A passenger in this red pickup truck was taken to the Medical Center of South Arkansas for observation Wednesday evening after it slammed into the back of a semi-truck that was stopped in front of the Mobil Station on U.S. 82 waiting to turn into the truck stop. The driver of the pickup, Robert Paul Phillips of 170 Razorback Road, El Dorado, was cited for following too close. The woman passenger in the pickup didn't appear to be badly injured,according to a state trooper, but was not wearing a seat belt and hit her head on the windshield.
maybe two blocks up hyperion there was this second wreck. my mind instantly constructed a narrative tie between the two wrecks, a robbery, the resulting car chase, a fatal crash...turns out the two wrecks were totally unrelated, no one died, just some kids driving too fast and some radiator fluid and a few airbags were expended...
This was a light blue 1958 Edsel ranger 2 door hardtop. It was broadsided near Salt Lake City, Utah back in 1973 and has been sitting in someone's back yard ever since. As bad as this car looks, the front clip is excellent and the engine still starts up and runs!

If anyone knows the artist(s)...
I have seen such cool ones on flickr that I thought I would like to try one. I think it will be good for me. So far I have mostly been doodling, tracing things from my pocket, scratching bits of it, and chewing one page enthusiastically as per instructions.
The Atlantis company bought a couple of airplanes from a bankrupt airline and sunk them so we had something to look at and also for something to attract coral and fish.
The wreck of the Peter Iredale.
The Peter Iredale, a four-masted barque of iron and steel construction, sits rusting on the Oregon Coast, near the town of Warrenton.
Built in 1890, in Maryport, England, the Peter Iredale began its final trip in Salina Cruz, Mexico in September of 1906. Empty, after offloading its cargo of sacked wheat, it was bound for Portland, Oregon where it was to pick up another cargo of wheat for delivery in England when disaster struck.
Early on the morning of 25 October 1906, while awaiting daylight and a Columbia River pilot, it was blown ashore on this Oregon beach, just a couple miles south of the river mouth. It's been here ever since.
No deaths or serious injuries were reported. The captain and his crew have the Point Adams rescue boat squad to thank for delivering them to the beach, where a toast by the captain to their newly wrecked ship turned into quite the party with several of the crew understandably drinking to the point of serious inebriation.
An inquiry later found the captain to be blameless for the mishap.
No casualties, no lost cargo, nobody to fault, and a beach party makes this somewhat of a happy shipwreck as shipwrecks go. It immediately became an Oregon Coast tourist attraction, which it still is, and it's now said to be the most photographed shipwreck in history.

I used a KITE to fly the camera.
