A "STOP" sign along Military Rd. S. in Federal Way WA. USA.
What's queer about it is that there is no intersection here; there's no reason to stop whatsoever.

On the positive side, it seems like nature will take care of the problem.

A rather large mail receptacle along Military Rd. S. in Federal Way WA. USA.
This is not a drop box; but appears to be a receptacle for incoming-only mail for this particular household.

Riding my bike to work on a foggy morning. It was a nice cool 59F (15C).



The fog was so thick that by the time I got to work, my fleece hoodie was completely soaked.



It's not very clear from the pic how many water droplets are on my sleeve, but I think telling that it's actually a black hoodie might give you an idea. The pic was taken about halfway when I stopped to take a pic of the fog.

On my way home, I stopped at prett much the same spot to take another pic.



The temperature had risen to 80+ F (27C), which to me is blistering hot. While riding it was ok, as you have a bit of a breeze to cool you down. But once I got off my bike, it was like a sweat explosion... I was sweating in places I didn't even know I could sweat. And I even kept my pace to a calm 15 mph (24.something kph). Ok, that might not be all that calm if you take the current set up of my bike into account...

2 Blackbird SR71 and a U2 at the backgorund.





The famous U2 spyplane.


And Maverick's plane:

Taken Sunday afternoon from my backyard.

I didn't have time to zoom in on this one (you can see neighbours roof on the right side of the picture to get an idea of scale)

There are 2 Boeing 767s that land back to back on Sunday afternoons.
I believe this one is Air Canada flight 889 coming into YOW from Heathrow.



Nice pictures of the Blackbirds stitch

to Coop --


Nice pics.


Is that a dedicated bicycle / pedestrian trail which you ride on ?


Biking is indeed lots nicer when you don't hafta' compete with autos.

[Coop]

indeed it is... one of the netherlands famous bikepaths, we have approximately 10000km of bikepath in the netherlands. about 1/2 of my commute is on dedicated bikepaths the rest is on regular roads. But thats not a very big problem, as bikes are very common here and drivers are used to them (not to mention that there's this little traffic law that says that in case of a car-bike colision, the driver is ALWAYS 50% to blame, even if the bike did a kamikaze on his hood. I know, not fair, but it keeps drivers on their toes )

Thanks Blackrose, my wife and I stumbled upon these planes in some desert in California. There are lot's of retired military planes of all sort there, too bad my camera died on me that time or I would have taken more pictures.


Coop, I wish I could go biking commute to work. Lucky you!

3 minute exposure of the umpqua lighthouse in Oregon.

Now that's a light. A little hard to EDC though.

LOL... It would pose some issue at the airport x-ray machines too. "It's a personal belonging...I'm allowed to carry that on right?"

[Monocrom]

Now that's a light. A little hard to EDC though.

All it needs is a pocket-carry clip.

[gollum]

and what sort of batteries would it run ...

The all-time record high temperature for Seattle WA. USA; set on 07-29-09.

The previous record high of 100°F (37.8°C) was set on 07-20-94; I made a big "to do" on my BBS about it back then - even creating a full graphics screen in RIP (Remote Imaging Protocol) format announcing that fact, which I displayed on 07-21-94.

No, not the flashlights but I recognize the car. It's a 93-97 Altima. I have one.

It's an actual side road on the way to Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia.

Gg

Oh crap! I recognize them both!

The one on the left is a full-sized Maglite. You can tell by the bezel. Rest of the light is wrapped in duct tape. The one on the right is a 2D Inca with a rubber-coated body and head. It's a No-name model from China, with p*$$ poor output! I know.... That's the exact type of light in the patrol vehicle that I drive at my job!
