Yep, we make a pretty great bra....

So...snowmageden has me squarely in its cross hairs tonight. Somewhere between seven and ten inches, although at an inch an hour over a foot is very possible. We have been lucky with snowfall, so I haven't fired up the snowblower in two or three months now. Hope it fires up tomorrow. I don't have a lot of time to clear snow as I have a 7:30 am to probably 7:15 pm work schedule at the post office. I have to be up at 4 am on Saturday too.

My dad did almost 50 yrs at PO retiring as a station manager...one of the few making money in town. Chased UPS out of several firms.

I can only help send out what the post office delivers on the truck. That should prove a challenge.

While some of us who are experiencing the winter that never was and pray for snow to restock the watersheds, we should always be mindful to take care in what we wish for.

Yea ! I wonder what happened next . I also would not like to have been in the position of the man photographing baby Gorillas with the adult standing behind him. A photo of which I posted a few pages back. The Gorilla has a turned down mouth, and it looks pretty pissed off.

I'm pretty sure both images are fake.

Wow long hours. Looks like that perilously 'iffy' job has turned into something permanent and serious?

I was thinking the same thing because the photographer taking either one of those photos would almost certainly have alerted the person in peril that the peril existed. So I think we can chalk them up to skillful photoshopped images, but they still are great.

Reminded me of that photoshopped image of the guy standing on the edge of the roof of the World Trade Center as a commercial airliner was coming at it. That one made ALL the social media for days as the real deal. It was a really skillful photoshop though to appear to be so believable. The guy in the photo is the one who photoshopped it, however he used a photo of an American 757 airliner instead of the similar but larger 767s that hit the twin towers.

One of the disadvantages of evolving technology is the greater ease with which people can put out false information. Some of the photoshopped images you see are very convincing.

Yes, and it can be used nefariously. I recall one of the major news services awhile back photoshopping the smoke risking from damage inflicted on a small middle eastern country and it just looked horrendous. The purpose of course was to imply the attacker was excessive and ruthless. But some sharp eyed folks saw a repetitious pattern in that smoke and exposed it as the photoshop job that it was--imposition of much more smoke than what actually was there. The real much smaller area of rising smoke was from the strategic military target that was hit. And I have seen news photos of crowd sizes that were enhanced by including the same group of people over and over. Photoshop experts are much more likely to spot that kind of thing than the average layman too.

Mostly it is just harmless fun though.

Mr. P's best friend and riding buddy, likes his Can Am spyder trike and found out how fun it is to ride ,so he and Mr. P took his bike to a Tucson Motorcycle shop to turn his 2 wheel into a trike also.

Both will soon be riding around all over the county this spring!
Maybe they will have a trike convoy in the not to distant future.

I'm happy that hubby still has this time to enjoy himself.

 

[Foxfyre]

Speaking of photoshopping, I'm wondering if last night's vigil list photo isn't a really skillful photoshop? The highway--obviously somewhere other than the USA due to the cars traveling on the left side of the highway--appears to be cut through deep snow. But the trees showing on top of the snow suggest maybe the snow wasn't that deep - or - the cars are simply in a pass cut through mountainous terrain and the rock is iced over? Hard to tell really.

I've been pet sitting all week. Had a couple of lunch dates with ex co-workers one who also left the job. It's been uneventful. Anyone got plans for upcoming Valentines Day?
