had hoped. But alas, at last count there are 72 million blogs.

Can you say needle in a haystack? Good thing I did not hold my breath.

Imus Fights Back

At least according to DRUDGE . 'Course, he should not have said what he said. But he has been saying exactly that for 30 years, so what is so different today?

Makes me long for Archie Bunker. Ahh, those were the days... Doubtful the show would make it on the air today.

Cavalier Fun Match

Should you happen to live near here, there is a fundraiser for sick puppies at this blog, Darcy's Daily .

Seems that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have some unique health issues, and the nice people from the above blog lost one of theirs. So they started a fund to raise money and this is the first event. They are friends of mine and you should go, with dog or not.
