Stairway To Aleppo

[UPDATE: Some images and commentary have been deleted. They were posted long before I realized the true horror of the atrocities in Syria.]

Stairway to Aleppo Original

Residents try to find their belongings among the rubble left of their homes after what activists said was an air attack from forces loyal to Syria’s President Bashar Al-Assad in Bab Neirab, Aleppo, on July 27, 2013.

No Ball

No Ball Court

I remember playing No Ball. The games would go on until someone’s porch light came on, and we’d ignore it. Then someone’s mom would holler at us and the game was postponed. The score remained the same (343 to 352) until we resumed the following day and stopped again at sundown (441 to 455).

LOL FERRET: EPISODE 1

lol-ferret-snake

Although Bosley the Ferret passed away years ago, he still produces smiles. First posted on 8 November 2007, Bosley has staying power with a score of 1/2/2 and over 44,580 hits, despite the fact that I didn’t know there was an established protocol for posting “Lol” memes at the time (hence the font and non-meme-correct “LolSpeak”).

Thanks for all your visits and favorites, and I wish you all the best,
