And then there's this...

...I found while drinking coffee and goofing off this morning.

Actually, I think it would be more difficult to explain Kim Kardashian.

Hell, in the 50s Dick Tracy was talking into his video watch and there were flying cars.
I loved the modern age.

Honestly we do, do some things besides search around for mindless crap on the internet and when I figure out what those things are... I promise to post them immediately.

We're excited to be having friends from Memphis come visit this weekend. It's always fun to take folks riding in the Albury and show them around the hood. They're arriving tomorrow so Istaboa is shiny clean and loaded up with goodies.

Cheers,

One picture has nothing to do with the other, just stumbled on it surfing around the web in bed last night before falling asleep.

A great photo from 1939.

July 1939. Gordonton, N.C. "Country store on dirt road. Sunday afternoon. Note kerosene pump on the right and the gasoline pump on the left. Rough, unfinished timber posts have been used as supports for porch roof. Negro men sitting on the porch.

Mexico’s Haunting Underwater Sculptures: Art With A Purpose

The location is Cancun Mexico in the national marine park where coral reefs are suffering from being over-fished and over-visited.

How cool... would love to snorkel through all this.

The weather's been nice here in Palm Beach so today we took the Albury out for a sunny day Mimosa Cruise.
A nice day for a boat ride.

Remember Leaf Cay?

The semi-deserted island that Mel and I got a tour of?  If you're not one of our longtime readers than you probably won't, so... The original post from 2009 here.

What a wild place. The previous owner actually believed Y2K was to be the end of the world as we know it and he wanted to survive in the fashion he was accustomed to.
Our friend Karen, (who's coming to visit this weekend) informed us that it was sold to a couple from Nassau and an HGTV show about it, Island Hunters, is running in rotation right now.

Personal Sub sitting on the swim platform of our new neighbor's boat. They just left for the islands. That would be fun in the Exumas.

Saw this today on Doonesbury's page... wonder, what would happen if we all did this...?
Just a thought.



We took the Shawshank Redemption approach to personal success...
After they've kicked your ass....
With a smile, be useful to many of those you loathe and never let them beat you down, slowly and methodically dig through the proverbial wall without being noticed, crawl through the sewer, wade across a swamp, finally end up in the sun and on the beach. And, most importantly, never forget your real friends.
Worked for us.
YAY!!

Cheers,
