It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it. Back to the early 1980s with this dimpled pint glass a.k.a 'hand grenade' wielding trio of sad old men who have seen better days. The pints of Salcombe Gold and Lifesaver are flowing in the Maritime Inn on Plymouth's Barbican. Old mates for getting on fifty years now. L-R : Yours Truly, Dave Palmer, Mike Evans. The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
The pagodas at Three Pagodas Pass on the Thai/Myanmar border, Kanchanaburi, Thailand.
The pass has been the main land route between India and South East Asia since ancient times. It is believed that Buddhism spread from India into Thailand this way. It was also the route through which Thai and Burmese forces attacked each other and the route through which the Japanese built the infamous "Death Railway" during World War 2. These days there is a simple border crossing but it is only open for local traders to reach the small markets on either side. It is closed to international travellers.

Just this one thing...
Starting in daylight, finishing in the dark. Three hours of classic motorcycle endurance racing by more than 30 teams of each two riders on a road track in Elst, Gelderland, The Netherlands, organized by the SAM Motorsport and Classic TT Elst foundations, sponsored by many local companies and made possible by the help of many volunteers.
Demonstration races are won by setting the most consistent lap times instead of just finishing first, which can be a lot more challenging than the kind of racing we are used to. Try driving the same lap times by day and by night AND as a team. But anyway, it was great to watch those riders, especially after sunset.

In this sculpture, painting's basic building block, the brushstroke, has been playfully transformed into an oversized, three-dimensional form. Made from aluminum, three vertical "strokes" of pure color are frozen in space and rise to a height of more than ten feet. One edge of the yellow brushstroke cuts through the dominant stroke of black and blue; the yellow also curves into a diminutive stroke of red paint.
Each brushstroke is a fully realized three-dimensional form that, somewhat implausibly, allows the viewer to experience a stroke of paint from different vantage points. The sculpture humorously reminds us that paint is literally three-dimensional.
Roy Lichtenstein first explored brushstrokes as a subject in a series of paintings initiated in 1965. As with many of his works, he used a comic book source--a panel of an artist at work from Strange Suspense Stories --as the basis for his brushstrokes. The subject became one of the artist's most recognizable images and he would return regularly to the brushstroke motif for more than thirty years. In the early 1980s, Lichtenstein began creating sculptural brushstrokes.
These three crows sat, panting, in the Texas heat. It was 100+ degrees F. again today and the air is heavy.

The Three Pagodas Pass links the town of Sangkhlaburi in the north of Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand, to the town of Payathonsu in the south of Kayin State, Myanmar.
This pass has been the main land route into western Thailand since ancient times, and is believed be the point at which Buddhist teachings reached the country from India in the 3rd century. During the Ayutthaya period in Thai history (14th-18th centuries), the pass was the main invasion route for the Burmese (the first of such was the Burmese invasion in 1548).
The pass is named for three small, crumbling pagodas (chedis) which were probably built at the end of this period as a symbol of peace. They are now on the Thai side of the border. Parts of the border are still disputed.
During World War II, Japan built the infamous Death Railway through the pass. There is a memorial to commemorate the thousands of Australian prisoners of war who (with other Allied prisoners and Asian civilians) died as forced labourers in the construction of the railway.
The region is home to several hill tribes, including Karens and Mons, who are unable or unwilling to obtain citizenship from either countries. Separatist armies have repeatedly tried to take seize of the pass from Burma, with the Mons in effective control until 1990, when Burmese troops regained it.

"Three easy sauces team with chicken livers and bacon. A natural for pork, Jiffy Mustard Sauce mounds with fluffiness. 1-2-3 Sauce enhances the flavor of almost any meat, and Caper Sauce is the snappy sister to a tartare."
They were a bit like posing, at least they were cute even if the background isn't that nice...
