We drove through Custer SP a few years ago, we didn't get out of the car.

I know this is not a photo thread, but I have to share these from this morning, shot through glass and open mini blinds.
A male cardinal with bird leucism.
Hope Rupert is peeking in.

. . . I've defied Darwin on occasion but I never wanted to be a meat puddle
I will admit that I got closer than I should have to a small herd in Yellowstone this May

but they were all laying down, laying in dust bowls


they were about 15 feet below me and the closest one was twenty yards away as well

there were other potential targets around me

and when any of the bison lifted its head and looked at me, i paid special attention to it and my escape route

Aw, man ... We have a word in German: fremdschämen. To experience a feeling of embarrassment due to someone else doing something embarrassing.

Of course the French have nothing on the Canadians when it comes to trying to get people to stop using tobacco.
From March, this is what all cigarette packaging will look like here. No more branding.

I'm thinking I wanna be buried in a Ford.
While I applaud the thought, kind sir, I do worry about the waste of a good Ford. But feel free to use a Chev any time!

Have you forgotten our friend whom some here call Shirley and who protests about such naming, whose alias ends Poitiers?




I do not regret losing the 42C days from the Clare Valley. I used to live in a different vineyard area not far from there. That weather is part of the climate that is good for the wine flavour intensity, although too many days like that is destructive of the fruit, but very hard to grow fruit trees. I did that in my backyard, had about 25 trees and most years there was extreme weather that damaged something, and depending what time the extreme weather came, which fruit was spoiled.

The bottom row were Paul Hogan's favourite - at least evidenced by his advertising of them.


The ads came at the same time as the Paul Hogan show, with his sidekick Strop, the archetypical village idiot type.

So now England are 3/171 at the SCG after winning the toss and electing to bat. Rather slow scoring given they are coming up to drinks in the final session.


For the uninitiated, 'drinks' does not normally mean that they take pints out to the players, just more 'healthy' fluid imbibables.
