Thank you! Very nice morning selection!
Bwahahahahahahaha. My two favorites... the dog humping and the racks. I laughed out loud at both of them.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ♥
Ribfest. LOL
I love the then and now picture of the guy and woman he saved as a kid.
Thinking about how big our galaxy is let alone other galaxies, is just mind boggling.
That grizzly bear paw is enormous.
Very entertaining. I hated to get to the end.
I want to know who took the photo of the Acropolis back when it was new. :)
The grizzly paw lends authority to my decision to avoid places where I might run into bears.
Rade: Thanks!
Sandee: I wonder if dogs think of those things as sexbots.
Mary: Bears are far too big. So is the universe. When we look at the core of our galaxy, we're looking at light which left those stars when there were still neanderthals on Earth. Space probes travel several times the speed of a bullet and it took nine and a half years to get to Pluto, which is in our own solar system. The nearest other star is thousands of times further away. It's mind-boggling.
Ricko: Thanks! There will always be more.
Ami: Probably a photographer from the far future (after the invention of time travel).
I'd never go where there are bears. I just hope they never come to me.
