Hows about you show us some personal pictures of your home?

[Camaero]

Since so many of us here are scattered around the world, I thought it might be cool if we all posted some personal pictures of the area we live, and what we do there.

**edit** I just realized that I don't seem to take any pictures without cars in them... sorry.:lol:

This is the central coast of California, San Luis Obispo county, as I see it:

Yes, we love hot rods around here. Poor Europeans don't know what your missin!

Anyway, I would love to see pictures of where you all live, as well as the kind of things you do to have fun. Personal pictures only please. (I.E. not some generic picture grabbed off google.)

[Chock]

Don't know what you're missing? What you want is one of these:

That's my 1972 Land Rover parked outside my house in crappy old Cheshire, England, and below is what it looked like when I found it and bought it in Oxford:

[Camaero]

You did a good job! Nice.:up:

[Chock]

Yup, the upgraded suspension means it has unrivalled off-road capability, look:

Alright I admit it, that picture is not near my home

:-) Chock

[Camaero]

Wow they really mean it when they say those things can go anywhere!

[Chock]

Bit of a cheat this one, but since there is photo-realistic terrain of the UK in Flight Sim, here's my house:

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j105/AlanBradbury/AlshouseinFSX.jpg

The plane is flying roughly South. The road under the port elevator of the plane is the A6 main road south to London (185 miles away), Manchester is about 8 miles North along that road (i.e. out the bottom of the picture). The railway line under the starboard engine is the line to Manchester, if you go south on that line, it runs to Buxton (where you get the spring water from). West (i.e. off the plane's right wing is Manchester Airport (about 2 miles away) and about 35 miles past that is Liverpool. If you go off in the direction of the top left, you get to the Peak District and the Lake District is near to that. That's where the Dambusters practised for their WW2 raids, it's also where I go gliding and is also the place which inspired the William Wordsworth poem 'Daffodils' amongst other things. Almost directly right of the plane's nose, about two miles away, is Woodford Aerodrome, owned by British Aerospace. It's where they test fly stuff and make some bits for Airbus aeroplanes. If you watch the war movie '633 Squadron', Woodford is where they filmed the Mosquito fighter-bombers 'crashing', by taxying them across the grass at high speed and retracting their undercarriages (which they probably regret now, since there aren't any more airworthy ones!) Since there are two airfields nearby, aircraft industry places and the main city of Manchester all pretty near me, I imagine one of Mr Putin's MIRV warheads is probably aimed right at my house.

Wow, that little table brings back memories. I stayed in a flat in Moscow, the small kitchen had the same 2-person table.

This strays from the topic, a little, but since we're talking about Mother Russia... me in Red Square, Sept 28, 1993, about 4 days before Khasbulatov and Rutskoy tried to stage a coup against Yeltsin. Tanks in the streets... ah, memories :)

I'm currently between homes, but let's see what's left in my Photobucket :)

This is my home town in Ireland, I live at the foot of the mountain this picture was taken from. The border with Britain is about half a mile behind me.

For the last year I've been living in Boston, this was the view from my window. The tracks are from the busiest light rail line in the country, and there was a fire station around the corner. Thankfully I'm slightly insomniac, otherwise.....

In three weeks I move back to my parents house in Ireland, to start job-hunting. Moving out as soon as I can, then final year.

The walls of this castle have seen among others Patton, Eisenhower (1945)
and Erich Honecker (SED party chief 1971-89) as guests.
When arriving in April 1945 the US-Army was hoping to find Hitler here (but he was not there at that time).
In the year 2003 the Ordo Militaris Teutonicus e.V. symbolical conquered the Burg
and declared it to the home castle of the order.

I don't have a single pic of the exterior of my house. Probably because it's a drab and ugly pre-war apartment building in NYC. Nonetheless, I will try to get one tomorrow.

OK. Here are a couple of pics from when my Ku-u-i-Pu & I lived, literally, on the Dock of the Bay in Sandy Beach, Baja Vallejo. This is the place where Jack London was rescued after his drunken swim/suicide attempt down the Carquinez Straits that he wrote about in Chapter 12 of John Barleycorn. The bar where he began that adventure was the same one in Benicia where I sold the local Newspapers when I was 10.

No Kevin. I'm not David Crosby. I know enough not to flush my pot down the toilet of a boat so it floats up alongside the hull.

Avon, me Darlin' girl. I only buy my tobacco and other smoking products from my Ind'in brothers and sisters. It's a holy thing. If you come, I promise to buy you some buffalo jerky. It is Ambrosia. regarding Pow-wow. It's the biggest one in the world. Chris Rock told a joke one time asking when was the last time you saw an Indian family chilling at the Red Lobster. Jennifer Wilbanks, the Runaway Bride saw it. She surfaced in the ghetto part of Albuquerque last year on the Friday of Pow-wow weekend with 30,000 crazy, drunken Indians running around. No wonder she called the cops.

I always find neat stuff there. Two years ago, I bought a painting by the Lakota actor, Michael Horse of a Lakota warrior painted on an actual handwritten account of the death of Benedict Arnold on London. Last year, I picked up a painting of Yei'-Bi'-Chi, the Surf Kachina, painted by a Navajo artist from Chin Le Arizona.

Here's the link to the Gathering of Nations website:

Whenever we visit the US, we bring back with us a couple of buffalo steaks - kosher, of course. It's the family favorite! :rock:

I bet buffalo jerky is the tops. I'm sure we were close when we had tons of biltong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biltong) to chew on last year when we visited S. Africa.

So we'll find a rabbi to sign off on it. I swear you were Ind'in in a previous life. That's why buffalo tastes so good to you. I'm the same way. The one thing I miss about Colorado was being able to buy fresh buffalo meat in the stores. I once butchered a friend's buffalo for him and got over 1100 lbs of meat from a 1500 lb carcass. It was so lean, we had to save every scrap of fat we could find in order to give the ground buffalo some body. My fee: 50 lbs of buffalo steaks. Yum-yum! Better than cheese! I'll take you up to the top of Sandia Crest and Tesuque Peak so you can see my world from 11,000 feet. I only take the tramway up to the Crest when the road is closed and I have to snowshoe into my sites up there. I also changed my signature to include my Myspace page at lonersassnofvalenciacty. I got the name from an adopt-a-highway sign Dogwoman & I saw on Cal Hwy 41 between Cambria and Paso Robles. Out in the middle of nowhere was a sign adopting the road from the Loners Association of San Benito County. We saw the sign, laughed and both said simultaneously.

"Shouldn't that be the LONER Association?"

[The Avon Lady]

So we'll find a rabbi to sign off on it.
We don't work like that. :nope:
I swear you were Ind'in in a previous life.
Maybe you got something there. I found this in my ancient ancestor's email archives. It's in Navaho - or maybe in Yiddish. Same thing.

So we'll find a rabbi to sign off on it.
We don't work like that. :nope:
I swear you were Ind'in in a previous life.
Maybe you got something there. I found this in my ancient ancestor's email archives. It's in Navaho - or maybe in Yiddish. Same thing.

Wow, I felt like I was in Blazing Saddles with Mel Brooks speaking Yiddish as an Indian. Now, if you're serious about learning Navajo, go to this link, the Voice of the Navajo Nation. They broadcast from Window Rock & Chinle over to Dzilth-Na-O-Dith-Hle. Of course, when you come out and meet a Navajo, be prepared to offer up your family history over the last 100 or so years. Most Navajo I know can routinely recite their family tree back 15-16 generations with the old ones going back even farther. Avon, darlin', I'll make a deal with you. I have been a butcher among my many occupations. You send me a link to the Kosher butchering regulations & I'll butcher & jerk the Buffalo meat myself according to Jewish dietary requirements. That way, no worries. Now what are the kosher rules for Frybread or Red or Green Chiles which are also de rigeur around here?

Still no photos of my house, but I went for a photo expedition yesterday and snapped this one. It's probably pretty exemplary of the mood in this area... warm lazy days near the water :up:
