Banking Challenges

Thought this pic was a joke until I read other-wise. Apparently, this bank is located about 2.5 miles from a nearby ski resort. Guess I'd freak out too, if I encountered people with ski masks entering my bank. LoL.

'Course people don't have much reason to enter banks these days as the economy seems to take a bite out of people's savings. I doubt this poor little piggy is suffering from a bad case of the swine flu.....

Sunset Felucca Ride

Went on a sunset felucca ride on the Nile that was sooo relaxing. I'm fortunate to live about 10 minutes from the Cornish el Nil (along the Nile), where one can find a bounty of feluccas to take you sailing for a leisurely ride along the banks of the city. We had to hop over five feluccas, before we could get to ours on the end.

Our bright orange sail unfurled and we were off with the wind.

Across the way, we spotted other feluccas joining us on the Nile for a sunset cruise.

I was so utterly relaxed. My iPod sync'd with the mood of the sunset ride by softly playing Christopher Cross's "Sailing", which was the perfect song to sail to that evening.

Dusk gathered quickly. Sepia tones closed in around us, and a great number of sails dotted the darkening horizon.

Our captain was perched on the back, his arm languishly steering the tiller that directed the water craft along the gentle currents of the Nile.

Christopher Cross's song captured the magic of the ride as we rode off into the sunset....

"Sailing takes me away... to where I've always heard it could be... just a dream and the wind to carry me... and soon I will be free...."

The Choice.

So, after 70 years Archie has decided to marry. Will it be girl-next-door Betty? Or high maintenance Veronica? And what will his choice say to the masses? That he prefers sweet? Or vamp? Coming from someone who never settled... but is still an incurable romantic... I hope he marries for love. Or am I reading too much into a comic book? LoL. Annyhoo, which comic-licious are you pulling for?

got sand?

and ancient Egyptians raised pyramids out of the sand.....
