Until I personally visited the beaches at Big Sur, I did not realize that a nude woman could actually stand while pressing her shoulder blades against the calves of her legs. Impressive.

Sad to hear that Muhammad Ali is today in grave condition. I’ve actually met him on two occasions – once at the airport in Fort Bend, IN and another time on a flight from Chicago. On that Chicago flight, every passenger shook is hand as he boarded.

RE: Machine Gun Found at JFK

Unless a better picture shows otherwise, I’m seeing a semi-auto pistol. Not a “Machine Gun” here. Selector positions seem to show only Safe and Fire … no “Auto” in enlarged picture: The media doesn’t get many firearm articles right, do they?
