A wide view of the Hewlett Fire seen durring the blue hour reflecting Douglas Reservoir. There was just a bit of the sunset left at this point and Venus was starting to take over the sky.

Wet snow and cold rain didn't dampen the turnout for the Saturday November 26th rally. Another externality - brisk sales for flag-makers and print shops?
Underside of the 35W bridge over the Mississippi. This was one of the first photos I took with my new camera, but I guess I didn't find it all that interesting until last night when the bridge collapsed :|
A campaign truck for the centrist candidate Ahn Cheol-Soo takes up residence near Chonggye stream. The slogan promises "Victory for the People" ('The People Win'). Though not expected to win the May 9th snap election, the software-tycoon-turned-prez-contender drew some respectable 20-30% polling numbers.
For years - probably since around when Rowan was born - I've been saying if evolution progressed properly, by now women would grow a third arm during pregnancy. Now *that* would be an intelligent design. ;-)
So, that got me thinking about "OctoMom" - the horribly snarky, yet delightfully funny, nickname given to the recent single mom of octuplets. How many arms would be popping out of her (well, besides the 16 from the babies, of course).
And, yes, I know that if I were giving each mom one arm per baby, there should be another two here, but I wouldn't want evolution to go overboard, you know! ;-)
Yes, this is all tongue in cheek; even without my third arm, I'm pretty sure evolution is alive and well (rather unlike the U.S. economy, but that's another satire for another day).

.... African Canadian Torontonians, stand in solidarity with citizens of Baltimore and want Toronto's new police chief, Mark Saunders .... Toronto's first black police chief .... to end the policy of "carding" Saunders has addressed the issue of "carding” — stopping and documenting members of the public not suspected of a crime, a practice that disproportionately affects young black men. Saunders insisted carding is a necessary tool that enables Toronto Police Officers to tap into the street gang culture and gather information that would otherwise be “extremely complex” to obtain. Saunders is well aware of the outrage over carding and vowed to work with affected communities and with his officers to ensure everyone is treated fairly and with respect. However, Saunders stressed he “will not compromise community safety” and has no plans to abolish “carding” ....
Some bound effigies get the vuvuzela treatment during this peaceful rally in Seoul's Kwanghwamun square. A series of tents with caricatures and other artworks draws steady crowds even in the winter chill.

These metalworks occupy a patch of Kwanghwamun square in protest of an alleged campaign to blacklist artists. Metal rules!

It's summer, or dog meat season in Korea and parts of China. What raises folks' hackles isn't the canine consumption itself; it's the brutal way the chow is harvested. This place is "for the dogs" (ouch!)

You're strolling around Pagoda Park on a nice snappy autumn afternoon, enjoying the sights and then - uh-oh Spaghetti-O - you come upon a rancorous, dialed-up-to-11 protest. This one is mostly anti-North Korean nukes, but there is also a sign saying "Economic Liberalization (Democratization) hurts our competitiveness." Won't even touch that one. Notably, the Kim Jong-in signs just have an "X" over his face. The anti-Kim display near Kwanghwamun actually has his mouth taped shut. Now, that's just mean. With duct-tape tamped over his gob, how is he supposed to sing his Disney Sing-Along songs? And how will he and his wife practice the "Chim Chim Cheree" duet from "Mary Poppins"? ;-)

On a raw and damp Saturday afternoon, a reported 1.9 million people rallied at Seoul's Kwanghwamun square. This fellow is seated on the normally traffic-clogged Jongno Street facing the square.

When I saw this Holy Death candle in the grocery store in Santa Maria, California, I took a picture of it because I thought it was interesting. Now I'm hoping that this is not a bad omen! I've been concerned about the threat of war from North Korea. Especially because my father-in-law is from Guam and still has family there. We are living in scary times!
Some gawpers check-out a cut-out of the impeached Korean president (who has since been jailed). But what's going on with the horsey on the ground? This prolly relates to the prez's Rasputin-like confidante Choi Soon-shil. Reportedly this"friend of the prez" bribed judges at equestrian events to throw the rankings in her college-age daughter's favor. Giddy-up!

In English, the top part of the sign roughly read "Let's Go To Jail" Who this is and what this is about will be left for the viewers to discern(wink wink). One of the many photo-ops at these rallies...

From among these DVDs collected over the years, there's the cult classic "Seconds" (1966) and "Rollover" (1981), a strangely prescient conspiracy tale about a plot to cripple the global banking system. It tanked at the box office but has gained a minor cult following over the years. The ones toward the left unfortunately are true stories.
