It's sunset season, and blustery winds.

Cloud formations. We kust experienced, fog, lightning, hail, and snow all at once, welcome to spring.

What a beautiful sight, a beautiful traffic-less winding country road right next to a beautiful winding country river, everything is beautiful on this beautiful day driving out in the beautiful country.

 But then all of a sudden when we get back in the city closer to home a road rager passed us and deliberately cut us off forcing us to slam on the brakes and swerve to avoid a collision. So we honk and flash which makes brain dead road rager slam on brakes to slow us down. Now at the next light dim wit road rager is turning left and so do we. Then moronic road rager pulls over and stops, and so do we, about 200 feet back, not knowing what this turd burglar is going to do. Next, this knuckles dragging on ground rager gets out and starts briskly walking towards our vehicle. We hear him yelling that the speed limit was 45 mph and that we were only going 30 mph and thats what you have to do, is 45mph. So we yell to Neanderthal rager that he is wrong. Now he yells I'm getting your plate number, why are you following me. So we speed around this incredible moron up to his now vacant running van and turn on our cell video camera and film him running back to his van and he is screaming I've got you now! you'll be in handcuffs. Can you imagine what it's like living with this raging, wrong, lunatic moron.

The police said when moron ragers cut you off you are allowed to use 911. The police said they get more and more rage calls every week.

I will be installing a dash mount camera and the next time a poor little rager goes off, they will also be going off to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.



Here is a picture of the beautiful country river and the beautiful road rager running back to his van. Again what a moron!

Fail ~ Touch Screen Phone Fail ~

Hey! MapQuest® can you please tell me where I am at?

This is what happens when you have a touch screen phone and you are taking pictures. You erroneously snap pictures of things you didn't plan on taking pictures of, I went to my phones gallery of pictures and found 3 shots of feet just standing on the ground, and we're not even sure whose feet they are.

In this case it is one's feet firmly planted on the mother earth. But it doesn't verify where you actually are unless you have GPS settings turned to "on" on your cameras phone, which you should not do because you do not want people tracking your photos.

So in conclusion if you're not sure where you are you should utilize MapQuest, the best darn driving directions and maps there is.

BOO! Scary tree almost looks alive, if you were out in the woods at twilight and heard some mysterious bumps in the night, then you saw this tree, you might take fright to take flight.

So why not contrast and complement with another super lighthouse pic.

he Zoo is a very colorful place.



While walking by one particular exhibit we overheard a small kid exclaim to their parents, "wow, mom & dad, look at the cantaloupe's"!

Then another kid while looking at the Ant-eaters called the Ant-eaters funny looking elephants, because of the Ant-eaters long snout that resembles an elephants trunk.

All in all you're just another brick in the wall--Pink Floyd.



Just imagine how much brick, mortar, brick layers, cement, man hours, and gross weight it took to build this Cathedral and adjoining structure.

An architect or construction engineer could figure it out, but not us, all we know is that MapQuest® is as reliable and solid as a brick excrement house.

Flown in fresh today on a drone dirigible (Zeppelin, no Led) is today's historic post.

The reason it is a historic post is not because it's a great post, its a historic post because it is a history of the MapQuest® logo.

The original MapQuest® logo to the best of our knowledge is the red worded MapQuest®  

pictured below, and accredited to Wikipedia ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapQuest ).

We don't know what the font is called but it looks stone age or Flintstonian. (I think we just made up a new word in the English language, "Flintstonian"- definition - of or pertaining to the Flintstones.)



The other three green logos are the current logos that MapQuest utilizes today.

For a full blown history of the logo go to this link, http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/Mapquest which is at a site called "Logopedia".

Trying once again to post a video, we have not had any luck in the past but this time we will see it through to fruition.
If it works, that is posting a video, today's videos have to deal with the wind.
As in a flag blowin in the wind a helicopter blades making wind and fans of MapQuest® (who are not windy at all) the best place ever to get driving directions and or maps.

We are having troubles posting things today so this is a test post.

So here is one of our favorite all-time lighthouse pictures followed by some ODD

Pictures.

Remember this is only a test, no emergency action is required, if this were not a test you would be required to utilize the best maps and driving

directions on the web which of course is MapQuest®.

Some people have a clown phobia, this picture below gives us a rabbit phobia.

Not soft little furry bunny rabbits, but these eight foot tall jack rabbits are quite the imposing figures, and resemble bad dreams and or nightmares.



If you MapQuest Saginaw Michigan and go there you might want to bring some rabbit food or repellent.

Smile & Say CHEESE !

Or Rats (mice).

When you think of cheese you think Wisconsin, and the cheeseheads.

But there are other cheesy cheese towns around the country.

If you were to MapQuest® Pinconning Michigan and travel there, you will find mice mascots and cheese.

Pinconning is a small town of about 3,000 people, and is still known as the cheese capital of Michigan.

Ripley's Believe it or not, Pinconning Michigan is where Pinconning  cheese was created in 1915.

Ripley's Believe it or not again,  the word Pinconning is an old Indian term that means potato place, or little potato.

We luv MapQuest, gas stations don't, because MapQuest can save you a lot of $$ in gas by not getting lost.

You don't need MapQuest® if you're driving one of these, traffic is not going to slow you down much.

See the white stuff coming out of the helicopter? That's marshmallows being dropped for the Easter marshmallow drop.

Visually Stunning LightHouse PiX

Thus LightHouse is the sentinel who stands guard on the shore of the Great Lac' Huron in Michigan.

  At the Tawas Point State park is where this majestic beacon majestically gives guidance to many sailors who brave the Great lakes  ferocious waters.

You can also tour this light house, and climb the spiral staircase, where at the top you stand right next to the Fresnel lens and look out at the lake, beach, and park from a birds eye view.

Chuga chuga, chuga chuga, Choo Choo.

Trains.

Just like lighthouses, trains, and more so old train stations have a peculiar allure that waxes nostalgia.

Just look at the ornate, meticulously laid brick work that will never again be replicated in today's era of construction.

Six sunny sunsets setting  six sunny Sundays.

Chinese shoe factory strike, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Asics, New Balance, Timberland.



Most people have not heard of the "World's Factory" or "Factory of the World". Which is  where the current shoe factory strike is raging, it's in an area of China called the Pearl River Delta or PRD.

The capital of the area is Canton, which is located 75 miles NW of Hong Kong.

The population of this megacity  area is a staggering 63 to 120 million people.



In 2001 almost five percent of the world's goods were produced here, and Hong Kong has over 70,000 factory plants in the PRD area.

Thanx goes to MapQuest® the best free maps and directions online, for the map screenshot of the PRD area.

NO CELL PHONES ALLOWED. ILLEGAL?

Someday, somewhere on the planet when you go somewhere, you will have to check your cell phone in at the door or leave it in your car, because it will not be welcome on the premises. The only place that we currently know of that has this restriction are courts. But what if a park were to implement such a novel idea? To see no one tethered/enslaved to their mobile device would look weird but enlightening.



A park, a hill, a warm day, lots of grass, and running, romping, rolling.

That are the ingredients for real fun, fun that wears you out to the point where your glad to go to bed early.

No screens, charged device, internet connection, cell signal, or batteries required.

STUNNING LIGHTHOUSE  PiXX

We love lighthouses and we don't know why.

Do you have an aberrant abnormal attraction to lighthouses?

Maybe its the rarity of lighthouses, you only find them near a body of water that has the potential for churning up waves capable of capsizing a vessel.

Or is the lighthouse somehow romantic/nostalgic in a way. Some individuals will say it's the shape of the lighthouse?

ODD, g00fy, ko0ky,  wildWeird Looking bizarre contraption, what is it?

The lighthouse is a perpetual beacon of safe harbor for weary battered seafarers.

They were once manned by man, but are now automated by circuits of circuitry.

Contrast between nice sight and ugly blight.

We counted the smoke stacks and there are fifty of them.

We can't imagine what kind of process this factory is imploring that requires so many exhaust pipes.
