WELCOME HOME, GENTLE READER
My sojourn on WordPress was rather disappointing and expensive. I am so very pleased to be back here where I belong.
I will have to be patient to get my view numbers back up to speed, so if you spread the word about Folio Olio it will be greatly appreciated.
And I would sincerely like to thank you for your patience. I know it was a hassle, and I appreciate all your kind words, especially your concerns of my demise.

The city that stops for one minute every year.

 Once a year on August 1st, the people of Warsaw pay homage to the fallen heroes that fought for freedom in 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising. The biggest rebellion against German Nazi occupation during WWII cost over 200 000 lives and destruction of the capital. 

RH: I would like to know the damage to the Nazis.

Convection Connection

  I have no idea what is happening there, but it looks like some smoke is drawn out of one fire and up the chimney of the other.

^6^

This guy almost lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. He had the bone fragments made into the handle of a knife. Etched text "življenje ni potica" in Slovenian means: "Life is not a piece of cake."

 ^7^

 He makes his trailer out of the same logs he is hauling.

 ^8^

Pouring molten copper on dry ice.

  Indeed.

^9^

 An engineering marvel.

^10^

Droopy houseplant gets a drink of water.

  I had no idea it was that dramatic.

 Well, everybody needs a thing I guess.

City transit has no time for protesters trying to block the route.

  ^14^

Have you ever wondered why some dogs flunk service dog school?

 ^15^

Where is the holy water when you need it?

That reminds me of this.

 I never did find out if that was staged.

 Welcome to middle-age. You keep a pair of tweezers in the car now because goddamn that visor mirror is good.

^24^

Daughter signing for her father at a rock concert.

 That may have been too large to load properly. It's kind of cool - try opening in another tab.
