Odd-Ball Picture of the Day

Palestine.

 

One pants grabbin' mofo right there.

 

Where's that ? I can't seem to find it on any map, past or present.

 

Bagdhad, Iraq.

**edit**

Reuters article here.

 

Lol.. I was in a bar about 15 years ago and some chick was claiming to be Persian. Some history major piped up that there hasn’t been a Persia since the 300 BC .. .. and called her out as a Fucking Iranian .. the mayhem that followed was a Classic ..

 

Bah, fair enough. State hood seems a matter of opinion.

You will admit that the flag in the background looks mightily like the Palestinian flag...


Of course, the flag doesn't necessarily identify the spot....

 

Things just got real serious at Wal-Mart.

 

We still only have a handful of girls racing right now. Liz and Stephanie are sitting out this season. Lorna is working pre grid and Dirty Red is for sale.
We have the 13-year-old that I'm trying to groom on social media to kick Leroy Cort's ass, another new one out of the Penguin garage and Jane Kennedy is back. Kerry Smith has come over from the USCRA for some full time racing. So it looks like only 4 (5?) racing at this time. Not really enough to bring back the Ms. Match.

Over at the USCRA were have quite a few more, including a motorcycle mechanic and one woman who is slowing down a bit. (She used to do Formula 1 pylon racing at Reno. ) I think we have about 8-9 in vintage.

 

Yeah, it's no fun after racing to head out to eat, thinking we're all bad ass motorcycle racers and then she mentions ditching a few times in the ocean, doing acrobatic flight training, etc... suddenly we're not so cool in comparison.

 

Water dam.

 

Aquadam

Aquadam is a brand. There are more than you think. I looked in to buying some over the winter.

 

He is doing well... I talked to him not too long ago.. still up in TN..

 

The state deployed a shit load of it up here this spring, St. Lawrence river way higher than usual. Saved alot of property with the stuff and it's quick to set up.

 

Should be in the "Signs You Are Aging" thread...
