I AM HAVING A HARD TIME FEELING ANY PITY FOR HER…

WTF is wrong with her? I like the part where she spent her husbands retirement account and now his dream of retiring and traveling is “pretty much gone for him right now”… I hope he does not own a gun! Then again, I think this qualifies as justifiable homicide doesn’t it?

SWEET HOME, Ore. — An Oregon woman who is out $400,000 after falling for a well-known Internet scam says she wasn’t a sucker or an easy mark.

Janella Spears of Sweet Home says she simply became curious when she received an e-mail promising her $20.5 million if she would only help out a long-lost relative identified as J.B. Spears with a little money up front…

Spears, who is a nursing administrator and CPR teacher, said she mortgaged the house and took a lien out on the family car, and ran through her husband’s retirement account.

“The retirement he was dreaming of — cruising and going around and seeing America — is pretty much gone for him right now,” she said…

JEEP AND OTHE STUFF… W/ LX3


We went to a veterans salute last Saturday in Hartford, CT. They had lots of cool planes and other stuff like this old Willis that was fully restored.


At the vet salute these motorcycle folks rode in and set up for the opening ceremony. I think they were Patriot Riders but I am not sure.


More of the Patriot Riders at the vet salute.


One of the planes that flew in was a Vought F4U Corsair. This guy may or may not have been the pilot.


On the way home from the vet salute, we were behind this guy who apparently hates liberals. When we saw his license plate we couldn’t help but laugh… He is taking it all too seriously I think… Usually, the cars with the bumper stickers are the liberals. Probably crunchy college professors and people like that. It probably 90-10 liberals when it comes to cars covered with bumper stickers… That is what made this worth photographing. This shot is cropped up because I couldn’t get close enough.


This is an old building from our drive in Upstate NY. “Wick Block”… I wonder if they made contraceptives?

SOME PICS FROM OUR ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND WITH THE PANASONIC LUMIX LX3

All images are taken with the Panasonic LX3 in 16×9 mode. No cropping, only downsized to 650 pixels.


We had lunch at an Indian restaurant in Hartford. The buffet was very good. I am beginning to like most everything from India.

We drove into upstate New York Sunday and found small towns and back roads. We stopped for lunch in a town called Middleburgh and had pizza of amazing quality. This one had artichoke, sausage and double garlic.


We stopped by the side of the road for a pic and I ended up just getting a pic of the GTI on Rt. 145 as we left Middleburgh


This pic seems to sum up Amsterdam, New York. It was very depressed as are most of the towns there. We were losing our light and didn’t have much time to explore. I will go back there and get more images in the future.


We had Seared Ahi for dinner in Albany at the Pump House Brewery. They make some great beer there and we bought two growlers to go. The growlers themselves are worth purchasing as they are made in Germany with custom pewter handles of varying subjects. I broke my diet yesterday and we killed both of them while digitizing some albums we found at a tag sale. The next batch of photos later this morning will show us drinking them…


We ate breakfast Monday back home and went to a diner we’d not tried. They made a very good omelet and had a hot Slavic waitress.


The omelet…


The omelet half eaten with lots of Tabasco…

65 MPG Ford You Can’t Buy

Ford’s Fiesta ECOnetic gets an astonishing 65 mpg, but the carmaker can’t afford to sell it in the U.S.

Ford’s 2009 Fiesta ECOnetic goes on sale in November. But here’s the catch: Despite the car’s potential to transform Ford’s image and help it compete with Toyota Motor and Honda Motor in its home market, the company will sell the little fuel sipper only in Europe.

Political humor

A sleek black luxury car speeds down a Southern dirt road. It stops next to a farm pond. A man exits the car and kneels down beside the water and uses his hand to drink.

A farmer exits the hereby house and shouts to the man: “Hay, don’t drink that! My cows shit in there!”

The man from the car stands up and holds his hand to his ear as if to indicate he can’t hear the farmer.

The farm yells louder: “DON’T DRINK THAT WATER, IT’S FULL OF SHIT!!!”

The man from the car, with an ‘Obama For President’ sign on the side, replies: “ah, that’s what I love about being down South, you’re quaint dialects…”

The farmer replies even louder: “USE BOTH HANDS!!!”
