I had the opportunity to walk the arm to the torch platform back in the late 60s before they closed it. Epic....don't know if they have re-opened access but it is something you will remember for the rest of your life.

That is so cool, JB. I remember seeing the picture before but it has been years.

Where did all the jets go? Yesterday the local general aviation airport was crawling with them. All that was left this afternoon was a lonely Citation. Must have been something going on around here.

Come to think of it, yeah. That may explain all of these things too.

Her husband told her it was one of seven made and worth $250000. Showed her a Hemmings with 8 for sale, and at the time fully restored cars were selling for about $100k. Offered her $60k as the car only had 34k kms. on the clock, and had been parked since 1964. Still wonder who ever got it, because I'm sure she died still owning it.




WOW, that is beautiful

MORE random pics......

Due to my mothers chicken collection that has gotten totally out of control at their ranch. As a joke this past Christmas, I got her one of these annoying but funny rubber chickens.





The wife just showed me this video and I nearly shat myself because I was laughing so hard.....
