Trip To A Tibetan Monastery

First you take the tram up to the start of the trail.
Now follow the path.

A few more steps to go.

Finally in sight.

They say going down is always harder then going up.
I'd rather stay in town and hang out at this local Biker Bar instead!

Social Security is under threat. Here's why you should care.

You take your dog for a walk and you both use the same tree.

Your boat has not left the driveway in 15 years.

The Salvation Army declines your furniture.

You come back from the dump with more than you took.

Your grandmother has 'ammo' on her Christmas list.

You keep flea and tick soap in the shower.

You have a rag for a gas cap.

Your house doesn't have curtains, but your truck does.

You wonder how service stations keep their rest-rooms so clean.

U have a complete set of salad bowls that all say 'Cool Whip'.

The biggest city you've ever been to is Wal-Mart.

Your working TV sits on top of your non-working TV.


You've used your ironing board as a buffet table.

You've used a toilet brush to scratch your back.



You missed your 5th grade graduation because you were on jury duty.

You think fast food is hitting a deer at 65

This video has over 15 million views. Looks like I'm not the only one who found it interesting. I came across it when I was researching the contents of granite stone. The type of stone widely used by ancient builders. I discovered usually 50% of it is composed of quartz. Was it because of it's piezoelectric properties? And that's what led me to this...



Makes you wonder doesn't it?

My Opinion Of Computer Self Driving Cars

Repost

WHAT ARE YOU NUTZ !

Yeah sure there are a lot of people who shouldn't be driving who can't even walk straight, but... * There are 1,000's of weather related conditions computers simply won't be able to handle. There's a vast difference between two inches of snow and one foot. Fog conditions that can vary between several feet to a few inches. Braking and acceleration is best left up to drivers. Even those who might have poor judgment.

* Computer driven vehicles will never differentiate when to brake if leafs or some small none threatening animal should cross paths up close against their sensors over that of some object several feet away resulting in a hard unexpected braking condition.

* They can't anticipate another driver's actions as a vigilant driver may become aware of and react accordingly.

* What will a self driven car do coming across a double parker. Sit there all day?

* What will a self driving car decide to do if traffic lights are out?

* What will a self driving car do if there's a construction flagman, emergency responder or school crossing guard directing traffic?.

* Will self driving cars recognize flooded road conditions which might imperil passengers lives?

* Will they recognize pot holes or continue full speed?I could go on and on. If people are too stupid to drive or pay attention anymore and wish to rely on computers in the future to do all our thinking for us we've reached a very sorry point in our evolution.

I may be an old fart, but these contraptions seem, dangerous to me. I'm predicting they'll never replace human drivers.

If they do, heaven help us if we become so stupid as to not being able to make our own judgments on the road or with anything else for that matter.
