Secret 2-
I know it's dumb compared to real problems, but today I failed my driver's license test, and it upset me pretty bad. I'm a smart kid and I could count the number of times I've failed anything on one hand. I've never made a dent on either of my parent's cars, much less gotten arrested or in an accident.
The reason I failed: I crossed the double yellow line on Plum Street. (@#$@@#?!?!?!??!?!?!!!???!)(I have no more idea what that means than you do.)
Heaven Forbid I do something REALLY bad, like sneeze, or possibly take a hand off the steering wheel for a milisecond.
I've decided the examener's son probably was fatally injured in a teenage car crash, and to get revenge she got a job failing everyone she can.
Crapity crap crap.
Shown in the graphic image: just moments after the incalculable loss for America.
Confusion and anger envelopes the hearts and minds of every American as a nation struggles through waves of grief and sorrow.
Little is known what lies ahead in the dark days to follow.
Emotionally piercing to the inner soul of every American, we gather in remembrance, horrified and profusely shocked.
Jonathan Hoefler examines the cut of Helvetica Bold supplied on early Macs. He pointed out about a dozen flaws altogether.
I would offer a suggestion to younger documentary photographers. Keep records.
I took this picture, and several others, of this old house in the late 1970s. It was somewhere in the area surrounding Jefferson City, TN. I thought I would remember where it was, but now I don't. I can't go back and photograph it again. And I can't give it to those who might have some connection to this home.
Memory fails. Trust me. But written records don't.
Yeah, you give 'em smartphones, soon they're gonna wanna go to college, get all uppity n' stuff... mebbe hit you up fer wunna them there eye-pawdz... hey, girl, ain't you pregnant yet? How 'bout that football team, huh?

The evening of the 5th day of our Rhine Cruise saw us leaving Koblenz and heading downriver towards Cologne, and it was time for some entertainment put on by the staff. What a fun evening!
This gal was supposed to be a circus tightrope walker, and got several gentlemen from the audience, including my husband, to hold the rope tight. After a number of failed attemps, since the fellows couldn't hold the rope tight when she tried to get on, she hauled out her wet laundry and proceeded to hang it on the tightrope turned clothesline!

Where's the black gone?
I've dumped the chemistry but too tired to print on ... tomorrow night maybe.
Randomly I realized I didn't have a screenshot of this guy. Fail Whale - what you know all the tech folk/twitter addicts will be talking about whenever he appears. Also it's just fun to say Fail Whale.
...And of course seconds after I get the Fail Whale Twitter is back. So there will be no excited mass panic or blogging or ranting. Darn.
...Meanwhile do you notice how happy the whale is? And are those birds taking him back to the ocean or taking him away...elsewhere? You'd think a whale would look more nervous if he was actually leaving the water. Also those are some pretty strong birds - there are only 8 of them. This makes me wonder if some fellow nerd has already done the math to figure how much weight each of those birds is carrying. (Yes, I googled - I'm still looking.)
Meanwhile this is a hysterical fail whale alternative image:

Also the blog post:
Fail Whale's Birds Must Work Out A Lot - Or They're Really Pterosaurs
where I ponder whether 8 pterosaurs could carry a whale.
This is the "rear exhaust hanger" off my newly restored 1967 MGB GT. It failed within six months and 200 miles. I carefully mounted it, too, so there was no torsional stress on the mount. Repro parts are incredibly frustrating.
Well, fail tables I guess is more like it. Forgot the beers, got bounced on every attempt, and my camera battery wasn't charged (DOH!) so only got these two blurry shots (not even from the right angle...these were actually goin downhill more than flat) before it died altogether. Fail. The night was saved by a few Young's Winter Warmers and Affligem Holidays ales at Doyle's after.
Todays batch of uploads come from the 550+ mile trip I crammed into a single day, taking me from my hotel in Oregon up into Washington State to visit the following:-
Aberdeen Lake
Failor Lake
Lake Quinault
Quinault Indian Reserve Beach
Kalaloch Beach
Ruby Beach
Hoh Rain Forest
Lake Pleasant
Crescent Lake
Hood Canal
How I managed to do it all is beyond me, with the only downside being the weather through the whole day - I can imagine just how amazing the likes of Ruby Beach must look with bright blue skies above, oh well, maybe I'll get the chance to head up there again someday!
