Be careful where you park.

 


Although there is no indication of what caused the Lower Manhattan collapse at this stage, the building’s fall comes just weeks after structural engineers warned that the increasing popularity of electric cars — which because of their batteries can be considerably heavier than conventional vehicles — could see garages collapse in future.

Speaking to UK paper The Daily Telegraph, engineer Chris Whapples said there is “potential for some of the early car parks in poor condition to collapse” and that owners of garages should get structural assessments of their lots done and decide whether they can take the weight of all modern cars. “We have height restrictions in car parks, why not weight”, he said.

These little critters have been birthing for millions of years & are a real pain in the ass!

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_turtle


If you live on or near the beach
 you have to turn off all your outdoor lights
during "sea turtle birthing season" which can last from April 'til July!


Nobody wants to hurt them (well in todays world who knows)
but you are discouraged from even walking on the beach during their migration.


No beach time today!

Brown Eyed Women_McK Bros 5_16_13

Have not played this one in a long time...



Lyrics
Gone are the days when the ox fall down,Take up the yoke and plow the fields around.Gone are the days when the ladies said' "Please,Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me."
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down,And it looks like the old man's getting on.
1929 when he stepped to the bar, drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar.1930 when the wall caved in, he made his way selling red-eyed gin.
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down,And it looks like the old man's getting on.
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins,Two times over and the rest were sins.Raised eight boys, only I turned bad,Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had.
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down,And it looks like the old man's getting on.
Tumble down shack in Big Foot county.Snowed so hard that the roof caved in.Delilah Jones went to meet her God,And the old man never was the same again.
Daddy made whiskey and he made it well.Cost two dollars and it burned like hell.I cut hickory just to fire the still,Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill.
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down,And it looks like the old man's getting on.
Gone are the days when the ox fall down,Take up the yoke and plow the fields around.Gone are the days when the ladies said' "Please,Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me."
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down,

Infrastructure

 


Somebody in the government approved this project.
And paid for it.


And the contractor that did it just followed orders...

There is something cool about my well traveled grandkids...

 MEXICO

Justin buzzes
Amanda always does the thumbs up.
A rare photo of Luke cracking up!
Mom & Dad shopping on the beach.
I'm confused. Is this on purpose?
The ocean blends w/ the pool
which blends w/ the pool deck?
And who are on those ships...

AN UPDATE!
My other well travelled granddaughter
coming off a beach bike ride in
Stone Harbor

LSU beat Iowa in the women's NCAA basketball championship 102-85

An enjoyable Sunday afternoon watching basketball. Entertaining & controversial. 






It's good to be a Democrat...

Jane Pauly suggests that Senator Fetterman may also, some day,
run for higher office. After all, he is still a young man.
