Let it snow

Took these shots when we were living in Ohio over winter.

It snowed for 40 days and 40 nights (well, it seemed like it)

Until everything was a**s deep and we couldn't even open our door.

Ya gotta have a dream

We visited Yanchep when we were in Western Australia and were treated to an exhibition of Aboriginal dreaming and dance.

Robert (that was his name) demonstrated how the kangaroo came to hop ...

How the emu came to run ...

And how the galah got his big yellow comb ...

Then, when the show was over, Robert got into his BMW and drove home. Ain't culture grand?

Chicken man

Came across these pics of our pilgrimage to the home of KFC.

The Colonel started broiling and frying chicken (brying?) in a humble kitchen in Corbin Kentucky in the early 1900's.

The actual kitchen was in a gas station on the other side of the highway, but I think they decided this was a better location for his shrine.
I wonder if he ever imagined that his chicken would one day be part of a fast food conglomerate that would eventually be sued for millions for paralysing someone with a zinger?
