A new Thanksgiving Video

This is a melancholy video that reminds us of the things that we are most grateful for during the harvest and Thanksgiving season. It is a video of nostalgia.

Happy Thanksgiving

Afghanistan War Casualties

I have been working diligently for the last several days to prepare pages listing the Afghanistan War Casualties from the US. I will be posting again real soon. I already have the alphabetical casualties list ready and accessible. I am now working on the one by dates. It is also available although still under construction. I have had lists at other sites for years. It is just my own little way of supporting our troops though I may not support the war.

It’s November already

Well, with Halloween behind us, we begin looking forward to Thanksgiving. It’s hard to believe that it’s only seven and a half weeks until Christmas! Count’em. Seven and a half weeks. Yikes!

I thought this Thanksgiving video would get us heading in the right direction. Enjoy.

Caroline’s Halloween Costume

Is it possible that she is spoiled?

A little more of musical group Zero Tolerance

Here’s another small piece of footage that I have of the Zero Tolerance performance. The other parts can be seen by scrolling down to yesterday’s post. It seemed that everyone liked that performance a lot.

You are welcome to leave your comments. I’d love to hear from you all. Enjoy.

more from the SC Jazz Festival

One of the groups that performed for the 2009 SC Jazz Festival was Zero Tolerance from Fayetteville, NC. Here are two videos highlighting a portion of their main stage performance.

South Carolina Jazz Festival

The Town of Cheraw, South Carolina celebrates the birthday of Dizzy Gillespie by honoring him with the SC Jazz Festival the weekend nearest his birthday. Talented musicians are featured on multiple stages throughout the town. Most of the performances are free to the public. This year Lady Di and Company, a popular group from Florence, SC performed on main stage and this is a portion of that performance. I will post additional portions of their performance on a separate video.

A creative ‘clean energy’ alternative

Denmark is a very flat country and they are very committed to clean air (except for massive cigarette smoking which is awful). Like the Netherlands, Denmark is very much ‘into’ bikes. Being a ‘people watcher’, I thought I’d show you some of the creative ways I saw them using bikes. This is what you see when the crime rate is very low.

This first photo, I took thinking it looked comical, but when I saw the photo, I began thinking it had a deeper meaning. Notice the ‘passenger’ blanket has a hole in it and she looks a little ‘down’. Perhaps this is her transportation to a hospital or a drug addiction program, or something.

I’m sure the guy in back is ‘drafting’.

Always some handsome guy trying to steal the show!

“Honey, it’s your night to pick up at the day care.”

Do you think he stands a prayer?

Delivery wagon?

If you ride, you gotta pull your own weight.

The green flag has dropped. Notice the grocery shopper.

“Wait for me!”

A Musician has to get his start womewhere.

Using the cell phone while going down the road.

Should he write them a ticket?

And baby makes three.

New friends and old.

Wieliczka Salt Mine, Krakow, Poland

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a few photos from the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Krakow, Poland. The salt mine was designated a World Heritage Site in 1978 and remains on that list today. Because of the low light level in the salt mine, I was unable to video it, so I decided to do the next best thing. I made a lot of photos and worked them into a video. Enjoy.
