James River



I took this shot while crossing the bridge over James River. Unfortunately, the memory card didn't play fair, and I lost many pictures during this trip to Virginia (over 60 pics). What's worse, I lost all the pictures with my grandsons... :((

Today's joke:

Noddy is 90 years old. He's played golf every day since his retirement 35 years ago. One day he arrives home looking downcast. "That's it," he tells his wife. "I'm giving up golf. My eyesight has become so bad that once I hit the ball I can't see where it went."
His wife sympathises and makes him a cup of tea. As they sit down she says, "Why don't you take you old mate Milton, and give it one more try."
"That's no good" sighs Noddy, "Milton's a hundred and three. He can't help."
"He may be a hundred and three", says Noddy's wife, "but his eyesight is perfect."
So the next day Noddy heads off to the golf course with Milton. He tees up, takes a mighty swing and squints down the fairway.
He turns to Milton and says, "Did you see the ball?"
"Of course I did!" replied Milton. "I have perfect eyesight".
"Where did it go?" says Noddy.
"I don't remember."

  14. I'm thinking they have Flood situations there quite frequently by the looks of it. I gave up photography before Digital Cams were a reality, lost too many 35mm SLR's working overseas, besides I sucked at it.
    **Peace**
