Ad astra per aspera
Where: Amsterdam (you can tell from the sky we're in the Netherlands)
I thought that used to be part of the Salvation's Army... but could be wrong.
Hey, Grandma Moses started late!
s Hey, Grandma Moses started late!
No. 2, power cables?
No.3 Is it part of some technogadetry physics accelerator thing? Ad astra per aspera
I got excited too...
1 large Roast of beef
1 small Roast of beef
Take the two roasts and put them in the oven.
When the little one burns, the big one is done. Hey, Grandma Moses started late!
Elco B, have you been to the Dulles Air and Space Museum? If not, I took a lot of photos there a year ago with my old Kodak, and I can put them in a folder at Picassa for you to look at. Hey, Grandma Moses started late!
:)
N f8; and be there...
What it is...
But what is it?
Hint: It's anatomical...
At least thats what the caption at the Pergamon Museum said.
I think they must have used it as a tool for fortune telling. Maybe they recorded it because it was a particularly good or bad one...
6 out of 10 points...
Hmmm...
Looks like slate to me. (The English definition for slate.) Slate tiles... on a roof?
?????...
It was pretty much a small tower and and a few ancillary buildings...
#1...???...
#2...???...
Thanks for solving the mystery!
Hint If I told you the name of the place where it is it would be obvious what it was. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Is this the fabled stable that Hercules had to clean as one of his labors?
but it is linked to Hercules (or in other versions Pelops) Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
it is the running track at Olympus. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Another view...
An overview with valley backround...
What's the total power output of an installation like that?
The modules are 220w, manufactured by SunPower Corporation.
PDF spec sheet
Know what it is and you will know where it is...
This one I don't know, but it reminds me of the pictures I've seen about Yosemite.
Wants to be there, sun on face, smell cliff of rock face.
Rocks smell nice, you know. Earthy. Whole. Full. Like a good merlot.
It's not a simple as you think, or is it?
It has to do with the thing I just made a run for, but before that it was used for something involving spherical objects being hurled...
It's actually the bar top at a pub that I used to frequent and the wood was taken from an old bowling alley... The name of the place is "Lane Splitter".
Five points!
And yes I did use Google (don't touch it, it's evil) but CVS didn't tell me where they are...
Ten bonus points for anyone who can tell me where the evil quote is from!
No fair, that's too hard! Waaahh!
It's very sorely missed, by me and many others I know.
Biograph, RIP.
What did you do there?
The Biograph.
I ended up in Egypt because I got a job here, that's all. The company I work for transferred me here a few years ago. I really dunno how long I'll stay, or where I'll go next....
Were you involved with the Biograph in Richmond, too?
I'll have to stop now before I tear up.
Yeah, me too, actually.
I've been thinking all night about the diary I have to write expressing my gratitude to you for that theater. Maybe you've heard this a thousand times before, but it was really important to me. Really.
So if I ever meet you in person, LEP, dinner's on me.
When Good Drugs Happen to Bad People Karl Rove, Pothead By FRED GARDNER Among the 78,000 pages of Nixon Administration documents recently released by the National Archives was a memo from young Karl Rove to Anne Armstrong, counselor to the President. Rove aspired to head the College Republicans. His memo proposes, among other things, that college Republican clubs show "nonpolitical films for fundraising (e.g. John Wayne flicks, 'Reefer Madness')..." The New York Times asked Rove for a comment and then reported: "The 56-year-old Mr. Rove pleaded forgetfulness. 'God, this is 1973,' he said. 'You work the math. I don't remember it all.'" What math? The heavy subtraction? 1973 was 34 years ago. Who but potheads thought Reefer Madness was worth watching, let alone showing? Instead of pleading memory loss Rove could have denied to the Times that he, personally, had been into pot. His response reveals an awareness of the essential lightness of the subject. He probably remembers quite well sitting in the old Biograph Theater on M Street in Georgetown, laughing superciliously with the other pot-smoking young Republicans, feeling insightful, maybe not so unattractive, getting the munchies, infatuated with the crowd in power, wondering if he could get close to George Bush's inadequate son and somehow become his advisor...

I think the writer was confusing us with the Key Theatre. We didn't let Republicans in the Biograph. Hey, Grandma Moses started late!
(Perhaps he decided to get even and the last few years have been his revenge on evil lefty cinema managers) ;-) Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Sure is pretty isn't it?
Hmmm???
On the side of the Pergamon Museum here in Berlin...
Beyond that I'm stumped.
looks well-weathered!
it's got a funny louche leer that cracks me up, makes me want to stick a gitane in its gob- ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
maybe he/she was practicing...
i have seen a bunch that spit out water though, and very loverly they were. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
Very cool bubbles...
I though the near-infinite reflections bouncing around inside it were kind of cool, and not an effect I'd expected.
Answer tomorrow (unless someone gets it first.)
it's so beautiful, doesn't really matter ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
After doing three big art fairs in one day I'd pretty much lost the will to live, and it seemed like an apt comment on what I'd been looking at.
it's an art exhibit, called 'mortadella man'...
it got too big tho', sorry folks ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
it's an artwork short of (dubious) aesthetic value but long on social commentary.
sorta like a metal spider chewing up musicians and spitting out plastic effluvia
i twink it's a meta4 for the music business, but then again... ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
Ciao until then...
Click and you'll find out.. You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes. --More--
Katana?
Yes, a particular kind of buoy -- extra credit for figuring out what kind.
Or does it signify that the boat owner is armed and dangerous! ; )
Oops, that would be a 357...
It's the one in France, actually. It's 20 years old nowadays... Un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de misères
I got to go up there a few times, and even to spend the new year's eve there once, before the cable-car accident Un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de misères
It is railway track, I hoped it wouldn't be this obvious... but a special kind: one with Y-sleepers. They are less maintenance-intensive than normal track in tight curves. I know they exist in many places, but the only one example I saw with my own eyes happened to be in the village I lived in in then West Germany.
*Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.

As you all may know; broccoli, Brussel sprouts and cauliflower are all, I believe, different phenotypes of the same plant.
Cool...
