Another in the panorama series: the eastern part of the nine-hole golf course at the Manhattan Beach Marriott Hotel. I used my new Canon A710 and a photo stitch application to create this image from four snapshots of the course. Click on the picture for a bigger image.
Rolling Thunder showed up at the National Mall last Saturday in Washington DC along with Veterans and Patriots at the “Gathering of Eagles.” They were there in a show of patriotic pride as a counter to the anti-war demonstration planned by the far-left. Rolling Thunder is also the organization that protects fallen soldiers’ families and friends when these crazy anti-war people decide to demonstrate at a funeral.
Good for the Rolling Thunder. I sure do like their Rolling Thunder Special Edition Smith & Wesson .45 caliber ACP Pistol . . .

Rolling Thunder‘s major function is to publicize the POW-MIA issue. To educate the public of the fact that many American prisoners of war were left behind after all past wars. To help correct the past and to protect the future veterans from being left behind should they become prisoners of war – missing in action. We are committed to helping American veterans from all wars.
Times sure have changed since I got my first home computers over 20 years ago. They were big, slow, had limited storage and were not networked. These days, we each have a computer plus a laptop (with WiFi) for travel and to use other places around the property. Verna snapped this candid photo of me as I sat on the backyard swing uploading a post for our weblog.
Verna had a little accident today. We were working in the garden and she got a little too close to the thorns on a Mexican Palm. It was a pretty nasty tear on her forearm and deep too. No band-aid and Neosporin for this one. I took her to the urgent care center where they stitched it up (three sutures did it). While we were waiting to be admitted, this cute little hospital Leprechaun was spreading good cheer in the waiting area at the hospital.
Every Spring I like to populate the garden with colorful flowers. We have several varieties of daisies growing out there. These are little delicate white ones that have been out there for a couple of weeks. We’re going to Lowe’s this weekend to get more since we’re making room for them by clearing out the flowerbeds of old stuff. Click on the image for full-sized picture.
Here’s another panoramic view of Catalina Island taken this time from Ryan Park in Rancho Palos Verdes. The golf course and park is located on the west side of Hawthorne Boulevard, just beyond the crest of the hill. Click the image for the full-sized panorama.
