Rio Negro (black river) is like iced tea. Water floods an area full of leaves and organic matter and steeps until the water takes on a tea-like color.

Rio Solimoes is faster moving and carries silt/sediment, so looks like someone added cream to their coffee/tea. When the 2 rivers meet, it takes a while for them to combine due to

Confluence of Rio Negro and Rio Solimões near Manaus, Brazil. Taken by me.


Not taken by me but same place.

Thanks, the Amazon (right after the rainy season at the peak of it's high water phase) was an amazing place.

Actually, I think he was supposed to be a pile of poo, but I get it, the part where he uses his tongue to catch a fly (flying around the pile of poo that he is) was confusing to me too.

I'd forgotten how amazing Kelly Lebrock was.

Rear doesn't even look like a 914, wrong rear light buckets, wrong rear quarter shape
fire wall in wrong spot,
roll cage like that could neve bet installed on a 914

You got to love the blue tape walk-thru on new construction homes...

At the new home orientation, I give new buyers green tape for drywall touchups and blue tape for paint touchups, but I’ve never seen it that bad.

That said, stairwells get beat up a lot, from material going up and down the stairs.

I had one of those. At the time they had an out-of-control 3 YO and a 1YO. I could see the stair walls paint lasting a week. Yet these nouveau riche pukes wanted perfection.

I saw $18,000 spent on oak floor repair and refinishing and a slew of plastic toys and crap spread out all over on a subsequent visit. I never did like working for new money. Worst customers you can have.

Old money was a pleasure, mostly.
