In line at The Wonder Woman Ride, Six Flags, San Antonio. 2 hour wait for a 45 second ride, the line was delayed a bit because of technical difficulties. The horror only began after the terrifying ride was over and the technical difficulty came back.
So, the control panel the teenager was running was acting up. The ride was over, the cars stopped and now the locking bars are supposed to release so you can get out. Well, they only released about 6 inches which is enough to get thrown out with the centrifugal G forces but not enough to climb out on your own. Then the cars started slowly going towards the start line again which is only 20' or so. Meanwhile, everyone is freaking out and the spotter and the teenager could not hear each others commands while we were slowly headed to the start line again.
I do not recommend this ride

Over the years I have picked up a few treasure coins, but the first was from The Atocha when Treasure Hunter Mel Fisher's son Kim travelled to where I live.
As recorded in the faded Polaroid photo, the experience of that day was shared with two of my children which has made for a memorable memory.
Amazing stuff, I love the Mel Fisher story! Have been in hes museum in 2017
A deep-sea fish usually found at depths of 3,000 feet below the surface was found washed up on a California beach on Friday. Deep-sea anglerfish have very large mouths and long, pointy teeth in order to facilitate capturing and swallowing prey. They also have a lure that they use to attract prey by making their own light in the darkness.

I grew up in New Jersey and remember watching Bill Bradley play at Princeton and then with the Knicks. Michael Jordan and perhaps LeBron might be better than Kobe but there will never be another Kobe.

OK, it's been 3 and a half weeks and my kitchen is almost complete. At least we can start using it again! Here are some before and after photos.
Fancy light! Feels good to do a remodel project when complete! I'm installing a roof today in between calls.

It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

Some interesting pictures all around. Photography is another hobby of mine. Here's a view of the British channel, under the storm, taken from Etretat, France (everybody there would take a picture of the famous holed cliff, I just did it the other way round...)

This morning, yesterday I saw a Bear about 100' away. 18 months ago a Mountain Lion confronted me. Lots of Deer, Foxes and Coyotes.
Happy Mother's Day

In view of where gold has headed this weekend, maybe that One Way sign arrow should have been tipped 45 degrees upward.

I was in NJ last week and this bug was on the armrest of the wicker chair I was sitting in.
I believe it’s one of these, early stage nymph. https://inspection.canada.ca/plant-health/plant-pests-invasive-species/insects/spotted-lanternfly/spotted-lanternfly/eng/1433365581428/1433365581959
