Wikipedia describes Albatross as follows:
"Dwight T. Albatross is the irate, often intoxicated friend of Eric Powell who has made many appearances in the comic's letter comics, as well as in person at the 2006 Comic Con.

Dwight had been arrested for destroying issues of The Goon in retribution for his unjust termination at the hands of Powell."

End of trail!

At this point, we had ridden 9.03 miles around the James River on both of the banks of it. Very challenging trails as there were several different parks that make up the loop.

Here is the link to the whole collection of pics.

Forest Hill Park Mountain Bike Trail

"Description: Short small network of trails through a formerly fabulous (100 years ago or so), then dilapidated, now archeological find type of site. This park has been neglected for so long it has become beautiful again. Trails in this park were part of the Xterra race (June 2004). These trails are accessible from Reedy Creek (which is along the Buttermilk trail). Excellently difficult to climb hills, both single track and paved. An excellent whoop-dee-whoop on the East end (a bit hard to find, go over the creek near Forest Hill Avenue). Short trails, but worth exploring while riding the Buttermilk/Belle isle trails."

Eating beef ' is less green than driving?

According to the article that i read, "Producing 2.2lb (1 kilo) of beef generates as much greenhouse gas as driving a car non-stop for three hours, it was claimed yesterday."

They have got to be mental!!

"Taking into account all the processes involved, they said, four average sized steaks generated greenhouse gases with a warming potential equivalent to 80.25lb of carbon dioxide.

This also consumed 169 megajoules of energy.

That means that 2.2lb of beef (1 Kilo) is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions which have the same effect as the carbon dioxide released by an ordinary car travelling at 50 miles per hour for 155 miles, a journey lasting three hours or the amount of energy consumed would light a 100-watt bulb for 20 days.

Most of the greenhouse gas emissions are in the form of methane released from the animals' digestive systems, New Scientist magazine reported."

Who would have thought that cow farts were the main reason for the Greenhouse Effect??

Their answer is for us to stop eating beef!! What a good answer...NOT!! If we were to stop eating beef, what would happen to all the cows? Would we stop feeding them and let them die? This sounds like something PETA thought up and is trying to push their Vegan Liberal thinking on us. Did they ever stop to think about all the cows left out in the pasture so to speak? So, for the last 2500+ years, cow farts have been accumulating in the atmosphere and are going to cause a global climate shift? This is ridiculous to me, but hey, I love to eat a good steak!!

Global Temperature

The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument aboard NASA?s Aqua satellite senses temperature using infrared wavelengths. This image shows temperature of the Earth?s surface or clouds covering it for the month of April 2003. The scale ranges from -81 degrees Celsius (-114? Fahrenheit) in black/blue to 47? C (116? F) in red.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone, an equatorial region of persistent thunderstorms and high, cold clouds is depicted in yellow. Higher latitudes are increasingly obscured by clouds, though some features like the Great Lakes are apparent. Northernmost Europe and Eurasia are completely obscured by clouds, while Antarctica stands out cold and clear at the bottom of the image

Private Submarines?



I would have to say that this hits the top in the luxury travel category! This to me is the epitome of decadence. Yes you too can have a private submarine to travel the Earth's Oceans undetected by foreign powers.

The Phoenix 1000 pictured here is at the top of my list to purchase after I make my first billion dollars!! I can t wait. It has about 5000 sq/ft of living space in it and can be custom designed to meet your every need! With a $78 million price tag, all but the uber-rich can purchase one of these.

We rode this one 5 times!!

Bobby Brown fears he is terrorist target?


We all know how imprtant Bobby Brown is to the music industry. He had a hit or to way back in the late 1980s and early 1990s and then vanished off the face of the earth only to be married to Whitney Houston! What a pair they made!! So for him to make a comment like this is just par for the course.

Bobby Brown has confessed he is scared of the fact that he may be a target for al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.The singer became aware of a threat, when Sudanese writer Kola Boof wrote about the leader's alleged infatuation with his estranged wife Whitney Houston.

Brown has taken measures to increase the security around him since he read the claims.On an Australian radio show, the Being Bobby Brown star claimed: "Come on, if anyone is threatened by al-Qaeda they'd take it seriously. "I figure if Bin Laden wants me, and everybody is looking for him, it won't happen. But if he wants to try and find me for something so stupid, then he can if he wants. I have to leave it in the hands of a higher power."
