my wife yells at me when I take pictures of the kids upset, but they are always my favorites on the roll. The issue at hand was not wanting to put on pajamas.

Let me give you another bird... the Snowy's were fighting over territory or just fighting for the heck of it... I don't know. I only wished I would have managed to capture two fighting, but they were so fast and all over the place I am glad I got one in the frame.

‘’The BBC would never be allowed to broadcast any message from Jesus because Jesus told us to love our neighbours and if the arch bishop of Canterbury read the 10 commandments he might upset the Israeli government. And now I say this to you because it is very important that we remember who we are I’ll tell you who we are today we are the human race standing outside the BBC, it doesn’t matter whether you are a Muslim, a Jew, a Christian, a Buddhist, an atheist whether you’re black or white, it doesn’t matter... we are people, and this is the people’s voice demanding justice ......what we are doing today is not just talking to the dot boshes of the BBC I wouldn’t bother with them I’m talking to the journalists and the presenters to all the people who have the opportunity of broadcasting to tell the world how to help the people of Gaza by god they suffered..I know how they feel because I lived in London during the blitz in 1940, 30,000 people were killed in London during that blitz I was a kid at 15 and every night I went to the shelter...I was frightened... I came up in the morning and 500 people were killed where I lived... London burning...the church I went to bombed...and it’s no good pretending that you could ignore that human suffering in the interests of one the BBC call impartiality...how can you be impartial between life and death you can’t be impartial and therefore what we are doing today is of great importance...I think this is a momentous day that will be recorded in the history of the middle east and the history of this country because people like us got together and said we will not allow others to die when we have the opportunity to save their lives....free Palestine! Free Palestine!’’- TONY BENN

It is always a blast to go to the junkyard -- even if the rooster at the front gate crows with disdain at our arrival. This was Julia's first junkyard visit and she actually was impressed. We didn't buy anything today but this is where my husband finds much of the stuff that he uses in his sculptures.
I am very upset with whoever made the decision to put the phone number right there. MCME0411 and MCME0412 are now Wallkill Official.
He is angry because my cat is in the yard below him. His scolding is not much muted by the nut in his mouth.
The 71st Indianapolis 500 was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, on Sunday May 24, 1987. After dominating practice, qualifying, and most of the race, leader Mario Andretti slowed with mechanical problems with only 23 laps to go. Five laps later, Al Unser Sr. assumed the lead, and won his record-tying fourth Indianapolis 500 victory.
Al Unser's victory is considered one of the biggest upsets in Indianapolis 500 history. Unser, whose driving career was beginning to wind down, had dropped down to part-time status a year earlier. He entered the 1987 month of May without a ride and without sponsorship money, which left him on the sidelines for the first week of practice. After Danny Ongais suffered a concussion in a practice crash, Unser was hired by Penske to fill the vacant seat. Unser proceeded to win the race with a year-old March chassis, and the venerable Cosworth DFX, the powerplant's tenth consecutive Indy victory. Unser's car, originally entered as a back-up, had been sitting in a hotel lobby in Reading, Pennsylvania, as a show car just weeks prior.
During the offseason, three-time Indy 500 winner (1970, 1971, 1978), and three-time national champion (1970, 1983, 1985) Al Unser Sr. retired from full-time driving duties. Unser had been driving for Penske from 1983 to 1986, and was still interested in driving part-time, particularly at Indianapolis and the other 500-mile races (Michigan and Pocono). Meanwhile, businessman and media mogul Ted Field arranged a deal with Roger Penske to field Indy veteran Danny Ongais in the third Penske entry. Al Unser was unable to secure a ride before the month of May, and arrived at the track unemployed, albeit shopping around for a competitive car.
With 25 laps to go, Mario Andretti held a one-lap lead over second place Roberto Guerrero, and an almost two-lap lead over third place Al Unser, Sr. The field had dwindled down to only 12 cars running, most of which were many laps down. With Rick Mears and Danny Sullivan both out of the race, Roger Penske took over the pit of Al Unser, Sr. As Penske took over Unser's pit stall, Danny Sullivan and Rick Mears stood near Unser's pit stall to watch the race finish and pull for their teammate.
With 20 laps to go, Roberto Guerrero led second place Al Unser, Sr. by almost a full lap. He came upon Unser, Sr. in traffic, and put him a lap down on lap 180. Two laps later, Guerrero went into the pits for his final fuel stop. With his clutch failing from the earlier incident, entering and exiting the pits was becoming increasingly difficult. During the race, Guerrero had also broken third gear. While stopped in the pits, his car became stuck in gear. When refueling was complete, he attempted to pull out of the pits, but the engine stalled. The lifeless car sat on the pit road as Unser, Sr. drove by to take the lead.
With 11 laps to go, Unser Sr. was slowing his pace as rookie Fabrizio Barbazza was holding him back, trying to avoid going 2 laps down. Unser Sr.'s crew asked officials to wave the "blue flag" to order Barbazza to pull over and allow Unser past. Officials waved the blue flag to Barbazza who refused to pull over, until officials threatened to black-flag him.
Mario Andretti's car stalked and coasted to a stop in turn four and brought out the race's final caution on lap 192. The yellow flag bunched up the field, and allowed Guerrero to close the gap on Unser. He lined up only six cars behind Unser, Sr. The green flag came out with four laps to go, and Al Unser, Sr. held off Roberto Guerrero by 4.496 seconds, to win his record-tying fourth Indianapolis 500 victory.
I stood by the exit, turned, shot, and got out at the stop the bus was at, all in about five seconds. It's been two years, and quite honestly, taking mask pics still makes me nervous. I won't lie, I was properly drunk at the time.

I do hope you are not upset by this image and are able to view the beauty of this amazing fish. It has the most beautiful eyes and incredible teeth. When released it swam slowly and gracefully away and with a flick of it's tail went off to hunt for lunch.
(Northern) pike ~ esox lucius
While passing by a fisherman on our local walk he pulled out a huge pike, not once but twice within less than an hour. This gave us an opportunity to look closely at this beautiful fish. The first weighed in at 23lb and the second weighed 24lb. We left him then so I don't know if he carried on fishing or not.
Length and Weight
Pike grow to a relatively large size; lengths of 150 centimetres (59 in) and weights of 25 kilograms (55 lb) are not unheard of. The heaviest specimen known so far was caught in an abandoned stone quarry, in Germany, in 1983. She (the majority of all pikes over 8 kg or 18 lb are females) was 147 cm (58 in) long and weighed 31 kg (68 lb). The longest pike ever recorded was 152 cm (60 in) long and weighed 28 kg (62 lb). Historic reports of giant pike, caught in nets in Ireland in the late 19th century, of 41–42 kg (90–93 lb), were researched by Fred Buller and published in "The Domesday Book of Mammoth Pike". Neither Britain nor Ireland has managed to produce much in the way of giant pike in the last 50 years and as a result there is substantial doubt surrounding those earlier claims.
Feeding
The pike have a very typical hunting behavior, they are able to remain stationary in the water, by just moving the last fin rays of the dorsal fins and the breast fins. Before striking they bend their body and dash out to the prey using the large surface of tail fin, dorsal fin and anal fin to propel themselves. The fish has a distinctive habit of catching its prey sideways in the mouth, immobilising it with its sharp backward pointing teeth, and then turning the prey headfirst to swallow it. It eats mainly fish, but on occasion water voles and ducklings have also been known to fall prey to pike. Young pike have been found dead from choking on a pike of a similar size, an observation referred to by the renowned English poet Ted Hughes in his famous poem 'Pike'. Northern pike also feed on frogs, insects and leeches. They are not very particular and eat spiny fish like perch and will even take sticklebacks if that is the only available prey.
Sport fishing
Pike angling is becoming an increasingly popular pastime in the UK and Europe. Effective methods for catching this hard fighting fish include dead baits, lure fishing, and jerk baiting. They are prized as game fish for their determined fighting and have been food fish since ancient times.
