You're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
Maybe you been watching me, too
So somebody ran out
Left somebody's heart in a mess
Well, if you're looking for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
[Verse 2]
Some girls, they want a handsome Dan
Or some good-lookin' Joe on their arm
Some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well, 'round here, baby
I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
[Bridge]
The road is dark
And it's a thin thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time
Maybe your other boyfriends
Couldn't pass the test
Well, if you're rough and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest. Verse 3]
Well, it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well, I don't know baby maybe you've been around too
Well, there's another dance
All you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love
Baby, I'm tougher than the rest m.youtube.com/watch?v=_91hNV6vuBY

2. He was born on the same day as my fav person in the universe - my mom (9/23)
3. This song rocks so much I hate it ! (In a good way)
Would even play it at the wedding somewhere under the Brooklyn Bridge
Real Earths have curves - which are obvious even at turboprop altitudes. A soothing and humbling view of the distant horizon as it stretches along the Tyrrhenian Sea, broken only by the sharp mountains of southern Corsica...

Most well known for manufacturing tractors, IH was also a manufacturer of trucks and SUVs from 1907 to 1985 when the company dropped Harvester from its name and became International. Based in Lisle, Illinois, United States.
Vehicle names used by International Harvester throughout history include: 900, 1100, 1200, 1300, D2000, F-210, K-1, K-2, K-3, K-4, K-5, K-6, K-7, K-8, LoadStar, M800, R-172, RF192, Scout, Scout II, Travelall, and Travelette.
The International Harvester Company (abbreviated first IHC and later IH) (now known as Navistar International Corporation) was a United States manufacturer of agricultural machinery, construction equipment, trucks, and household and commercial products. In 1902, J.P. Morgan merged the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and Deering Harvester Company, along with three smaller agricultural equipment firms, to form International Harvester. In 1985, International Harvester sold off most of its agricultural division to Tenneco, Inc., which merged it into its subsidiary J.I. Case under the Case IH brand. Following the terms of IH's agreement with Tenneco, International Harvester renamed itself Navistar International Corporation in 1986.
The roots of International Harvester run to the 1830s, when Cyrus Hall McCormick, an inventor from Virginia, finalized his version of a horse-drawn reaper, which he field-demonstrated throughout 1831, and for which he received a patent in 1834. Together with his brother Leander J. McCormick (1819–1900), McCormick moved to Chicago in 1847 and started the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. The McCormick reaper sold well, partially as a result of savvy and innovative business practices. Their products came onto the market just as the development of railroads offered wide distribution to distant market areas. He developed marketing and sales techniques, developing a vast network of trained salesmen able to demonstrate operation of the machines in the field.
McCormick died in 1885, with his company passing to his son, Cyrus McCormick, Jr., whose antipathy and incompetence toward organized labor sparked the Haymarket affair, the origin of May Day as a labor holiday. In 1902, the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and Deering Harvester Company, along with three smaller agricultural equipment firms (Milwaukee Harvesting Machine Co., Plano Manufacturing Co., and Warder, Bushnell, and Glessner—manufacturers of Champion brand) merged to create the International Harvester Company. Banker J.P. Morgan provided the financing. In 1919, the Parlin and Orendorff factory in Canton, Illinois, was a leader in the plow manufacturing industry. International Harvester purchased the factory, calling it the Canton Works; it continued production for many decades.
Light duty trucks
IH is often remembered as a maker of relatively successful and innovative "light" lines of vehicles, competing directly against the Big Three. The most common were Pickup trucks. IH made light trucks from 1907 to 1975, beginning with the Model A Auto Wagon (sometimes called the "Auto Buggy"). Production commenced in February 1907 at IH's McCormick Works in Chicago, although production was moved to Akron, Ohio, in October that year. Powered by a horizontally opposed, air-cooled twin around 15 hp (11 kW), it was a right-hand-drive model popular in rural areas for high ground clearance on the poor roads typical of the era. It featured a rear seat convertible to a carrier bed. The Auto Wagon was renamed the Motor Truck in 1910, and was a forerunner to the successful modern pickup truck. They were called IHC until 1914, when the 'International' name was first applied. The final light line truck was made on May 5, 1975.
IH also had early success with the Auto Buggy, which started production in February 1907. In the mid-1940s, International released their K and KB series trucks, which were more simplistic than other trucks released in that era. This was followed by the L Series in 1949, which was replaced by the R Series in 1952, followed by the S line in 1955. In 1957, to celebrate IH's golden anniversary as a truck manufacturer, this was replaced by the new A line. 'A' stands for anniversary. With light modifications to its appearance but more serious changes under the shell (and a number of new names), this design continued in production until replaced by the 1100D in late 1969, which looked very similar to the Scout.
Corresponding with the truck "letter lines" was the Metro line of step (delivery) vans. Starting in 1938 and manufactured through 1975, the Metro series was produced and updated with each iteration of IH's truck lines. Also, special-use variants were sold, such as the Metro Coach (a bus version with windows and passenger seats) and Metro front-end section and chassis for full commercial customization. Additional variants were based on the medium-duty engine and chassis lines.
One of the company's light-duty vehicles was the Travelall, which was similar in concept to the Chevrolet Suburban. The Travelette was a crew cab, available in two or four-wheel drive. A three-door version was available starting in 1957, and a four-door version was available starting in 1961. The 1961 Travelette four-door (crew cab) was the first six-passenger, four-door truck of its time. The Scout, first introduced in 1961, is a small, two-door SUV, similar to a Jeep. In 1972, the Scout became the Scout II, and in 1974 Dana 44 axles, power steering, and power disc brakes became standard. After the Light Line pickups and Travelall were discontinued in 1975, the Scout Traveler and Terra became available, both with a longer wheelbase than a standard Scout II.
IH abandoned sales of passenger vehicles in 1980 to concentrate on commercial trucks and school buses. Today, the pickups, Travelalls, and Scouts are minor cult orphaned vehicles. All were also available as rugged four-wheel drive off-road vehicles.
The Scout and Light Truck parts business was sold to Scout/Light Line Distributors, Inc. in 1991.
Medium/heavy duty
IH was an early manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Although based upon truck chassis, IH also became the leading manufacturer of the chassis portion of body-on-chassis conventional (type C) school buses. In 1962, IH offered the International Harvester Loadstar which became the premier medium-duty truck. In 1978, IH offered the International Harvester S-Series, which replaced the Loadstar in 1979.
With the truck and engine divisions remaining following the 1985 sale of the agricultural division, International Harvester Company changed their corporate name to Navistar International in 1986. Today, Navistar International's subsidiary, International Truck and Engine Corporation, manufactures and markets trucks and engines under the International brand name.
The Ford Power Stroke engine was manufactured by International Truck and Engine Corporation in Indianapolis, Ind., for use in Ford heavy-duty trucks, vans, and SUVs.
Military
IH manufactured light, medium, and heavy vehicles for military use. Examples include a Metro van sold to the Czechoslovakian Army in 1938, as M5 Tractors and 2.5-ton M-5H-6 trucks for the US Navy and Marines in 1942, and around 3,500 2.5 ton M-5-6-318 cargo trucks provided mostly to Soviet Union and China.

The Rise and Fall of International Harvester
The history of International Harvester reaches back to the early 1830s, when Cyrus McCormick invented a mechanical reaper that could replace many laborers working with harvesting scythes. By 1847, McCormick was building the reaper at the McCormick Harvesting Works in Chicago, which, in 1902, merged with the Deering Harvester Co. and three smaller firms to form International Harvester Corp. (IHC).
By the mid 1920s, IHC was building “Farmall” farm tractors and went on to develop a range of agricultural equipment. IHC’s truck roots go back to the 1907 Auto Wagon, leading to producing not only highway trucks, but also such notable vehicles as the Scout and Travel-All. Along the way, IHC added construction machines (and the engines to power them), including crawlers, scrapers, off-highway trucks, and wheel loaders, the latter via the 1952 purchase of the Frank G. Hough Co. IHC’s Solar Div. in California added gas-turbine engines to the product portfolio.
In 1978, IHC was near the top of the Fortune 500 list of largest companies, but by late 1979, IHC’s fortunes began to decline, precipitated perhaps by a devastating strike, but coupled with a downturn in the global economy and increasing competition. By 1984, the company had been essentially broken apart and sold. IHC’s Truck Div., however, has lived on successfully, becoming Navistar International Corp., which manufacturers commercial trucks under the International brand.
Most of IHC’s construction-equipment lines were sold to Dresser. In 1988, Dresser and Komatsu formed Komatsu-Dresser Co., a 50/50 joint venture that produced construction and mining equipment in North America. In 1994, Komatsu purchased full control of Komatsu-Dresser Co., renaming the organization Komatsu America International Co. The core of IHC’s crawler lines, however, came to rest under the “Dressta” trade name, produced by Huta Stalowa Wola, an IHC licensee in Poland since 1972. Dressta is now a LiuGong brand.
IHC sold its agricultural lines to Case in 1984, creating Case International, part of the CNH Global group under Fiat ownership. IHC’s Solar Div. was sold to Caterpillar, which continues to build industrial gas turbines.
IHC claimed a number of product distinctions in its day, including the 1964 all-wheel-drive PH180 Payhauler, a 45-ton-capacity truck with same-size dual wheels at each corner. The success of the 180 prompted the company to develop several other Payhauler models, including the 50-ton-capacity PH350. When IHC divested its construction equipment division, the Payhauler line was sold to a group of employees who formed Payhauler Corp., which continued to produced the distinctive truck and remanufacture older models until 1998, when Terex purchased the company.

This gas station is where I usually get my fuel.
From what I’ve heard in the news , California and Hawaii has the most expensive gas in the nation
Ein stiller Blick durch das Fenster.
Die Welt draußen noch vom Morgenlicht berührt, der Garten wie gemalt – festgehalten mit der Leica D-LUX App.
⠀
Es sind genau diese kleinen Augenblicke, die Geschichten erzählen – ohne Worte.
Das Licht. Die Stille. Die Perspektive.
⠀
Fensterblicke wie dieser erinnern uns daran, dass Schönheit oft ganz nah ist – man muss nur hinschauen.

Womit wurde fotografiert?
Leica D-LUX App – weil auch digitale Schnappschüsse Seele haben können.

Sometimes we are so eager to travel the world and see new places on the map that we forget that the best scenery can be found in our very own backyard.
Explored on March 25, 2009. Flickr Explore has seen my sunset 3 times in a week ^^
Maybe I have seen the sunset 44 times in a week. ^^This is the real view from my window, if you have seen the pink sunset.
And Thursday should always be orange color if I can :)
"Oh, little prince! Bit by bit I came to understand the secrets of your sad little life . . . For a long time you had found your only entertainment in the quiet pleasure of looking at the sunset. I learned that new detail on the morning of the fourth day, when you said to me:
"I am very fond of sunsets. Come, let us go look at a sunset now."
"But we must wait," I said.
"Wait? For what?"
"For the sunset. We must wait until it is time."
At first you seemed to be very much surprised. And then you laughed to yourself. You said to me:
"I am always thinking that I am at home!"
Just so. Everybody knows that when it is noon in the United States the sun is setting over France.
If you could fly to France in one minute, you could go straight into the sunset, right from noon. Unfortunately, France is too far away for that. But on your tiny planet, my little prince, all you need do is move your chair a few steps. You can see the day end and the twilight falling whenever you like . . .
"One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!"
Today, I walked through an empty shell of a building that I get to turn into our new retail space. I absolutely love this red window wall, but I know I will be have to select a neutral paint color. Red is not a "corporate color". DARN!
