What Tornado?..... 
 

In the midst of tumultuous weather that has been sweeping across the UK, this Boeing 737 took off from an airport with a funnel cloud rotating behind it. The picture, however, may be a bit deceiving, making the funnel appear closer than it actually was. But even still — this could not have been a comforting sight for passengers.

Travis County Grand Jury Indicts Govner Rick Perry

Yes indeed. The Libtards on a Grand Jury in Austin went out and indicted the Guvner for threatening to use his veto power.

A Travis County grand jury Friday indicted Gov. Rick Perry on two charges related to his effort last year to force District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to resign after her drunken driving arrest.
Grand jurors charged Perry, 64, with abuse of official capacity, a first-degree felony, and coercion of a public servant, a third-degree felony. 

The indictment stems from Perry’s threat last summer to withhold $7.5 million in state money from Lehmberg’s office unless she step down – a threat he later carried out by vetoing an appropriation in the state budget.

So, Ho... Rosemary Lehmberg, a Travis County District Attorney, got her badself all likkered up and went a driving.  She was arrested (video below) for drunk driving.  Rumor has she blew three times over the limit. Gov Perry wanted her to resign. Hell, 3/4 of the state wanted her to resign. However, being a Democrat she knew that arrest and jail time would be viewed a resume enhancers and refused to resign

Wonder if they will go after president Zero for the same thing. Prolly not, professional courtesy and all that.

Phaedo!  

 

An update on one of my favorite yachts Phaedo.  After losing her mast in the Transpac Race earlier this year, the Gunboat 66, Phaedo was on the hard for some rehabilitation and... a new paint job. BloodOrange is the new color.

Here is a video of the 2011 run in the Caribbean 600

WTH??! 

LONDON (AP) -- A British air accident report has recounted how a pilot lost control of a passenger plane after his artificial arm became detached during landing.

A one armed commercial pilot.... Let that sink in for a moment. 

The blind co pilot said he did not notice anything wrong. (I made that up....maybe)

Rolling On A River... 



Headed out to the Yuma Spa & Gun Club for a little R&R this past weekend.  Celebrating 23 years of marital bliss, we were.  Took a little float trip down the Colorado River. Here are some photos below the rapids......

Yes, Bailey the HockeyDawg, had her own float. 

Indeed...

August 12, 2008.... 

I got the call that day that you do not want to hear, but I knew that it would come... 

I was on an island 23 miles off of the California coast acting as the "Scoutmaster" for 40 Boy Scouts at summer camp. We were to have a beach BBQ that evening. My spirits deflated as we headed towards the water and I learned over the cell phone that my dear sister had passed in Michigan. So many miles away. I weighed my options and found no way to get off the island to be of any consequence. Alone with my thoughts, I remembered the sister that I had, if only for a time. Leukemia had finally taken it's toll. 
I miss you dearly Ginny. You always gave me strength and sometimes....a smack in the head.  What I wouldn't give for either today.  She fought a good fight and stood tall against the inevitable. Proud, I am to have been her brother.  Rest in peace sis....you are with our parents and in a better place.
