Free Ride?

I love how The Tax Foundation can put things into perspective so simply and eloquently. “While the oil companies experience record profits, the federal government has been giving them a free ride,” Jeff Rickert, vice president of the Apollo Alliance, charged during a news conference Tuesday. In the most recent flap over “excessive†profits, ExxonMobil…

I was cruising around Club3G the other day, posting up for sale some spare parts I still had laying around from the Eclipse, and I ran across a thread with one of the old Eclipse commercials in it: The commercial was a nice bit of near-term nostalgia, but several of the people in the thread…

This weekend was all about the cars. Since starting the search for our house last summer, car care has really been neglected. I really needed to catch up and get at least a coat of wax on my year-and-a-half-year-old WRX. Since the heat was a bit oppressive on Saturday, it was a good day to…
No snow in sight

Generally, I don’t give much creedence to the accuracy of weather forcasting in Buffalo, but I do keep ForecastFox running down at the bottom of Firefox because it’s much less intrusive than Weatherbug. So this morning, I fire up my browser and see this: *click* Wow. Buffalonians are going to be clamoring for snow soon!
From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
