Stonehenge has a basement?

I just read that the historical Stonehenge has a prehistoric village just south of the landmark. Give this article a read - it's not thrilling for most young ones visiting but it would be a nice added note to my older readers.
Enjoy

Found guilty on 187...

Reading the linked article above made me think what financial trouble did she have that would make her do such an inhumane act? I did read that she purchased herself some breast implants. She also bought herself a nice trip to Tijuana for some extra fun. I know that some people morn differently than others but damn.

Now a possible 12 million dollar car...

In one of my previous posts I displayed a very unique vehicle that was said to be valued at 8 million dollars. Now we have the "Auto Union" which is in the AUDI family. This vehicle apparently was an extraordinary design for it's time - some even say that it was way ahead of its' own time. This very same type of car was involved in a race and won just a couple of days after Germany invaded Poland. In the article you will read more details as to its' finding and its' rebuilding. You will also notice that not many want this marvel to be connected to the existence of Hitler. This makes for a great read and a little added history.

Explosion that could of been avoided.

What happened in West Virginia was something that could have been avoidable. When a leak is sighted or smelled you must first evacuate the area for just that. They should not of kept business going like regular, the four individuals could have been affected by the explosion from a distance but not instantly killed. I hope that better procedures are followed from this point on.

Total B.S.

I woke up this morning to find out that just about every school around me is either delayed or closed. I hope that everything goes smooth this morning because if something was to happen I can pretty much assume that a lawsuit will be following not too far behind.

My Apologies...

I have to apologize to my huge readership (not) for not posting sooner. I have missed out on the PhotoHunt this week but I will participate this coming Saturday. I had a pretty busy weekend with my wife down in Columbus. I will try to keep things rolling here as best as I can.

I wonder what the payments are?

After watching the video for the Maybach Exelero I quickly asked myself, "I wonder what the payments look like?" I can only imagine the feel of such a smooth looking car would be, but I can also imagine the matching price per month for such a feel because as some of you might already know - I don't have 8 million dollars laying around unclaimed. Read the article and then watch the video. Like I said - a smooth looking ride but I don't want the payments.

Tonight's State of the Union...

Tonight's State of the Union should be an interesting one. I have read many reports and articles today that both anticipate and predict what the president will deliver. I hope that he focuses on not increasing any taxes that may be in the works. I hope that he follows his father's words when he said "No New Taxes", but then again there were some new taxes after Bush senior said that. Well let's hope that he says it and sticks to it.
:)


I hope that those of you visiting give him a chance and watch.

Saturday Hunt Theme - "Wild"...

This photo was saved on my wife's computer about 2 1/2 years ago. It's one of our adorable cats performing a wonderful stand attack. I immediately thought of this one when I found out the theme this week was Wild.

Happy Hunting

Beefeaters get woman...

Now this story wasn't too bad to read and I actually enjoyed its' contents.

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- The guardians of Britain's historic Tower of London are enlisting woman power for the first time in their 522-year history.

I am glad to see that they are considering a woman to apply as well as having a chance to work for an organization such as "The Tower's Yeoman Warders". Many of you might wonder as to why the nickname "Beefeater", well according to the article it states

Beefeaters, believed to have earned their nickname from their daily ration of meat, date from 1485 when King Henry VII formed a bodyguard.

Now of course some of you who read this especially men might probably add in the comment "Beefeater, what kind of beef?" So if you feel the urge to think it that's fine but don't mention it, it might upset some folks.
