It has been suggested that white slave foremen in the antebellum South were called "crackers" owing to their practice of "cracking the whip" to drive and punish slaves.

Can you imagine anyone thinking that there was a standing forest of petrified trees like this?

The Colombian serial killer Pedro Alonso Lopez, who is known as the Monster of the Andes, raped and murdered over 300 girls from Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia. However, after he was caught and imprisoned for 18 years, he was put in a psychiatric hospital. There he was reviewed, declared to be sane, and set free, despite his blatant avowal that he fully intends to kill again. Ever since his release in 1998nobody knows where he is or what he’s doing.

Amorepacific Headquarters at Seoul, South Korea

The new headquarters for Amorepacific, Korea’s largest beauty company, is located in the center of Seoul at a site that has been occupied by the company since 1956. It is situated next to a former US military zone that is being transformed into the spacious public Yongsan Park and a business district, which was part of a master plan representing the largest high-rise development in Korea that substantially altered the urban fabric of the Yongsan district.

Did you notice the interior green spaces?

Around this time of year, Japan becomes decorated with scenes of fish fluttering in the sky. Known as koinobori, the carp streamers are an important celebration of Children’s Day, which is on May 5th and is one of the consecutive holidays that makes up Golden Week in Japan. But one of our favorite forms of the celebration happens at Sabogawa River, which plays host to an unusual yet exquisite tradition. Colorful koinobori, which usually flutter in the wind, are placed back into the river where they belong.

Russo-Ukrainian relations in neutral countries

In Ankara, during the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (PABSEC), a Russian delegate tried to pull down a Ukrainian flag but got a fist in the nose instead.

The video was made apparently by a giggling Russian reporter, who is heard saying, “They shouldn’t put up their rag.”

Russian media reported it as, “a Ukrainian provocation”.

"Fuck you!"

OBJECTS OF INTEREST


A young John F. Kennedy and his friend Lem Billings posing with their little companion Dunker during their stay in The Hague, the Netherlands in 1937.

Back when rich people went to war too.

The first thing I noticed was that JFK's buddy was wearing shoes like I wore in high school.

That is a wonderful painting technique.

I bet that happens a lot.

Notice how the slope of the main wires lines up with the top of the clouds, the roof of the house, and the left side of the puddles.

When I was still drinking and smoking I would sometimes turn up my cigarette and try to drink it and didn't realize my mistake until it touched my lips.

I have seen enough sinkholes to know I would NEVER do that.

I had a outer piece of petrified tree as a kid, was about 30cmx10cm in size. I wonder what happened to it?

I love watersports but in those places it would be too cold, oh and I hate wearing a wetsuit.
A friend of mine lives relatively close to that football pitch island in Lofoten, Norway.

Henry Ford was mentioned friendly in "Mein Kampf". Musk on the other hand wasn't mentioned at all in that book. Draw your own conclusions.

Beaver ancestor fossils (Paleocaster) are often found at the bottom of “Devils Corkscrews” corkscrew shaped fossils of the burrows the animal lived in. These can be up to 3 metres long and were a total mystery when they were first discovered.
Look up paleocaster to see images.

Observations and Opinions of Others

There was a Polish women that also was a survivor of the concentration camps. I don't know her name. She traveled the country telling of her experiences in the camp.
She said in her speeches. "Don't let them take your guns"

MIKE HARRIS said...

B8-Elon Musk is a Nazi enabler because he wants freedom of expression for all, not just the Left wing loonies who run the USA? Sounds nutty to me.

Your Concentration Camp survivor is still wrong...

It's a car cigarette lighter and was a teachable moment for my nephew when he heated it up and stuck his tongue in it.

PS~Trump is a good guy.

Ralph Henry said...

Dear Cigarette Lighter Uncle, Please explain your PS. Your fellow viewers would love to hear all about your rationale. I will post whatever you send me. Please, do this for me, but be forewarned, your fellow viewers aren't going to let you repeat lies or misinformation. Try very hard to stick to the provable facts.
