Love this, attempted to be hidden by shipping containers but that doesn't stop Google Earth. You have to love tech Disney.

The Millennium could have used some Christmas Tree Branches ontop as camouflage

Our special needs DS has worked at the Salvation Army for quite a while now. They really appreciate the donations...! :)

Being serious...clueless as to what the issue with Goodwill is.
If you don't want to share here, perhaps a PM? Or not. Up to you, of course. :)

I give money to the Salvation Army, donations to GoodWill.

I was curious to what the 'problem' is with GoodWill.

Wow! Such opulence!!!
It is amazing what some people's lives were like, even way back in the day, compared to others.

Things are STILL like that lol, just a different type of opulence.
I mean, look at the Emirate Kings. Supreme leaders, "Elected" Presidents of many nations, and the ultra rich (like Bill Gates and Co).

Instead of big military and slaves, they have an army of private planes, car collections, and body guards.

More amazing pics, Cesar!!! :)
And, yes, earthquake damping systems are pretty interesting, and seem to be working pretty well where they are used. They should only get better with time, and more study...! :)

Unfortunately, corruption is still rampant.
Thats why people died in Mexico city, a ton of new apartments buildings of small size... fell down because despite "being modern". They were modified or cheapened in their security.

For example, one of the most famous cases...the owner "decided" to remove cargo walls to make more space for more offices and reduce the size of the pillars. Making the building incredibly weak to quakes...
All while faking the "reviews" by the inspection officers about security..etc..
The building was less than a few months when It collapsed in the quake.
The owner at first said everything was "all-right" and in legal order. And paid bribes, played the game of making excuses and lawyers.. and I wouldn't be surprised that he flees out of the country when things fall apart.

Of course, its very rare to have these super tall buildings from being cheapened. Because they are very expensive, get a ton of attention and other stuff.

Love the Declaration with the amazing penmanship!
Mostly, a long lost art. DWifey still has amazing handwriting, but, me not so much.

No way can I post DWifeys siggy, 'cause it's waaayyyyy too legible, and we don't know any of y'all remotely close to that well...!!!!! :hilarious: ;)

As an artist, I actually "developed" my signature so that it's legible and easy to sign while being pretty at the same time...it really, REALLY stank when I got married and went through the name-change. :cautious:;):joyfull:

Not only can my moms not cook they aren't good drivers either:banghead: One of them had a Chevy Chevette and half the time she used it she flooded the engine. I can't even count how many times I would walk to the church and get it started for her:cautious: We finally took the keys from one and the other doesn't drive much any more. We had the good sense to put them both on a bus route:joyfull:

Yes, the little darlin' :rolleyes: managed to knock the bag of dog food off the kitchen table, and it poured out all over the floor. I was in the other room and heard something fall, so I went to look. There he was . . . land shark that he is . . . gobbling up as much spilled dog food as he could, before I could sweep most of it up! :devilish: And just so you know, he did just have his dinner no less than 5 minutes prior to that!! :facepalm:
