They wear red flight suits to do this in Snowdonia. I think I'd need brown trousers...

Eyes Eclipse 2017 Web Application

I tried seeing the eclipse today, I didn't manage to do that(see picture below). I was told that my sister in Olympia, WA. with around 90% totality and using double sunglasses could barely see it and that glass dark as a welder's goggle is needed to get pictures. I wish I had known that beforehand.

TSA explains inconvenient airport security rules

Flyers at some US airports are already being asked to remove their laptops and tablets from their baggage for a separate trip through the scanners.

Aren't they a little slow with this?

It's been the case at airports in Australia, UK, EU since about 2005 when I started lugging a laptop overseas, always have to remove it from carry on and scan it separately.

These pictures are humorous, but are they silly? So, they are here. Like the previous archive, the one below has only a selection of the pictures there.

The only possible problem with having one is if the insanity is contagious.

Screen protector.jpgInteresting "stuff"

I thought this might fit on my new phone(Samsung Sky), but definitely was wrong. I tried to get everything back into the case to return it, but by the time I had done that, the package definitely looked opened and I think the store would not want it back. Does anyone here have an iPhone 6 or 6S and want it? I will ship it to you if no one else asks for it first.
