WOW! I`ve watched a few dodgy landings on You Tube but this takes the biscuit! The driver of that pickup certainly has guts and what great skill by the pilot to set the nose gear down just in the right place.

Oh my gosh, Sargon. That was an amazing video. I kept rewatching it a few times over and over.

The fog this evening. Japanese impressionism on every palm tree and pretty much everything else. Little halos of light, pools of swirling mists and fireworks not seen but heard all around.
Wonderful evening out and about in it.
No camera on me and those shots rarely show up with my low end gear. At least I have some short term memory of them for the moment though.

Wednesday night: Gary Speed Memorial Match His sons did him proud with their dignity and pride in our small nation. Apart from Costa Rican eyes there wasn't a dry one in the stadium during Mae He'n Wlad fy'NhadauWho cares we lost. We deserved a draw. Gary would be proud Forget your Rooney's and Messi's ... Gary Speed is the type of player youngsters should be aspiring too ...

From all accounts, he was honoured. I like to think of myself of having experienced a lot in life but seeing how brave and proud his sons were when they led Wales out and they way they belted out the anthem ... I feel honoured to have been there to add my emotion into the mix. Beautiful but deeply tragic in equal measure ... I Love Lucy (but don't tell my wife ) ... I must admit to not liking many American sitcoms (Frazier, Raising Hope and The Middle some exceptions) but the old ones always manage to bring a smile no matter what mood I'm in

I love Lucy too. Patty Duke was another favourite & Dobie Gillis along with Gilligan's Island.

Hubby bought Gilligan's Island on DVD. And Get Smart. The scary thing is, I feel a lot like Maxwell Smart sometimes. Like when the Chief is explaining the mission. Did you get all that, Max? Can you go over part of it again, Chief? What part, Max? The part after "Listen carefully." *LOL* I've even done the spilling the drink while looking at my watch thing, sort of. Maybe that's just more sad than scary.

Brilliant writing on both counts really. People become so jaded they wont appreciate Gilligan's approach to site gags and well written humor. ;D
The Smart lines though are priceless works in my book. One of the most memorable is rather racist, but wasn't as much at the time. Playing off the Japanese problems with pronouncing various consonants.
Just thinking about that series made me smile and consider taking some things a little less seriously today moving forward. I've been scowling all week.

Have you ever typed "google gravity" in the search bar and hit I'm feeling lucky or "do a barrel roll" and hit google search? ;D
