Can you just imagine the chap in the front, wakes up & is in a hurry to get to his office ONLY to find one, the right leg has gone to sleep. I know what it means, but no office for me at the 80s, BUT I know what it is like to find a leg over the other can go to sleep on you & takes a while to start to operate correctly.

Nice photograph, with a MAZE of sunflows, still in this case just that little girl touched off the photo of being rather pretty.
Yes I use to take a lot of photos, but mainly about the trees, the leaves, to the flowers to the main building of this one park, but never included humans. Just my way I guess at the time.

There is something very good if a Police officer will talk in a normal manner to people from children to in their teens, 20s-50s & into their later age FOR this is at a time of frustration beyong belief.
Something I was ALWAYS told when a young kid was when in question then ask a police officer & even up to a few yrs ago even in my late 70s on a m/c sort of mixed up where to go in a city. I would flag down an RCMP vehicle & YES they would give me good guidence.

Unfortunately when it comes to suicides & a person is that destressed sometimes we do not realize this or they are asking to much.
I have had a few friends committe suicide & one was at my shop wanting to talk & talk, not only about the past or present, but also the future & in this case another m/c race we would be in. The same person had long talks with some of his other friends & we had all assumed he was in hire spirts.

Being 80+ yrs of age I can see such a speaker though no one else in my home-----the fate of a bachelor.
To my mind most TV sets have lousy sound systems & NO volume up is NOT the answer.
Mind you lovejapan21 put in a good question about this to be replacemnt of headphones, but personally I would like to have a plug in for headphones as my left ear is not as good as my right.

I have been under the assumption that Al-Qaeda would be after the USA along with all the western worlds.
Hope I am wrong in this one.

Those photos were stunning & the latter few did sort of point toward this chaps death. Thank goodness he survived.
Agree with others that loosing a camera is not a loss compared to actually surviving through it all.

There are some people that appreciate pets & obviously these chaps showed that they did.
Still agree that all the dogs have to have a darn good bath with hope that is all they will need bar food & love from pror owners.

I was thinking of this little girl with her dog. last evening when going to bed. For instead of green grass, shrubs, trees to flowers she was amongst the maze of debris & not even any girls as one might see at a park.
Being as young as she is I have to wonder what is going on in her mind, like are he parents, uncles & aunts, to cousins along with grand-parents alive not to mention her friends.
Just that she is fortunate that she has this little dog & there will be that personal touch between them along with love on both sides.

I look at that little girl as cute as she is, but probably missing friends to other relatives. Fortunately she has a dog that she will love & take care of for it will do the same.
Yes children need a pet like this one, ESPECIALLY in her situation.

My ignorance on the various Russian models. Also know that Canada has purchased FOUR the largest American cargo aircraft, not up to snuff of the Russian I feel, but so often when sending troops to Afghanistan or equipment then Canada had to hire some firm in the USA to do the job.

Those are massive cargo aircraft & I knew a bit about them when in contact with Pairs to Dakar competition & they moved all the m/cs, to cars, to big trucks, the choppers & all the electrical equipment in just one day to Egypt. As rebels might hit the race of the bikes, cars, to large trucks & such. After all they did it before a few yrs prior.
Also just last year or the year prior one came into Kelowna city with a number of the Russian choppers hauled off to a shop that would do all that was needed in converting them for logging matters to hauling water to the many wild forest fires in this Province of B.C. What amazed me is that they did not need a long landing strip.

It is so hard to accept as being true, but so it is. I hope the Govt will take him into some situation of being ignored & give him some help even if he has lost his wife for the latter must be hard on him a well.

At first I thought it was a good photo of the young ones jogging through snow, but upon the inlarged photo I noted the green grass showing & those were lovel cherry blossoms & not snow.
