Inside an SIRT car
The inside of the old cars that ran from Tottenville to St. George on Staten Island circa 1970s. This line got you to The Staten Island Ferry terminal which took took you to Manhattan. It took ~45 minutes on train then another 1/2 hr on the ferry. These seats were much more comfortable than the plastic ones that were in the newer cars. The back of some of these seats could be lowered to make for a comfy nap.

If you look carefully you might be able to make out the Great Old One himself heading toward the Castro.

This picture is hilarious. “Quick, everyone look startled!”
Did anyone see today’s episode? I’m not a big TV person but I’m so completely into this show (as well as Torchwood).
WTF?

Shadow of a Martian Robot
Explanation: What if you saw your shadow on Mars and it wasn’t human? Then you might be the Opportunity rover currently exploring Mars. Opportunity and sister robot Spirit have been probing the red planet since early 2004, finding evidence of ancient water, and sending breathtaking images across the inner Solar System. Pictured above, Opportunity looks opposite the Sun into Endurance Crater and sees its own shadow. Two wheels are visible on the lower left and right, while the floor and walls of the unusual crater are visible in the background. Opportunity and Spirit have now spent over four years exploring the red world, find new clues into the wet ancient past of our Solar System’s second most habitable planet.

Mice Galaxies
The Mice Galaxies, NGC 4676A (right) and NGC 4676B (left), are two spiral galaxies in the constellation Coma Berenices that are presently in the process of colliding and merging. Their name refers to the long tails produced by galactic tides.

Clymer -v- Geary
“The Two Platforms”
A racist political campaign poster from the 1866 Pennsylvania gubernatorial election. The poster specifically characterizes Democratic candidate Hiester Clymer’s white supremacist platform as “for the White Man,” represented here by the idealized head of a young man. In contrast a stereotyped black head represents Clymer’s opponent John W. Geary’s platform, “for the Negro.”

M81: Feeding a Black Hole
Explanation: This impressive color composite shows spiral galaxy M81 across the electromagnetic spectrum. It combines X-ray data (blue) from the Chandra Observatory, infrared data (pink) from the Spitzer Space Telescope, and an ultraviolet image (purple) from the GALEX satellite, with a visible light (green) Hubble image. The inset highlights X-rays from some of M81’s black holes, including black holes in binary star systems with about 10 times the mass of the sun, as well as the central, supermassive black hole of over 70 million solar masses. Comparing computer models of the giant black hole’s energy output to the multiwavelength data suggests that feeding that monster is relatively simple — energy and radiation is generated as material in the central region swirls inwards forming an accretion disk. In fact, the process otherwise appears to be just like the accretion process feeding M81’s stellar mass black holes, even though the central black hole is millions of times more massive. M81 itself is about 70,000 light-years across and only 12 million light-years away in the northern constellation Ursa Major.

Big Ass Truck
A truck made out of a F650. See those tanks under the doors? Those are gas tanks. 108 gallon gas tanks. On either side. Its also a diesel. Small Penis Syndrome, anyone? (Note: diesel at approx 5 dollars a gallon multiplied by just those gas tanks, at 216 gallons, is 1090 dollars to fill them.)

“Designed to look like a splattered puddle of blood under your head. In the images it looks pretty realistic and could be a really cruel joke to pull on your family.”
Found here.
6 seconds of light
This is the Marken lighthouse, given its name due to its shape (‘paard’ means ‘horse’ in dutch). The original was built in 1700, then reconstructed on top of the early foundations in 1839. It’s still in use today for the recreational watersportsmen and woman.
Generated by electricity now, it gives 6 seconds of light, then 2 seconds in the dark.

Twin bolts of lightning reach for the depths of the Grand Canyon near Point Sublime. This scenic area on the canyon’s North Rim is not as easily accessible as other lookouts. But for those willing to make the two-hour trip by 4WD vehicle, the vistas are among the best the park has to offer.

Practical Vehicle Protection
S&W 9mm Sigma, Fobus holster, a full 16 round clip in a carrying pouch.
Here in Houston, TX, I keep this in the glove box of my truck. I figure the 9mm is good enough to go through any type of glass or thin material it finds in its way.
