Like the title
The other day I saw a WW2 bomber fly over my house going to the local airport for a static show
-
^That's awesome :laugh:
-
I saw a hot air balloon this morning that looked pretty much like this one.

The original VW Beetle. Saw one in Finland, in mint condition. Pretty cool.
-
I was in Kungälv the other day and saw a lot of old veteran cars from the 1920s and 30s. :thumbup:

There are a few of those in Sonoma and Napa that take people up for tours. I have thought of trying one sometime.

I flew in one several years ago and it was very cool. I got to pluck some leaves from the top of an oak tree.

I love old cars. Some drive past our little corner in the summer, but Beetles are very rare.
-
I saw a yellow Tesla car parked outside the bank down the street. I'd love a ride in one.
-
Teslas are quite common here.
-
Saw an old Hyundai Excel painted army camouflage style parked outside Centrelink. I wonder what kind of person drove it.
-
Up top here, we would just think of him as a redneck.
:tard:
Basically, very few people who own camo'ed trucks actually have any kind of need for such a thing. It is merely a fashion statement, most often.
-
I can't think of too many uses for a camo truck in civilian life.
And those ain't legal.
-
What do you mean, "... those ain't legal?" I drive past nearly a dozen every time I am out. Some are really nice looking, but most are hand done and butt ugly.
I do not think Indiana has a problem with camouflaged vehicles.

It's not the camo that's illegal. It's the uses that Cal can think of for them.
I saw a new Lamborghini about a week ago near my office. Painted in camouflage. It actually looked pretty cool. Like "look how rich I am, but also notice how I'm trying to be incognito about my obscene wealth".

Please tell me one reason that is.
All I can think of is hiding them from helicopters (or road view) for parking near a pot field.

A very expensive kite on the foreshore. The case worker I was walking with took it and said he could fix it.
-
The grey wall at the end of the street had hundreds of caterpillars on it. Usually only see them in spring.

Could be processionary caterpillars. They are out and about at this time of year.

I haven't heard of them, what are they?

An ice cream van going up our street. When it's not even above 13°C. On a public holiday.

They are like road trains. But smaller.

Wow. I've never seen that before.
The caterpillars I saw were the cute, furry, little black ones. There was no pattern to them on the wall, it looked pretty random.

What happens if you redirect one? Does it start a new procession? (honest question, not a joke.)

I have limited self control with stuff like that...*places random obstacles in their path*
Using gloves and a shovel...because they look like they have spines.
-
Are they gigantic, or does it only appear they are? The ones in the distance look as wide as the golf ball.

Are you sure you weren't looking at the wrong end?

LOL was expecting that one. It had one good eye and one partially closed with some white thing in it, not sure if it was a pet or feral

Heres one from this past week, cross walks on Nantucket look like this
(https://i.postimg.cc/yYmsgPTm/DSCN7200.jpg)
Most of the roads in town were cobble stone and the sidewalks brick, neither were even close to being level
-
I once knew a man from Nantucket....
-
SO, I meant to post in this thread, but I messed up:
On a personal note about things one does not see everyday ...
It is Prom Night.
My daughter is in a dress that makes her look like a Civil War era debutante. I am beside myself with stress.
PROM NIGHT!!!
FUCK!!
Update:
She called a bit ago and they are going to a late showing of the "Endgame" movie set up locally as a safe place for young teems to go after prom.
Says she will be home around two thirty AM.
The most surprising thing about tonight was, after all the plans changing, failing tailor not having her dress ready (Mom stepped up), "friends" ducking out at the last few days, date canceling on her this week, various other stresses ... was that she actually went through with this night. She went to her senior prom!

We have many sidewalks and several old streets here in town that are made of "ancient" brickwork. On one main-ish street they actually dug up the bricks, leveled and re-set the entire things foundation and it is very smooth using one hundred eighty year old bricks. Others need the same treatment. Many of the sidewalks have been re-set as well and brought up to wheel chair standards, FFS.
Many of the old bricks have the brick makers marks molded into the surface, something like, "Harold and Son's '05-37." Interestingly all the manufacturers had their own standards as to how big to make a brick. Within one brand, they are quite uniform, but it is difficult to mix brands of brick when doing anything with way old bricks.

I saw a ute today that advertised horse cremation.

:bounce: <----- In Person

One of the guys on the jobsite I was on today sounded like Tommy Chong but looked like Cheech Marin

In England there used to be an issue sometimes with cobblestone streets.
People would literally steal the street in the middle of the night. People would wake up in the morning and the cobblestones on the streets outside their houses were gone. Quite a feat to get away with that unnoticed. I recall it being in the media a few times when I lived there in the late 90s.
Apparently "genuine" antique cobblestones were very much in demand by wealthy bankers and fund managers and stockbrokers and the like for the driveways on their country estates outside London. And were worth a small fortune, and often purchased with no questions asked.

Stolen streets...? :LMAO:

Saw a black bear that got hit by a car on the parkway, first time I have ever seen one outside of a zoo

A squirrel who speaks Korean

Lamborghini SUV.
Spotted it far away and noticed it looked "different" from all the other of these types of vehicles I have seen. I did not know what it was yet, but I saw from a distance that this was a beauty and a remarkable show of super quality. Details, fit and finish, COLOR and just everything about it was just awesome.
Then I approached close enough to see the logo on the hood.
DAMN! I did not even know that those guys made something like that.
A pic, same color I saw.

Saw a Porsche SUV in traffic not long ago and was thinking, the SUV part seems to defeat the purpose of owning a luxury sport car because the body shape makes them look ordinary.
-
The Porsche SUVs are very ordinary-looking. I can't imagine why anyone would want to buy one. There are better SUVs and there are better sports cars.
The Lambo, on the other hand, is striking. I'd still not buy one if I had the money and wanted a SUV. I'd go for the real thing, a Range Rover.
