Recently got back from a trip to my parents' place in the Bahamas and was downloading some pictures and found some nice/fun ones.
Snorkeling Deadman's Reef at Paradise Cove:
On the swim out to the reef, we met some friendly Loggerhead turtles who let us swim with them:
One of our favorite beaches (Xanadu):
One of our favorite hangouts (Bernie's - a literal shack right on the beach where Bernie and his wife Bernadette are the best hosts, make a killer Bahama Mama, and cook the freshest lobster, snapper, grouper, etc. while you wait. That's not Bernie behind the bar):
Our evening happy hour cocktails at the pool every night (just missing my Mom in this pic):

A twin to the first car I bought, a '74 Roadrunner, the only difference was mine had the engine size, 360, on the hood. That car is alive and more than well in the Las Vegas area. It now has a 487" engine and is scary fast.

Finally the wood floors in the 2 spare bedrooms are complete! Repainting the baseboards, what a pain in the arse. Next time, buy new ones. And, the Dayens Ampino is in it's new location!

Nice job Dave. Great looking room and nice little stereo setup there.

And behold, I have been to the mountaintop, where I was tempted by the the much desirable UDP-205, the fruit of Oppo. For it is pleasant to the ears. But verily, verily, it is also Rp 28,000,000. And the wages of partaking of it, at such a cost, is much poverty, and the wrath of the one that hath been given to me, the wife. So, thus, I forsook, and with sadness in my heart did I return to the land of my fathers.

Trust me, after a good number of days of the local cuisine (which is awesome I’m not dissing it) that A&W sign is like a light shining in the darkness. “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

peanut butter isn't a well understood concept outside of North America

I know. I had neighbors who came from Australia to Las Vegas and the only one who would touch it, regardless of brand, was the younger of their two kids. She loved it and nagged her parents to buy different brands until she hit the right one. After a while, the older kid started eating it too, unless they "cracked" after I moved back east.Cable atheist: They're just trying to get your money like a TV preacher!

Wow, peanut butter is a concept? Wish you'd have told me that in the 70s, man. Would have occupied me for hours. -
I was kind of shocked when I found out it wasn't a worldwide thing. About the only thing that would have upset me more than being allergic to PB was if I was allergic to burgers.Cable atheist: They're just trying to get your money like a TV preacher!

All hail PB. Jif Natural Cruncy for me.
