Thread Of Positive Awesomeness

Skydiving... two parachutes PLUS the "will to survive" always worked for me.

Rock climbing or worse yet tight roping at the circus with no net is just... NO.

 

What I really want to know if who the heck took the photo??

 

The documentary film "FREE SOLO" is nail biting, fascinating and more than a little scary! Well worth the watch, Sandi ....... but if you have a serious fear of heights it's a tough watch.

 

Thanks Sandi, yes, the weather was over quickly. The devastation from the tornado a bit more. Thanks for caring

 

What a cool woman! I'd love to meet her and ride with her...well, MAYBE ride with her. Probably well behind her. She's definitely an inspiration! Check out this interview with her. @Martine and @BonnieCat, I think the two of you would enjoy this article.

I’m guessing she wears a customised helmet? Just like Marge in the Simpson’s show.

 

Did Marge ride a motorcycle? Guess I need to go back and watch some Simpson's episodes.

 

Interesting, I’ve never heard of bagger racing. She should try to get into MotoGP, now that would be fantastic.
Thanks Sandi

 

Thanks. Great read. When we ride, we always remind each other each of us is the only one riding our bike; same as her admonition to not let someone/something push you. That's sound advice for anything with wheels. Glad she's doing it.

 

This water may look more brown than awesome. But when you live in the desert in the midst of a 10-year drought, ANY water in the Rillito River is positively awesome to us. I took this photo yesterday morning after we'd had a big monsoon the night before. We are SO grateful for the rain!

 

The Devils Blood.
Iron oxide from the old mine waste reacting with limestone from the cliffs at Seaham, about 3 miles from my home, some of the scenes from Alien were filmed here, it's known as the blast beach by us local yokels.

 

Lovely spot is Seaham. A couple of super photo's

 

Thanks for the recommendation, Adie! We'll give it a watch. I'm not keen on heights...but I'm pretty brave if I'm watching someone else high up while I'm sitting on the couch.

 

GO ON - you can do it! It IS an amazing watch, I promise.

 

Mr. Sandi and I were meandering around a nice Tucson indoor/outdoor mall recently while we enjoyed a gelato. I saw these art "sculptures" in a shop window and thought they were fun and clever. I think these are what is called repurposed or recycled art.

This was my favorite. Of course because it's two wheels!


Love the waffle iron face. I would have checked out the prices and taken a closer look but the shop was already closed up for the day.

 

Scary …..

 

That’d make a good quiz question, guess the city.

 

Or if it’s America then you could roll out the old joke about American beer being like sex in a canoe, f&cking close to water, literally
