My dad on his Snow Snurfer back in '85 at Ft Devens, Mass. Now that I look at the photo more closely, I noticed his '66 white Toronado in the background. Still have that car in our barn in Tenn.

Derek Bell repairs his Porsche 917K. 1971 Watkins Glen 6 Hours.





And in every movie or TV show the fight scenes show the hero an bad guy punching each other in the face over and over, and all they ever have, as the worst in a small trickle of blood from the corner of their mouth. Yea right.

Saudia Arabia


Our two deprived dachshunds. Sleeping on the couch. That grey blanket is a Porsche design pick-nick blanket. Only the best for them.




I remember those at most all houses in the bad old days of the smokers everywhere.

This likely strikes home with a few Pelicans. It does for me.




Hmmmm. Something looks missing there.

I was at a movie theater when the film broke and the projector shut off. Pretty dark in the theater for a minute or so, then somebody in the back started whistling the theme song to The Andy Griffith Show. There were some gasps and surprise, then I chimed in from the opposite corner of the theater. Within seconds half the audience was whistling. It was a moment.

Oklahoma City




David Attenborough: Pufferfish release a toxin when they puff out that is meant to impair the attacker, so they can safely escape. Ironically, this doesn’t work on dolphins in the same way. It actually gets them high. So they purposely inflate them and pass them around to their dolphin friends for fun.


Gear that the “Angels” of the 511th PIR, 11th Airborne packed for their combat jump onto Tagaytay Ridge, Luzon, January, 1945.
