Good until you're not. People seem to forget how that's worked in the past.

Just curious if drones would be allowed there? You'd get a beautiful shot, but then everyone would be doing it and it would probably be a nightmare.

Definitely! Beautiful birds! The gulls down at Margaret River will swoop off with unattended children much less your chips! 🀣

Some great photos of a happy couple who made the best of a less than ideal wedding day.

How about showing up to give you a quote, doing a walk around, and then ghosting you?

My SIL lives in Perth & my wife & I have visited a couple of times. We love the sound of whatever it is that sounds like a lazy crow, β€œCaaaaawwwah”. Kookaburra calls, though, are an immediate callback to childhood watching cheesy flicks where that call was the stock sound to let you know β€œjungle”.

Mama bear and *four* cubs taking a stroll up our driveway. New Jersey ain’t just the Turnpike and Newark Airport. Welcome to the Skylands.

A sad state of affairs for a storied institution. Harvard is at least putting up a fight… Columbia just rolled over.

I think you’re a bit younger than me but you might want to get your measles checked while you’re at it. Recently had a titer test and found my immunity was non-existent. Had to get a booster. Apparently the vaxxes from the 70s can have that happen.

The lowest state average this week is Mississippi (about the only *good* thing they are lowest at), ~ $2.68. The national average is $3.15. Giving him the benefit of the doubt he’s off by more than 25% for MS & about 36% for the rest of us. Me? I drive an EV & just chuckle as I drive past the pumps.

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Once again, the false equivalency. Logical fallacies 101.

Kind of what I'd suspected for that camp. A surviving counselor, spoke of how they sang songs & prayed. When I was that age (back in the Stone Age) & in the Scouts, "camp" was, among other things, learning basic search, rescue, & lifesaving skills. You know, useful stuff.

Love me some Hall & Oates. One of my favorites from them, too!

PSA to fellow GenXer’s who got their MMR doses way back when. The early measles vaxx may not confer lasting, lifelong immunity! Had a physical & asked my doc about the recent outbreaks & she suggested a titer test as part of my bloodwork. Looks like I’m heading for a booster shot today! Vaxx up! πŸ’‰πŸ‘

Wee sundog!

This site has some great illustrations of all different sorts of ice halos including some rare ones that you might see once in a lifetime. Real cool stuff. Got me looking for them a lot more!

So, what's the track? I like it. And you've got the city captured perfectly there. Having flashbacks. LOL.

I’ve actually done this on a dual monitor setup. The struggle is real.

Any grown man named Tommy Tuberville should be relegated to pumping gas and polishing his one good tooth.

Sherman left the job unfinished down there.
