    Golden rays of sun. :D

    But in this case, silver.

    I still like sunrays myself. B) I saw plenty driving to Utah a long time ago. Rainbows and double rainbows too. It was a nice trip!

    Totally dumb luck. Picture's not doctored up at all. Just perfect lighting. Taken with my cellphone camera too.

    That's my back yard, BTW. Everything you can see in that picture, I own.

    When I was a kid (young teen), my father and I put a small fish pond in my parents' back yard, which they maintained for many years. When we were 'researching' and planning to buy aquatic plants for it, I remember reading the following excellent advice re: aquatic gardening.
    The best thing about aquatic gardening is: no weeding.

    Let me tell you some stories about lily pads and what they can do to sluice gates.

    When I was a kid and fished Spirit Lake Idaho, we fished the lily pads. The lake had large inlet areas just covered in pads. I would see some monster Large mouth pulled out of the small open water areas among those pads.

    It's a box full of nothing, albeit a thoughtfully laid out one -- $50 worth of parts in there. At typical hifi margins, a $1000 component.

    How do you know what the value of the parts in there are? The photo isn't big enough to identify part numbers. It's also a custom motherboard that probably required a fair amount of R&D and manufacturing budget to bring to production.

    It's not accurate for you to say that there's $50 worth of parts inside.

    Also for the record the MSRP is $2,200 not $1,000. :)

    It’s actually the audiophile version, built up with heavy high-quality materials and structurally much heavier than its competition

    Note that the vehicle he avoided has stopped for no visible reason. The lane in front of him is clear.

    He stopped for the yellow dozer/tractor that for some reason was on the freeway.

    I see it now, the dozer (back hoe) is hidden untill it swites lanes in front of the black van. Good catch.

    A bulldozer would have tracks like a tank instead of pneumatic tires.

    Killdozer would have three members like Rush and Triumph.
