[PET CEMETERY GALLERY] Because they’re all going to their respective pet heavens… In San Francisco and under the Golden Gate Bridge lies the final resting place of the pets of some overly attached owners. And in animal karmic retribution while I was shooting, my car was riddled with no less than 30 bird shits.
California’s mini Uluru [LINK]. The rock at Morro Bay [LINK]. Stayed here last night in a little seaside motel that had free videos. “Free Willy”, “Solarbabies”, and “Dunston Checks In” were some of the choices. I had asked about what movies were playing in town last night and the desk clerk rolled her eyes and […]
I’m hitting the road for a week long trip up the coast to San Francisco then home in a day. Hwy 101, south of San Luis Obispo lies Ostrich Land. Little did I know, less than 1/8 of sec. later this piece of shit ostrich would have my pinkie, ring, and middle fingers half way […]
Somewhat trapped in my house, a bunch of people, 23,647 to be exact, went running by my house for the L.A. Marathon. Some ran, some walked, and unfortunately a lot smelled. Never thought of that aspect of it, but after having run 13 miles they were all smelling pretty bad.
We received my Grandmother’s ashes this week, so we all headed up to Antelope Valley to spread them out at the poppy park she helped establish. Those were her wishes. It’s a bit early for the poppies, but in a little over a month this place will look like a living Monet painting. On a […]
On closer inspection though it could be someone with an appreciation of the vagina.
My new favorite sunset viewing spot in L.A. Here’s what you do. Go to The Grove, park in the structure and take the elevator up to the 7th floor. You now have a 360 degree view of Downtown, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Century City, etc. Get your stub validated at the movie theater because they have […]
Back on track. Replaced my G1 with a G3! Ok, no droppin’ this one in the mud. What a boner.
This year my parents outfitted the boat to be in the Holiday Boat Parade at Dana Point Harbor. Tonight is the first time they’ve ever done it so we weren’t sure what would happen. The generator lasted the whole time, so that was good. The boat was outfitted with bows and a white Christmas tree […]
I touched it. She photographed it. The day out on the barrier reef was spectacular. It’s quite a bit larger than it looks and it was one of three seen during the day. One of the cooler things I’ve ever seen in the ocean.
[UNDARA LAVA TUBES VIDEO LINK – 27sec. – 160×120 – 396k] I ran out of time last year to go to these lava tubes, and I almost balked at it again this year, but we made it out there. 3 hour drive out, two hour tour, three hour drive back. Plus or minus a few […]
Zoos are much easier to see animals at so we went and checked out Wild World. My second time going there because I like to feed the slobbery kangaroos. We walked into the aviary and they were feeding the Lorikeets. What a racket. Flying here, flying there, dive bombing your head, noisy buggers. A little […]
Argh bats!!! Giant flying mammals that will suck the very life blood out of you! Run away! Ok, they’re frugivores, but still. Eh hem, fruit eaters. Pteropus Scapulatus. Wingspans up to 6 feet. Largest bats in the world. Yikes. Rainforests have cool shit.
Friday in Cairns was a day of rest. Only left the apartment once for some food. Watched all 5 channels of TV all day. It’s easy to channel surf with only 5 stations. This morning we got up and caught the train up to Kuranda, Skyrailed it down, and then a trip to Hartley’s Creek […]
We woke up at 4:00am this morning to catch the sunrise at Uluru. Turned into a bust as the sun never really came out behind the clouds. Jill’s face pretty much says it all. “I got up at what hour for this?” I laughed. We were also headed over to the Olgas. The “other” rocks. […]
If I have to drag my ass out of bed before the sun rises it better be good. Riding a camel falls under that category. 4:45am to hop on a smelly animal and look at a sun that comes up everyday…? Where do I pay? Ok, so it was really fun and really beautiful. There’s […]
We arrived in Ayer’s Rock/Uluru today on this cool ass plane. It’s painted in aboriginal designs. First on the list was the Sounds of Silence dinner out in the desert. We checked into the hotel and rested a bit before catching the bus out to the “restaurant”. At least that’s what they call it. We […]
On our flight out of Fiji at 3:00AM or something we were greeted by a spectacular sunrise behind the wing of the plane. We had a bit of a layover in Auckland where we slept, then hopped our flight to Sydney. Since we were only going to be in Sydney for a day we hopped […]
After a long night of sleep without mozzies buzzing about, we settled in slowly at the Shangri-La Resort. We finally got a tropical sunset over the water. Somesthing we never got while out kayaking. That night we drove back into Nadi to meet up with Tony, or kayaking guide, for dinner and then hang out […]
