FUNKY BIKE

Check out this "motorcycle" that was at the car show this past weekend in Hollywood, FL. It has a beer bottle feeding into the gas tank, along with a "water valve", which I'm not sure what either one does, but the bike DID run (on what I'm not sure). Looks like it could be quite an interesting machine when its finished. I'll keep you posted if I see it at the car show again. If the builder is as quick at working on it as I am with my condo renovations, it could be YEARS before we see a finished product..........LOL

CLOWNING AROUND

Here's a shot from the auto show in Hollywood this past Sunday. Always nice to get out and have a little fun. Maria and Jimmy (my girlfriend and her son), decided to do the "face" thing. Ahhhh.........the things we do to get our photo taken!!

VIBRANT COLORS ON THE BEACH

The beach always has nice shots available for the taking. Here's a shot of a beach umbrella that caught my eye. The colors are so vibrant and bright.....and it just begged for me to "capture" it in a photo. I took a shot a few days ago of some blue umbrellas that you can see in a previous post. Who'd have ever thought beach umbrellas would make for such nice pictures?

VIEW FROM THE COCKPIT

I'm often asked if our view from the cockpit is much better than the "side windows" that passengers get to look out of. Of course our view is better. We have approximately 180 degrees of visibility from the cockpit, and it does make for some incredible views. Here's a shot I took right before we entered the clouds. It's a photo of our shadow. I've become accustomed to looking for views like this because they make for interesting "conversation shots". What do you think?

THEY CLOSED MY ROAD

Jeez, what a way to start off the new year!!! I was on an overnight in Columbus, OH (CMH), and when I was flicking through the channels on the TV in my hotel room, I noticed "MY ROAD" had been closed. What a letdown!!! No big deal you say? Have you ever had YOUR road closed? Why, they didn't even ask me if they could shut my road down, for crying out loud!!!! I guess the good news though, is that I didn't even know I HAD a road in Columbus, OH, soooooooo, I'll just leave it at that! ;-) Hope every one's new year is off to a great start!!!
