Not only are they fun and easy to grow, they provide two distinct qualities: hot spicy pictures and hot spicy whatever you want. Click to enlarge.
Wheee!
A couple of years ago, Mozilla had a contest to produce a video promoting the Firefox® web browser. Without taking sides in the debate about whose browser is better, I have to say that this one entry was not only quite imaginative, but very humorous.
I use both Firefox and Internet Explorer at work. At home, Verna uses Explorer and I use Firefox unless I’m testing browser compatibility with one of the websites. I have used Netscape and Opera in the past as well, and each has it’s strong and weak points. It’s more a matter of preference, I suppose, and there are no right or wrong answers.
You can see the original video here and learn about the contest they had.
Not the Grand Canyon
The views from the roadway at Canyonlands National Park (North entrance) are just fantastic. Not the Grand Canyon, but almost . . .

London Bridge in 3D
Here’s the latest in my series of three-dimensional anaglyph (red-cyan) pictures. While at Lake Havasu, AZ, I took two pictures to produce this image. One leaning left and one leaning right, to simulate the distance between a person’s eyes. You can read about this technique on my 3D Stuff page. Click on the image to see a larger version. If you don’t have your 3D glasses handy, you can click for a 2D picture of the London Bridge.
House Under the Rock
Canyon de Chelly, in northeastern Arizona has some of the most breathtaking views down into the canyons. There are actually two canyons in the area – the Canyon de Chelly (we visited last year) and this one, the Canyon del Muerto, or “canyon of the dead.” There are ruins in both canyons and each scenic overlook has an anecdote about the canyon before you. This one was about the ‘House under the Rock’ which can be seen in the distance as Verna photographs it. Click for the bigger view.
The Bear Stair
We found this at Bed, Bath and Beyond – this fits the ‘beyond’ category.
Since Bear, our Shep/Lab mix dog is getting a little older, she has had trouble jumping into the back of the SUV. Solution? The “Bear Stair!” I’m sure it was not called that in the store, but it fits fine, considering the application and who it’s for.
We were picking Bear up from the kennel at the end of our vacation when Bob took this video.
