Great sights bus 186 coming into Athol Street Queenstown for the start of the road trip to Franz Josef on the morning of 30 March 2024
If you're like me, it's hard to get moving in the morning before you've had your morning coffee. You need that jolt of caffeine to get the cobwebs out. Sometimes caffienated soft drinks can be substituted in a pinch, but who wants to drink 3-4 cans of soda in the morning to equal one cup of coffee? It's just too dilute, not to mention the complete lack of the sensual steamy goodness of a nice hot cup of coffee.
For me, nothing beats coffee, but there are alternatives. As I said, soda is generally easy to come by. In addition, many "energy drinks" on the market have caffeine levels approaching coffee. What does a caffeine addict do, however, when carrying or consuming drinks is not practical? A variety of caffienated candies have come onto the market for just that reason. I tried my first caffienated candy (excluding chocolate) several years ago. I was in the check out line in a book store when I spied a dapper looking little tin of mints, similar in size to an altoids tin. It had a penguin on the front, with white and yellow stripes bursting radially from the penguin's location at the center of the hinged lid. As a coffee user and and an altoid user, I was excited by the combination. I soon found, however, that the levels of caffeine were much too low to get the kind of lift I was looking for without constant mint-sucking.
Fast forward to several days ago. I was in a computer super-center waiting for a friend who was picking up some "free with rebate" merchandise. Next to the register was a display of small blue tins with the name "Bawls" printed on the front. It's a name that is well known in geek circles as a strong pick-me-up soft drink. The candy on the shelf advertized itself as "highly caffeinated", so I decided to give it a try. The "mints" which actually tasted more like sweet tarts, were slightly fizzy. They were tasty, but I suspected that the "highly caffeinated" claim was a little exaggerated.
Once again, a quick web search revealed all the answers. The penguin mints, whose potency I had been less than impressed with actually contained 7mg of caffeine per piece, compared with 5mg per candy in the bawls mints. The bawls mints, however, had a flavor that may be more conducive to chain-eating.
So what? My conclusion is that these caffeinated candies are OK for actual, caffeine intake, but only if eaten in large numbers. I suppose they are also a neat novelty, and the "highly caffeinated" claim enhances the placebo effect. As an alternative, however, for a potent "dry" caffeine source try chocolate covered espresso beans. Do be careful, though. Only you are responsible for what you put into your body and what happens when you do. It is much too easy to eat too many of these tasty treats for your own good, as I found out after a visit to Hershey's Chocolate World. Be safe, and enjoy.

It was a common sight in my travels in India to see poor villages like this as we sped down the highway.
The following day our luck had improved, and we arrived in Atlanta with a four hour layover to pass. Frisbee at the gate seemed like a good idea until Kevin's near-decapitation of a security guard was prevented and loudly disclosed by Jake. Predicting the need for liquid entertainment on the flight, a key duty-free purchase was made and we proceeded to watch Mexico play their 2nd round World Cup game from a sub-bogey airport restaurant.
Back at the gate, Kevin was emboldened by going a record 20 hours without sighting any ex-girlfriends or their mothers, and struck up a conversation with an attractive girl from our flight who we convinced to take this classic photo. The conversation went a record 6 sentences before she mentioned an alleged "boyfriend" she was meeting up with in Amsterdam. We boarded the plane and, 8 stealth rum and cokes later, the dinner was delicious and even a movie about Paul Walker and sled dogs was entertaining.
I was on a photo walk on Michigan Avenue in Chicago when I saw this living statue woman. I parked myself off to the side and waited, figuring I'd get some interesting reaction shots. This was one that I grabbed.
UPDATE: After some investigation, I found her Facebook page. Her name is Diana Westwood and I would encourage everyone to check her out…and “like” her. Her page can be found here:

She’s really quite good.

This blue-glass sculpture encouraged interaction. As you walked through the maze, sounds and lights in the floor detected your movement and played along. By following a path you could create a tune from the various tones.
Experimenting with a few things for my next Uni project. Thinking about looking at sight, touch and flight using this style just trying to think of more ideas but I liked how this turned out just a practice image from my phone.
Sight of this plane attracted my attention. I thought in this YPT-6A's looks there's some likeliness to the Soviet Po-2. Both sport five-cylinder radial engines.

A pretty bad picture of what the sight on my m4 looks like. It is a dot with a circle around it and on the top, bottom, left and right of the circle it has lines pointed straight out. Here is a really bad representation of what it is. (Ignore the periods they are just for spacing.)

Second prototype archery sight developed by Rein-o-King Industries under the company name TAS or Tactical Archery Systems. This is a revolutionary bow sight that uses reflex technology to project the pins onto a lens and by doing so gives the user point of impact tracking which will give the shooter instant feedback to weather he/she is having any bow torque or changes in anchor point. This sight can also eliminate the need for a peep sight or alows the shooter to look around the peep if there is any peep turn during full draw. Look for this sight to be on the market by next archery season.
