Shoot Eight - "Boston Selfie!"



Hungary - well done Elaine, Joani, Milt, and Michelle!

"Boston Selfie"





My wife's best friend, Bobbi, flew in from San Diego for a couple of days in July. After an afternoon in Newport we drove her to our house. Finding something fun to do included taking the ferry from Hingham to Boston. As we were pulling into the waterfront skyline, the high school best buddies posed on the deck for the all-important, "We were in Boston selfie!"

Where in the World?


Here are some interesting facts about various countries of the world. Just where would I be?


It has an area of 603,628 km² (233,062 mi²), which makes it the largest country with its entirety within Europe.

It shares land borders with seven countries, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova.

As of 2011, it was the world's third-largest grain exporter and used to be called the breadbasket of the Soviet Union. The country also has large deposits of natural resources including iron, coal, oil, gas, manganese and other metals.

Its currency is called the Hryvnia.


The world's worst nuclear power plant accident, the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster, took place in the now abandoned town of Pripyat.



Interesting Thought. . .


What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. 
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Leaving on a humorous note, I hope!


If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?
