Worlds Largest Airplane

32 wheels! -- Cost more than some houses just to rotate the tires!

The World's Biggest Airplane!!!

Russian Antonov 225

Attached pics are of the Russian behemoth when it came into Medford , OR ,

to pick up two Sikorsky fire fighting helicopters to take overseas -- $1,000,000 to transport them!

While they were loading the helicopters, the Russian pilots (two crews), went into town to buy cigarettes by the case and Levis jeans.

It is amazing something this huge can stay in the air.

The Wright brothers would never have dreamed it.

Speed Control in Denmark

This is a great clip from Denmark on how they are controlling speeders. It would be my guess that maybe we should try something like this in America. I say lets volunteer Wise County and see where it goes from there ?

WARNING: Some Nudity PG 13

Mothering should be Instinct

If animals can figure this out why cant humans.

Reading another blog (Big things small county) there was a story about a little girl who was made to stand outside in only a T-shirt and sweatpants in 40-degree temperatures for several hours. Punishment for something she did wrong.

They wanted her to see what it was like to be Homeless.

How can people do this to any child is beyond me? Is there something they missed when they were young? If anyone has a clue please let me know.

Machine Gun Party here in Wise County

What every 9 year old Wise County kid needs. A Big Ole Mountain Dew & a Machine Gun !

757 Lands Safely at LAX after 1 engine dies

2009-02-16

Officials say an American Airlines flight on its way to Chicago from John
Wayne Airport in California's Orange County was diverted after one of its
engines went out.

American Airlines spokesman Billy Sanez says the engine on Flight 1236 died
just minutes after takeoff at 3:21 p.m. Sunday. The 757, carrying 149
passengers and a crew of six, was diverted to Los Angeles International
Airport, where it landed safely about 10 minutes later.

Nobody on board was injured.

The incident is under investigation.

Ft.Worth Train Mishape

This looks to be a case were an Emergency Stop sequeince was initiated. I would guess by the pictures that when the cars separated the box car was sent up and was shaved off by the bridge I beam.

Court to hear strip-search challenge

STRIPED SEARCHED AT WORK !!!

It just creeps me out for another person to look at me under this circumstance. What do you think?

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia previously issued a delay in implementing the rule, which will remain on hold pending the appellate review.

The rule, as written by the Bush administration DOT last year, would require strip searches of rail and transit workers during certain mandatory drug testing.

The UTU and the other rail unions maintain it violates the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment prohibition against unreasonable searches.

Under current and still effective rules, a rail carrier has the discretion to require direct observation during an individual return-to-duty or follow-up test, but is not required to do so.

The Bush administration DOT sought to replace this discretion with the mandatory-observation rule.

Specifically, the currently delayed DOT rule would require that a same-sex observer employed by the railroad "request the employee to raise his or her shirt, blouse, or dress/skirt, as appropriate, above the waist; and lower clothing and underpants to show, by turning around, that they do not have a prosthetic device [that could be used to deliver a substituted urine specimen.

After the observer has "determined that the employee does not have such a device, [it] may permit the employee to return clothing to its proper position for observed urination," according to the challenged rule.

Union Toilet

I was sent this photo by one of my Union Brothers this week in response to a grievance I had to file on behalf of the Rank & File.

For the last few months we have had to constantly argue with the company for the very basic of needs. This week it came to a head when I filed a grievance for toilet paper.

When they designed Terminal D there was no thought put into restroom facilities. They have one urinal and one toilet in a work area for over 50 to 100 men to use. We have complained for months to have it cleaned and restocked to handle this kind of traffic. And one time there was blood on the floor were the building cleaners just waxed over and the stench was overwhelming.

We had enough this week when I had to use the SPORTS section to wipe myself !

Maybe I am expecting to much ?

Sniper Picture from Iraq

Right Between The eyes At 1500 yards, that's damn near a mile away.

This is a highly trained American sniper with his 50 caliber rifle which is his best friend. His assignment is to protect the 'Green Zone' in Baghdad , Iraq (basically his job is prevent the terrorists from sneaking into the compound).

Below, we see Achmed.

One day Achmed tried to breach the perimeter and got tagged

From 1500 yards out. Note the vest laden with explosives!

Achmed won't be doing this shit anymore

Thomas Jefferson Quotations

Some very interesting quotations of Thomas Jefferson who has seemingly foretold the future......OUR future!

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we
shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who
are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it
goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of
the world.
Thomas Jefferson

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the
government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense
of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results
from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and
bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against
tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the
blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas
which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson

Very Interesting Quote in light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read
what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our
liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever
allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first
by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that
will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all
property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent
their fathers conquered.

Steelers BRING HOME the Trophy ~ Parade Pictures~

I just got these photos from my family who was able to attend the parade. They said it was like 10 degrees and a absolute zoo. Good Times !!!

Photos from Home

As I get ready for today's Superbowl my memories bring me back to Pittsburgh Pa in the late 1970's. I worked at Three River Stadium from 1977 to 1979 and had the pleasure to watch the true "Steel Curtain" and the birth of the "Terrible Towel". To be a teenager and feel the Thunder as Terry Bradshaw took the field in the stadium was ELECTRIFIED I carry that feeling with me still to this day. Back then athletes were real heroes and played the game of men. We were taught then that you could be anything you wanted all you had to do was believe and work. Just get up every day no matter what and try again.

As I look back ... I now realize how much I had when I had so little. A friend sent me some pictures taken this fall and some from yesterday. Hope somebody enjoys them as much as me.
