OH MY GOD!!! I just saw this photo for the first time in YEARS. I had to share my embarrassment ;)
My hair was done by my mom (hence the POOF) for years, and the outfit choice was done by my dad, hence the picnic table cloth I seem to be wearing ;) hahaha.
It's amazing what changes? I was 3 feet tall and 11 pounds and had freckles and blonde hair! AH!
Hope you find this as funny as i did ;)

I could waste a lot of words trying to describe this car, so I won't. If you want to find out everything you'd want to know, use the following (excellent) link. Howstuffworks - what an awesome site.
auto.howstuffworks.com/1969-1973-imperial2.htm
And, if you don't want to know everything, the things you might want to know are these:
This is a very big car. At launch, it set the record for US post-WWII non-Limousine length at 229.7 inches (5,834 mm). The model was the first year of the fuselage look, and borrowed the rear 2/3 of the car from the Chrysler C-Body, a departure from Imperial having their own platform and bodies.
The Imperial also had a pretty big engine a 440 CID V8 (7.2L) - a long-serving powerplant unique to the Imperial division of Chrysler.
The Imperial was also expensive (over $6,000). Though 1969 was the third best sales year for Imperial (22,000 cars), sales of the following two years would halve, challenging Chrysler's ability to continue to invest in the stand-along marque.
Personally, I love this fuselage styling - and the bigger the better to set the period tone. The car is probably near unmanagable in today's traffic, but would look great on a long sweeping mid-century driveway and modernist architecture.
This 1969 Imperial LeBaron Hardtop Sedan has been created to celebrate Flickr LUGNuts' 11th anniversary to the 99th Build Challenge theme, - "Land Yachts", - a theme focused on large (mainly US-built) cars post WWII, and pre-fuel crisis.
Two weeks after the second trip into Zambia we headed out again, this time for Mulobezi with 12th Class 204, recovered and ready with additional water and coal supplies.
This was the third attempt to reach Mulobezi in 1994.

The Third Bowl
“Once there was a woman who lived a long life making pottery for our village. She made the cups with which we toasted 'good health' to each other, the plates on which we ate together to celebrate or grieve, and the bowls in which we shared our food with the holy ones who helped nourish our souls. One day she realized her body was in its last days of service to her and she decided to make three more bowls. She made them beautiful, identical, and with love.
Three friends came to her side as she rested her final day in this world, already past the point of speaking. The bowls were next to her with a note: 'Please take one of these with you.' The symbols on the bowls meant, 'May this work continue to be of service after I am gone'. Now the story becomes three stories because each bowl served in a different way.
The friend who took the first bowl thought it was too pretty to use and set it high on a shelf with many other lovely things. It was seldom noticed and years later was broken as someone tried to clean the dust from it, ending its story.
The second visitor to the potter was a teacher who brought the bowl to school. The children enjoyed it, drew it, were inspired to make bowls like it -- a few even became potters. Their images and bowls served many people. This second bowl served its purpose and started many stories before it was broken as well.
I was the third visitor and a young man with no idea of what to do with the third bowl. I had no fancy shelf and no students, and did not need a bowl for myself. I resolved to find a good use for it. As a bowl can be used many ways, I asked friends and neighbors to write what they needed on slips of paper in the bowl.
To my surprise, some of the notes did not ask to use the bowl, but were offers of other things people had to give. At first, I matched up needs with offers one by one. In time the bowl overflowed; people learned how to ask for the help they needed and how to give when they had more than enough. So, we all began instead to meet once in a while to help each other however we could. This attitude has became a part of daily life, and now even meetings are not needed.
As I myself now have lived a long life it is time to send the bowl on its way. I decided to give the bowl to my next visitor to take it home and find its new purpose. The first bowl was never more than a vision; the second achieved everything a bowl can be; the third has changed us all. Thank you for your visit. It is you who will decide what happens now in the story of the third bowl.”

This GE AC44C6M sits third in line on the motive power of this parked intermodal train. I was driving through the town of Greencastle PA when I saw these engines sitting idle, so I swung in to take a couple pictures before getting back on my way north.
The Third Silesian Uprising was the last and largest and longest of the three uprisings.
The Third Silesian Uprising began on May 2–3, 1921, with Polish destruction of German rail bridges in order to thwart immediate German measures to suppress the uprising. A particular concern was to prevent a recurrence of the many acts of violence that had been perpetrated against the populace by German paramilitary groups, the Freikorps, which had ostensibly been created to support the German border-protection police. The Freikorps comprised mostly volunteers and demobilised German soldiers.
After an initial success of the insurgents, taking over a large portion of the area of Upper Silesia, the German Grenzschutz several times resisted the attacks of Wojciech Korfanty's Polish troops, some cases in cooperation with British and Italian troops. An attempt on the part of the British troops to take steps against the Polish forces was prevented by General Jules Gratier, the French commander-in-chief of the Allied troops. Eventually, the insurgents kept most of territory they had won, including the local industrial district. They proved that they could mobilize large amounts local support, while the German forces based outside Silesia were barred from taking an active part in the conflict.
Twelve days after the outbreak of the insurrection Korfanty offered to take his troops behind a line of demarcation (the "Korfanty Line"), conditional upon the released territory not being re-occupied by German forces, but by Allied troops. It was not, however, until July 1 that the British troops arrived in Upper Silesia and began to advance in company with those of the other Allies towards the former frontier. Simultaneously with this advance the 'Inter-Allied Commission' pronounced a general amnesty for the illegal actions committed during the insurrection, with the exception of acts of revenge and cruelty. The German Grenzschutz was withdrawn and disbanded.

With most of the nation in a deep freeze, it was almost criminal to enjoy the fine weather Southern California was blessed with the first weekend of the new decade.
And believe me, a lot of Socal's were doing just that. This beach in Malibu wasn't my intended destination but the traffic was so heavy heading south toward Santa Monica, I knew I'd never make it to the spot I had in mind before the sun went down, so when I saw the first Coastal Access sign as I drove north along PCH, I quickly pulled over and ran across the road to the beach.
I was hoping for more rocks and boulders for foreground composition -- heck ANY rocks would have been nice, but you take what you can get when you're just winging it.
I do like the textures in the sand left by the gently lapping surf.
