I have friends who still stubbornly refuse to get the Covid shots. I've had mine, however, I hesitate to visit them as I do not want to inadvertently bring Covid into their homes if I have the virus on my hands or wherever it might decide to hide. Many of these people have pets and I'm sure they have no idea that if they get Covid they can spread it to their pets. I'd rather have had the side affects of the second shot for a few hours than to get Covid.

I prefer the color because color helps delineate a 'busy' picture. Black and whites usually stand out better with more minimalist subjects.

Now, there's a scary thought!

Well, now, ain't that the truth? (Still chuckling )

In any case, what are the laws that govern the use of this type of software and shouldn't we take a hard look at how we intend to proceed or not to proceed with this type of development before it goes much further? At least in my State, the operator of any motor vehicle must have a valid Operator's license, which requires at least some testing, etc. Do these computers have a license to operate in this manner or is just having a licensed operator on board enough to qualify, even if the licensed operator is paying no attention whatsoever? Frankly, there are enough technology distractions for drivers already and having auto-pilot available and by it's very nature and intent only encourages drivers to pay even less attention to the operation of their vehicle. I for one don't see how this is a good thing for all involved and I look forward to your responses on the subject. Good luck and good shooting to all.[/quote]

I think that many, many, many years from now, this technology will be perfected, but it has to start somewhere and that somewhere is now.

I've seen these Walmart photos over the years, however, I must live in a very staid area as I've never seen anything like the characters in these pictures in the various Walmarts I've been in.

Definitely thought provoking.

If that's so, then I know a lot of people who are in a constant dream state, although they appear to be awake and functioning.

Great shots of some really, really weird geological formations. Never saw anything like that before.

I think kids had more real fun in those days than they do today. An overweight kid in those days was a rarity. We were all too busy playing physical games and climbing trees, burning up calories. The snacks we had were popcorn, fruit or celery. No chips, candy or ice cream. Chips were for special occasions like picnics, and ice cream was for your birthday. You never see kids out playing today. The only time I see kids is when I go to the grocery store, Walmart or Target.

One wonders what runs through the minds of civilized people who would deliberately mutilate their appearance in such a manner and then subject that poor little critter to be a part of it???????????

Great shot!

Covering for a bed. You have to read lots of historical novels to know that one.

Never heard of this sport, but anything with horses will catch my attention. Good action shots (pun not intended).

After reading that, I am more than ever convinced that the lunatics are running the asylum!
