Taal Lake.

I have pulled into the Philippines many, many times and we would often fly out of Cubi Point and Taal was always a great overflight.

In the 1983 film “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” the entrance to the fictional amusement park Walley World was actually filmed at the Santa Anita Race Track located in Arcadia, California.






A Texaco service station in Oklahoma City in the 1940s.Now Oklahoma has no Texaco stations that I know of.

I'm guessing the bottom of the crater affected area is that deep, but the crater is not that deep, if you get what I'm saying.

The deepest part of this animation is what they are calling the "bottom" or deepest part, but the earth in the crater is mostly filled in.



The Gulf of Mex isn't that deep there these days.

Also called a double carden joint or a cv joint. The 2 u joints together cancel each others speed oscillations and act like a cv joint. The joint allows more driveshaft angle and is usually accompanied by a differential rotated up to near zero u joint angle at the other end of the driveshaft.

The beefsteak fungus (Fistulina hepatica), also known as the ox tongue, is a mushroom that can be found primarily on oak or chestnut tree trunks.
