I save all the mail that friends and relatives send me, so this page was fairly simple, but still very fun.

These are the remains of a 17th century ship. It was wrecked around 1700 on the Zuiderzee. After the land was reclamed many of these ships have been found on the former sea bottom. This on is now on display in the Nieuw Land museum in Lelystad.
What was a nice boat wrecked on the beach at Aberaeron on the weekend after raging floods ripped it from its mooring in the harbour
Contrary to the report in the local newspaper the car hit the front of a printers shop and slightly damaged the building which you can see the brick dust on the car bumper. The occupants didn't appear to be that badly hurt although they were lucky the airbags deployed.

Just before I went to ACen 2014, I got an opportunity to see Wreck-It Ralph. I liked the movie, which combined a cute story with the video games I grew up with (now I feel old). So it was neat to see a Wreck-It cosplay at the con.
For those of you unfamiliar with Wreck-It Ralph, Ralph is a video game villain who really doesn't want to be one. He attempts to escape from his life, which wreaks havoc on the video game world. On the course of his journey, he runs into Vanelope van Schweetz, a glitch character in the universe, and they end up teaming up. Ralph's power is that he can, well, wreck things with his oversized fists.
I thought this was a good cosplay; one of the things I look for in cosplay are the little details. Ralph has Vanelope's gift to him (a cookie) around his neck, which is an important plot point in the movie--that's a nice addition.
I've covetted this book for months but needed a big enough order to get free delivery before ordering. I'm hoping to use it as inspiration for my PAD'10 and deal with some of my OCD tendancies too!

The Garden Island Ships' Graveyard, in the North Arm of the Port Adelaide River, offers paddlers a chance to experience part of South Australia's early maritime history.
The 26 wrecks at Garden Island are part of one of the world's largest and most diverse ships' graveyards. Boasting the remains of sailing ships, steamers, motor vessels, ferries,
barges, dredgers and pontoons, the site provides a unique glimpse into our past.
The mudflats the wrecks lay on are bounded by mangroves – one of the few remaining systems in metropolitan Adelaide. This eco-system provides a habitat for dolphins, other
marine creatures and bird species, enhancing a recreational paddler's experience.
The trail is marked by three on-water signs near the main group of wrecks, as well as two on-land signs at the Garden Island boat ramp.
The schooner rigged screw steamer Enterprise was built in 1868 by Joseph Matthew of Sydney, with original measurements of 49.6 feet (15.1 m) in length, 11.4 feet (3.5 m) breadth
and 5.6 feet (1.7 m) depth. In 1872 the iron hulled vessel was lengthened to 78.7 feet (24.0 m) with 12.5 feet (3.8 m) breadth, 5.2 feet (1.6 m) depth and a gross tonnage of 36 tons.
The Enterprise was initially used for towing small craft around the ports of Sydney and later Adelaide, but was also involved in two significant communications developments in South
Australia's colonial history. In 1873 the steamer was engaged at Roper River in the Northern Territory, transporting supplies for the construction of the Overland Telegraph. In the late
1870s the Enterprise proceeded to the River Murray to assist with the building of the railway bridge across the river at Murray Bridge. It grounded at the Murray Mouth and was
delayed almost 10 weeks before being successfully refloated.
The steamer later returned to Port Adelaide as a general purpose vessel. Upon its deregistration in 1913, the Enterprise became a water-tender for a short time, before it was
eventually abandoned at the Garden Island Ships' Graveyard around August 1913. Today the remains lie largely hidden among the mangroves. The hull is basically complete along its
length with an intact stern section.
