The sound is the moaning of the last person to read that!
I can see that one under glass and in a frame! Nice shot! Simple and very nice.

Nice ones Steve. Yellowstone is a place I would love to visit one day.
As a 12 year old kid back in the forties my cousins and I used to walk on top of Mammoth Hot Springs and splash the water. Sounded like a drum. There were no barriers then. Kind of scary now when I think of what we were doing.

These were branded under a couple of different names. Back in the fifties I drove one called a Ford-Ferguson. My dads cousin used to start it down a furrow, get off and walk ahead of it removing stones and such. Was a funny sight.
Loved my Canon A1. Still have it and the auto-bellows and lenses. Have a Canon 60D now and I miss the auto-bellows.
And about ten years later White Castles and a Coke were only a nickel each! Used to go to the show on Saturday with 37 cents, 25 cents for 4 White Castles and a Coke, and 12 cents for the show!
Yes, there is still a few around Hammond, Highland, and Munster Indiana. My wife says she would like to have one.
The numbers may not be absolutely correct but the purpose of the E*******l College is shown and that is the reason it should NOT be done away with!
Why THE E*******L COLLEGE SO IMPORTANT
In their infinite wisdom, the founders of our country created a structure called the "E*******l College" as a control system and to ensure the individual states were fairly represented. Otherwise one or two densely populated areas would speak for the whole of the nation. It was not created as a device to favor Democrats, Republicans, Whigs, Tories or any other political affiliation. It was created as a system of "checks and balances" to guard against any small vocal area, with a specific agenda, speaking for the whole of the nation.
The following list of recent statistics should put an end to the argument as to why the E*******l College makes sense.
There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
T***p w*n 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
T***p w*n 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.
Clinton won the popular v**e by approx. 1.5 million v**es.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more v**es than Trump.
In other words, these Five (5) counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular v**e for the entire country !
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the v**e of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national e******n.
Large, densely populated cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) do not and should not speak for the rest of our country...and somehow the geniuses who founded our country understood this and created a system to avoid that circumstance.
And now you understand the supreme importance of the E*******l College.
Do share this... It needs to be understood.
Small ship cruising is the way to go. They get you to all the places the big ships can't go. Investigate 'Uncruise' lines!
Had a blast. Do you see whales? Well let's stop and watch for a while! Want to see (and HEAR) calving? You'll do it while the big boy is a half mile behind you!
And they have their own great 'chef' on board so you will not go hungry. Around 100 or so passengers and it is a very casual and relaxing way to go. You get to meet a lot of new
people because of the intimacy. I'd love to do this all over again One of our side trips was all the way back into Denali, an all day trip with some great views.
It is a little more expensive but I enjoyed every last cent of it.
Check them out and have a great trip
About five hours at the beach. Burned to a crisp. Had to sleep under the cold cast iron sink! And, no I wont do that again!!!
Bass, walleye, trout, crappie. bluegill, shark!
Be my luck they'd inject some solid rocket fuel!
We just want to keep "battle ships" out of the picture1
You can add our 60 yrs as of June 1st to the list as long we are listing. Most times the ship is upright, some times its LISTING!
