This Wreck really gave me some vertico few times and I had to focus on the path the bubbles went to figure out what was up and what was down.
This is the wreck that brought Life Flight to our parking lot last night.

PASADENA, Texas -- A driver was critically hurt when he crashed his vehicle into a house, KPRC Local 2 reported.
Pasadena police said the driver hit a light pole on San Augustine Avenue at about 5:30 a.m.
The vehicle then hit a tree and spun into the bedroom of a home, police said.
The 25-year-old driver suffered head injuries and was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in critical condition.
Geologists believe that the rocks in this area have experienced a mid-continental collision beginning some 1.1 billion years ago. Mountain building was followed by millions of years of erosion. Some 450 million years ago a marine sea flooded this area leaving deposits of limestone, yet non of these thick deposits have survived the subsequent erosion on Wreck Island.
Glaciation has also contributed to sculpting the park’s landscape. Continental glaciation finished the job of removing the last traces of soft limestone. The last sheet covered the Wreck Island area approximately 60,000 years ago, however, it was 14,000 years ago that an event far to the north of Hudson Bay would leave a lasing record on the island. A catastrophic release of glacial meltwater occurred, releasing a huge quantity of debris-laden water with “nowhere to go”. Ice still covered this part of Georgian Bay, including Wreck Island, as the water rushed southward. It travelled beneath the ice under tremendous pressure. The water was able to push up the base of the glacier and travel along the ground. The rushing torrents was filled with sharp grit, cobbles and boulders. This torrent attacked the rock surfaces of Wreck Island much like a giant sand blaster, resulting in the erosional processes evident today.

So I was outside in the parking lot in front of my apartment complex the other day, and I was looking for something to take a picture of. While this was going on, a pizza delivery guy pulled in and stopped. I paid no attention, and was not surprised when I saw his car start to move out of the corner of my eye.
I was surprised, however, when instead of driving off, the car merely careened into a parked truck. It made a rather loud noise, and I was directly on the opposite side of the truck. I stand up, and the first thing I see is the pizza guy still standing at the door of a nearby apartment staring in disbelief.
The poor guys car had rolled right on without him and unfortunately had rolled straight into someone else's vehicle. Although if the truck wasn't there, it would have pickup up more speed and rammed into something else, so maybe it was a good thing. But it scared me.
Anyway, I got a few pictures and decided I had had enough picture taking for that day.

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.
