Cruise Ships and Submarines

So this is an interesting site you don't see every day. In the background located in Brooklyn's Red Hook is Cunard's Queen Mary 2 and in the foreground is what appears to be an unattended rusting retired Navy submarine whose designation is 577. (I wonder if it could be taken for a joyride ... That'll make the evening news).

More mechanic humor

Couldn't help it.

Big dogs

So I'm chillin' at a auto mechanic shop in the Bronx surrounded by three huge rottweillers. This one was the little one. These dogs are responsible for bill collections and they also deal with customer complaints.

Elephants Seals on the loose

One of the most amazing sites along the PCH is a point at which hundreds if not thousands of elephant seals congregate by the beach for a great big party. At least that's what it sounds like to me. Just imagine Woodstock or the Burning Man or any major event where people start "wildin'" out but instead of people its seals instead. Based upon some of the seal behavior I would definitely give their gathering an R or NC-17 rating as it looks like they are having too much fun. I wonder what the other nearby animals think of the seal debauchery.

A view from Santa Monica

Santa Monica is a beautiful city with a nice shopping promenade and a pier that is reminiscent of a mini Coney Island in Brooklyn. I couldn't help but to notice the large number of homeless people that live on or near the beach boardwalk. Although I wish I was sticking around but San Francisco is over 8 hours away.

The Airliner @ LAX

So we hit up a spot called "The Airliner" located at 2419 N. Broadway Los Angeles. Tonight was an electronica/dub competition with various artists playing bass laden rhythms that could be felt throughout ones sinuses. The patrons consisted of a hippy liberal leaning technologically savvy Generation Y crowd. In other words these are the types who look like they are borderline homeless but probably have enough brain power in the room to make the scientists who worked on the Manhattan project look like retarded monkeys. On the other hand I also felt that they would rather work on a bong than on enhancing the the theories behind the big bang.
