The trip began in the car, then moved to a plane and ended via a train (Metro) to Bethesda, Maryland. The whole concept of traveling in something other than a automobile is interesting. I’m flown a lot in my lifetime but the train experience has been limited to a few Eurorail segments years ago. Metro, on the otherhand, is kewl.
Back in the 80’s I was in DC every month. My client, Providence Hospital, required monthly huddle sessions to cover their marketing program. Knowing what I now know I would have traveled via Metro. Years ago I rented a car, struggled to find parking and was usually frustrated with traffic. I’m convinced that I might have moved to DC had I really studied the landscape. Go figure.
I did notice (on the Yellow and Red lines) LOTS of ad/posters about assault vehicles, military aircraft, tanks, etc. It’s an intercept point for those who work nearby. The messages about eating were everywhere as well. Makes sense to me.
For now I’ll get back to my photo-journalism work here in DC. Peace.
How many of these folks have tats? I’m not sure, but if the fellow on the toilet doesn’t, I’d be very surprised. I bet granny has a couple as well. Heck, the kids are destined for ink jobs at some point. Enough for now, at least the seat is down.
News reports say that propaganda songs have been written to attract more women into the coastal artillery units – so much so that women fighters now guard nearly all tunnels and bridges. According to the photo herein, the men play instruments and the women instruments of war. The fact is, North Korea soldiers serve six years in the army, keeping them out of trouble for that time in their lives (18-24), when they are most likely to act out revolutionary fantasies. The North Korean military is really a large prison system. While the troops are trained to use weapons, they get little ammunition for training, and the weapons are locked up most of the time.
Dog Chapman started his first bondsman business in his hometown of Denver, Colorado. Somehow he got the bright idea (right on) to move to Hawaii and take with him his five children: Leland Chapman, Duane Lee Chapman, Tucker, Baby Lyssa and Barbara Kate. As the story goes, his mother died and he decided to move back to Colorado to work alongside his sister, Jolene Chapman.
His longtime partner Alice Barmore (now known as Beth Chapman) soon joined with him on his bounties. They later moved back to Hawaii to open up their bondsman business in downtown Honolulu. Since opening on Oahu, Dog the Bounty Hunter has been extended his network to the Big Island and Maui. In spite of legal issues with Mexico and problems with his image (or lack thereof), cancellation of his show on A&E – and then re-airing of his show, the Dog has remained true to his principles, the values he preaches and to his family. How many people can say that?
Wednesday night is “Dog night” in my home. It’s the only destination program that we watch on a consistent basis. Sharing this factoid with friends and colleagues usually prompts a “why?” Certainly the answer includes “action, adventure and the absurd.” Really though, why? For that simple question I don’t have an honest answer. I suspect it’s one of the key reasons that I watch Dog the Bounty Hunter every week (and now in re-runs via A&E.com). When I am able to fully answer the ‘why,’ Dog will have retired and moved on to higher ground. Either way, I’m a fan for life.
From the cheap seats in Tennessee – rock on Dog (and family).
We are trying Dunkin’ Donuts’ coffee these past few days — and it’s pretty good. The one downfall is that everyone seems to be in on the action. Including local po-po. Careful – they’re watching!
The phenological (seasonal study) definition of spring relates to vindicators, the blossoming of a range of plant species, and the activities of animals, or the special smell of soil that has reached the temperature for micro flora to flourish. The first swallow to arrive for the flowering of lilac may be the indicator of spring. It therefore varies according to the climate and according to the specific weather of a particular year. Spring is springing somewhere – but I would say it is springing much further south.
Today’s drive was void of birds flying because the wind was howling at 30mph. With blustery conditions I doubt anyone could have smelled the soil. The only thing I saw blooming was the bloomin’ onion on an Outback Steakhouse billboard. BLEH. Where is spring? In a week we “spring forward” but the temps are not likely to spring with the time. I vote for a road trip. Did someone say Florida? Somewhere in the background I heard a little voice say, “book your tickets to Hawai’i … soon.”
Ok then. So it was spoken, so it is done. Aloha cometh.
Crazy. Yes, Crazy. January 2nd I visited Kroger for some food and beverages. Imagine … by Friday, January 2nd, retailers started selling crappy-crap for V-day. Huh?
Isn’t that a make-believe day? Shall we boycott this retail crap and show love all year? Or, do we savor our love for one “retail holiday?”
Guess what I’m doing? (Refer to January 1st RESOLUTIONS.) Roll oneth.
Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.
