I saw a thread about that picture somewhere, with pictures from the other side, without the water. The parking lot is lower, with a concrete wall up to the level of the fence, so they didn't even have to photoshop it. :haha:

Awesome.

Optical illusion, but still awesome.

And there is water on both sides of the fence. It just blends in with the vegetation better on this side.

On the near side, there's nothing to keep the water from running off, so it doesn't get higher than the vegetation.

edit; here it is. Not the same picture I saw before, but yet another thread on that water picture. There was a bunch of them on Imgur, defending CA I guess.

I expect there's a concrete wall we can't see behind that fence

Doh. Was not on the last page of the thread when I said that. I hate when that happens

you are immediately proven right though! so you have to leave it

Warning: This is Beirut in 1958 before the religious nuts got control. It can happen here.

I think all of us, except maybe Ali, could use a shot of this to get the blood flowing again:

I used to be a big Phil Tippet fanboy.

Millennium Falcon chess set, tauntauns, Jabba's rancor, etc.

Somebody done jacked theyself a church:

Impressive. Not the engineering feat on display here, but that any church has the money to pay for such a thing. It's a far more common sight to see them being neglected and abandoned because the dwindling congregations can't support them.

Edit: Google says it's the Mormons in Provo

The Mormons have a lot of money.

Did you know Mormons are supposed to have a full year's worth of non-perishable food in storage at all times, just in case? So take mental note of your Mormon neighbors, because that's who you're going to want to raid when the apocalypse strikes.

Most of them also have weapons to defend those stores. So be careful.

Looks like Mother Nature and old Man Winter had another spat.

Brooklyn, NY, in the '50s, had hemp growing in every vacant lot.
Probably run away seeds from the shipping through for rope and net production during WW II.

Looks like Jim's got a sideline.

We had Helm's Bakery when I wasa kid in Southern California. Every day Mon-Fri about 9 am the Helms truck would come down the street. My Mom would get Bread and Pastries from them.

I need one of those trucks

See that? Yeah, how could ya miss it?

Shirley Temple's father bought her that ring for her 12th birthday, in 1940. He gave $7210 for it, in 1940. That's $121,810.38 in current currency.

The ring will be auctioned by Sotheby's on April 19.

Bidding will start at $25,000,000.

:shocking:

from here

Fort Benning says, just try something Korea, we're bad.

Drive in home theater.

By 1930, about 30% of American men belonged to at least one fraternal organization. This was during prohibition, but an even bigger reason is the working man could get a low cost life insurance policy through the organization, when only the upper crust could afford life insurance. Sometimes they included burial and headstone benefits too.

That said, they still had fun, especially at initiations for new members. This company provided means to that end.

NOW you tell me.

Damn whippersnappers don't know what they're missing. :crone:
