I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!

NEVER put your feet on the dash. The airbag will send your knees into your skull.

Lots of water and carbon.

In 2019, in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the Kunlun Mountains, a high-altitude highway called "Panlong" or "Heavenly Road of the Pamirs" was built. 

Heavenly Road of the Pamirs"  - The road, which tourists nicknamed "road hell" has about 600 sharp turns, mostly 180 degrees.

I wonder how many suffocate in transit.

I think whimsy is underrated.

^^D6^^

^^D7^^

A couple of costume ideas.

^^D8^^

That is exactly the way I looked when I was editing one of my novels and needed to describe a minor character. I wrote in bars and would watch a customer's behavior, dress, hairstyle, etc., to use in the book.

And lest we forget, God thought the father who offered up his two daughters to be raped was the only righteous family in the whole damn city and saved him. I want to hear you explain that to your daughters.

India, China drives on the right-hand side like the US.

Sorry Whoops!
There ARE 3 atoms in a molecule of water but there is only one star in the solar system.
The picture of the glass of water was a distraction which made you think it was illustrative, somehow, of the statement.
A really good example of making sure you read something and understand it before jumping to conclusions.
