Might want to turn down the treadmill.

Seen at my FAA Doctor's office.  'Crash' is a medical euphemism for 'the patient just collapsed and appears to be quite dead at the moment'.

Interesting concept, but as a soldier I'd feel a little naked zipping around in this over enemy territory.  

Tragic New Year

One of several paper cups dropped from a helicopter to unsuspecting campers, after a park ranger was shot and killed nearby and the gunman escaped into the woods.  The full story is here.

The pilot and crew had no other venue with with to communicate with the campers, other than coffee cups from Cruisin Coffee.  

Round and Round

I could be wrong, but I suspect this pilot is having a pretty good time.  Probably not getting paid a great deal doing agricultural spraying, and probably, occasionally, scaring the bejeezus out of himself flying next to powerlines all day, but fun nonetheless.  

Faith

For an atheist, this is the manifestation of faith:  a dog doing what every evolutionary bone in his body tells him not to do, save for his belief that his handler will keep him safe.

But then again, maybe the dog realizes how impossibly cool it is to jump out of a helicopter into the water, and could care less what the guy next to him is doing.  

Happy Holidays

Christmas morning at sunrise, over the San Diego mountains.  The kid in the back has croup, hope it's not contagious. 

Scottrade Flashback

My one and only foray into commercials.
