A large Cold Stone Creamery ice cream outlet on Times Square. The same franchise has opened several outlets in Dubai as well. Frankly, though expensive, and glarmourous, I didn't think too much of the ice cream from Cold Stone which I ate in Dubai: the absence of milk is glaringly obvious, and the ice cream appears rather sticky and gooey, meaning it's not smooth.

It was rainy here, on and off this afternoon, and I do like rain shots, so I went with it.
Cold Lake
It's more or less freezing the last 2 weeks, so slowly the lakes freeze. Maybe the ice is about 1cm thick, so not a lot, yet. (It's above 0 Celsius during the days.)
The next few days some snow is forcasted, but I doubt it'll be so much it's photogenic.
Cold War Aviation: The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird
No reconnaissance aircraft has operated in more hostile airspace or with such complete impunity than the SR-71, the world's fastet jet aircraft. The Blackbird was developed from the single-seat A-12, which first flew in 1962. The CIA flew the first operational A-12 sortie, a surveillance flight over North Vietnam, in 1967. While Lockheed continued to refine the A-12, the U.S. Air Force ordered an interceptor version, designated the YF-12A. Lockheed's "Skunk Works." however, proposed a "specific mission" version for conducting post-nuclear strike reconnaissance. this system evolved into the SR-71.
Blackbird crews provided important intelligence during the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and its aftermath, as well as pre- and post-strike imagery of the 1986 U.S. air raid on Libya. in 1987, SR-71 crews flew missions over the Persian Gulf, which revealed Iranian Silkworm missile batteries that threatened commercial shipping and American escort vessels.
At the time the SR-71 became operational, satellites were already beginning to replace reconnaissance aircraft. As the effectiveness of space-based surveillance systems and ground-based air defense grew, Air Force enthusiasm for the expensive SR-71 program waned, and operations ceased in 1990. Despite protests by military leaders, Congress briefly revived the SR-71 in 1995. However, wrangling over operating budgets soon ended the Blackbird program. The last SR-71 flight was at an airshow at Edwards Air Force Base in October 1999.
this certificate documents the record-setting flight of NASM's SR-71 on September 13, 1974. It was presented to Air Force Captain "Buck" Adams by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, the official keeper of aviation records.

We had lots of fun on our tour from Seattle to San Francisco and back. Hope you don't mind a short series of random snaps of my travel companion.

Definitely feeling like Autumn now. It's starting to get cold and once it rains, it becomes real depressing. Perfect weather to stay indoors and play video games or watch TV.
Another off the summer checklist! Thanx for the heads up Brotha D!

Close-up of roof coming up. What looks like peeling shingles is skulls. Lots of skulls. Cow, horse, and whatnot.
What would you do for a Klondike Bar? This week was unseasonably warm which kind of ruled out any thing out of doors. So I decided to grab something out of the freezer and this is what I came up with.
Life has been rather hectic and I realized I had not done my monthly garden journal postings.
Catching up with January and February. March coming soon.
Back porch, always a few degrees colder than front thanks to all sun being blocked from November to late February by a 6 story building.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey and yellow, white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
Week 204 Assignment 1 for Take A Class With Dave and Dave.
Cold. Baby it's cold outside, well at least here it is so this week for the first assignment, lets see a shot that shows or deals with cold.
At the old farm cottage we used to stay at beneath Mt Maroon, this is the only shower. The water came from a spring. Needless to say, we usually waited until we returned home for a shower. June 1989.
This photo was taken just after sunrise with Mt Maroon in the background. Unfortunately when it was scanned, the top of the mountain was cropped.
