Surf City USA....
I've been surfing the web since 1998 and before the addition of a family and the advent of the world of blogs I had more time to actually peruse some interesting websites. Over the years I have added and culled hundreds. Here for your viewing pleasure are a few of the ones that have won a permanent place on my "favorites" list. I tend towards the quirky and photographic.
Roadside America: An adventure travelogue featuring points of interest discovered along America's highways. I was attracted to the site because an old friend and I trade postcards and snapshots of just this sort of thing..like the world's largest chest of drawers he found in North Carolina and the world's largest walleyed pike I viewed in Minnesota. Currently featured on this website is "Marsh's Free Museum--Home of Jake the Alligator Man, Long Beach, Washington". And don't miss the Muffler Man compendium. I've seen several of these.
On the Road: Join Matt Frondorf as he drives from the Statue of Liberty to the Golden Gate Bridge, his camera clicking at every mile. John installed a 35 mm. camera pointing out the side of his car and synchronized it to his odometer. A picture was automatically taken ever single mile as he drove from New York to California. Interesting stuff and frankly something I would like to try, perhaps in New Mexico.
The Ultimate Taxi: If you're a digital guru you'll love Jon Barnes and his "wired" taxi cab in Aspen. In the early days of his wired cab Jon had his laptop going and logged on to a chat message board so you could "talk" to him in real time as he drove. I did on several occasions. I think that became a little too distracting and so is probably not still functional. Check out some of the pictures of his fares. I once spotted a couple from Dallas I used to know.
Leave it to Beaver: Need I say more. Consistant readers will know that I'm a Beaver fan. I was exactly the same age as The Beav when the program originally aired, had an over achieving older brother and my Mom stayed at home and always had dinner ready on time. I was The Beav. Beaver is now on TV Land every night at 8:30 and is one of the few programs that the bride, child and I consistantly try and watch together.
Under Fire, Images from Vietnam: Catherine Leroy's tribute to the best of Vietnam combat photography. Catherine herself is in that category and was captured briefly by the North Vietnamese Army while getting some of her shots. I've had the privelage of corresponding with Catherine and sending her some of Joe Galloway's photos for future inclusion in her gallery.
Enjoy these....more forthcoming.
