Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

It didn't end well for many rear ended Pintos. BTW, pinto beans are explosive, an omen.

There was a Pinto in Miami with this on the back:

At least the NJ rats didn’t get to them.

I can't find the photo (too long ago), but someone entering/exiting the NYC subway system was walking past a subterranean bakery and managed to capture a gigantic rat in mid-air, jumping from one fancy cake to another in the front window. Instant classic.

I had a '72 Pinto station wagon that looked just like this (except for the roof racks). I really liked it. It was the first small car out of Detroit that felt good to drive (I'd spent the previous year in Germany driving on their autobahns with great handling cars). I remember especially liking the manual transmission. Smooth. Tight. Fast. I never got rear-ended, so can't speak to that aspect.

Maybe she was confused.

I believe that. If you want to find rats, look on back alleys behind bakeries.

Rat pack on a cake.

I remember the plastic woodgrain peeling off.

Rat in a drain ditch
dogs in a pile

and you know today is Bloomsday
now you do, if you didn't.

ran a friend to the supermarket. Massive electrical fault. They're on backup, all the fresh food is pffft. That's what I learned from her. I hoped to snag an espresso or such and a breakfast sandwich while she shopped.

A wee bit of Dublin for you (speaking of Leopold Bloom)

What may not be evident at first glance is the absence of windows in the white building.

I made the mistake of paying money to see this movie in a theater. Complete waste of time and money. Granted, my knowledge gained as a US Navy sonar technician probably didn't help...but the shark got jumped within the first 90 seconds of this film and it became practically unwatchable for me after that point. Believe me, subs look NOTHING like that inside.

I toured the Nautilus in Groton the other year. I have a whole new respect for what submariners did then and now. I asked the office on duty if new subs were better in regards to room. He said not really. I like the movie "The Hunt For Red October" but even before I saw the Nautilus, it seemed the "Dallas" was a little too roomy and polished.

"The Enemy Below" and "Das Boot" I thought did a pretty good job with the way a sub looked on inside in that era.

The people of Dublin are looking grumpy, maybe it was a Monday.

Saw an entire Great War U-Boat at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. The hull was cut away to show most of the space inside was for batteries and propulsion.

The almond ones are good but cost more.

I've been in a coupla WWII USN subs. Not roomy. I also went into U505 in the Chicago museum. Less roomy. There sho 'nuff ain't room in a real sub for a camera crew-or a Hollywood movie camera.

There is a diesel boat at the Yorktown in Charleston.

Submarine Force and Nautilus museum in Groton, CT. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Phone booths only started to be removed in Ireland a couple years ago!
