Some Signs......

Shhhhhhh......it's a sekrit, don't tell any terrorists....

In case you needed to be told........

And one for the dyslexics in the crowd.......

Kinda says it all.......

Then, kinda doesn't really say anything.......

And this one is rather blunt....must be a Nunnery

Wow, what a heck of a road this must be.......

And all I can figure is that this must be in case Batman gets lost on the way home.....

There, now you've seen my collection of sign photos....well, at least the PG-13 ones.
Hope you smiled.

From M'Lady, and right back to her.....

A musical Interlude for her, not the romantic kind, just acknowledging her hometown, where her parents and siblings and Dragnlings still live.......

"Shutting Detroit Down" has a chance to be one of the most memorable country songs of its time because it's about a very real issue - our failing economy. People will look back in 10-20 years and remember the song as a reminder of these difficult times.

It's a political video, taking pot shots at Wall Street, and raising the working man up as innocent pawn. I personally don't completely agree with this completely....I think the UAW has quite a bit of culpability in making the Industry unprofitable....

And that from a Wollf who runs a Big Union Shop......oh well, enjoy the video. Dragn, I Love you.

PS.....we're not moving to Detroit.

As a follow up to the Swne Flu Post.........

It hit a little closer to home.....Wollfie the Elder, my 16 year old, had his High School closed due to the over reaction of school officials.

An Asian kid got sick at school, health folkes panicked....no school. Then the heat of a few hundred "reasonably" pi$$ed off Parental Units descended upon the Administration.....

Net result.....Wollfie the Elder and his cohorts are back in school again today.

Now.....because after re-reading my earlier Post, and realizing that I was ranting a bit at the "panic", I've decided to atone. I am truly apologetic. This is a little bit scary. So, what to do?

A Wollf Public Service. If you want to know whether or not you have the Swine/Mexican/H!V whatever the heck it is, follow the link below and follow the directions......

DO I HAVE THE SWINE FLU?

That's what I'm here for. You're welcome.

Silly Pirates........

I just Love Stupid Criminal stories.........

From the TIMES ONLINE

Anne Barrowclough
From a distance the large ship on the horizon looked like the perfect target, ripe for a successful spot of piracy.

But as the Somali pirates sped toward the vessel sailing near the Seychelles, they were horrified to see two boats and a helicopter set off from their target and launch their own counter-attack.

They had failed to spot, in the dazzling sun, that the 'merchant ship' they thought they were intercepting was, in fact, a French naval ship bristling with cannons, radar technology and armed commandos.

When the three pirate boats were spotted heading toward them the frigate Nivose, one of the ships patrolling the region as part of the European Union anti-piracy mission Atalanta, headed into the sun to camouflage its true identity before turning to confront its attackers.

Death on the high seas as pirates put to the sword
When the boats were close enough, Lieutenant Commander Jean-Marc le Quilliec sent his commandos out on outboards, with a helicopter to provide air support.

The helicopter fired two warning shots to stop the three boats from fleeing and within minutes the 11 pirates had surrendered.

Two of the attack boats were small skiffs which the pirates used as attack vessels and the third was a nine metre (30 foot) mother ship, used to transport supplies such as petrol, water and food.

Only one pirate was left on board the mother ship which had nothing on board except fuel and potates, said Lt Commander le Quilliec.

"He apparently thought the pirates had hijacked us," he said.

The commandos found two Kalashnikov assault rifles on one of the skiffs, ammunition, a rocket-launcher and five grenades.

The 11 captured pirates, some of them very young, were ordered to sit on the deck with their hands on their heads as French forces searched them.

"The guys we catch are getting younger and younger," said one navy soldier. "Look at this one, he can't be 17."

A French navy spokesman confirmed the capture of 11 pirates.

"The pirates are currently on the Nivose," he said.

"For the moment we don't have any indication of what the European Union forces want to do with these pirates."

The world's naval powers are dispatching an ever-growing fleet of warships in response to a scourge which is threatening to disrupt one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes...

They're getting younger and younger.....wonder if they have Pirate school?

I love happy endings.....and, contrary to popular belief, I really don't think that simply killing them all is the answer. More and more apprehension and trial is a better way to deter these unfortunates.......

Srsly. Well that, or kill them all.......
