My Kids Do Listen To Me

After all these years of asking for things to be tidied up, computers to be logged off, teeth to be brushed now, I was beginning to think the kids never listened to me.

This morning at breakfast I saw a Lego cannon mounted by using a couple of 2x1 brick with a + axle hole and some 2 stud length axles. I commented on how they made a good red cross.


When I got home tonight I found this cute 1980's looking ambulance on the dining table.

Factory Gate

I passed this factory the other day, and was impressed by the shadows on their turnstiles. I just had to conspire to pass by at the same time of day with the camera.

Silicon Valley or Sodium Valley?

This is a satellite view of Silicon Valley, actually it is the salt evaporation basins in the Fremont area, on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay.

I like the green ponds, they seem to be brushed in.

If you click on the "View Larger" you will see a splash of lime green, look carefully and you will see that part of the image was taken at a different time, half that pond is white.

If you soom out you will see a different set of images, here you can see the ponds are flooded with bay water, and the salt coloration is not as vivid.

I wonder if there is a Google Earth chronological view, where you can go back in time.
