Amazing Chinook Pilot

This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a halo rescue mission. The pilot is a PA National Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the ass end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack on a steep mountain cliff and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear? If this does not impress you, nothing ever will.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive us our trespasses as we also forgive them that trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
Deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever
Amen.

Almost Knocked Down A Cyclist

Just had a tiff with a cyclist on the road this morning.

I was turning left at a t-junction with a zebra crossing.

There was a cyclist in front of me keeping left trying to turn right.

By right, he was supposed to keep right since he wanted to turn right.

But he kept left instead.

So i signaled left, wrongly presuming that he was about to make a left turn. I braked and almost hit him. He also braked and jerked his bike. He was extremely upset that i almost hit him.

He started to curse and swear at me. I wanted to curse and swear back at him but i shouted back at him,

"Uncle you’re in the wrong! You’re supposed to keep right if you wanted to turn right!”

Anyway, he continued with his tirade and insisted that he was not in the wrong.

He shouted back at me, "Want to report to police?"

I didn’t even horn at him. On hindsight, maybe i should have horned at him to tell him i was approaching from his right.

Crappy. Absolutely crappy.

The next time i see him again, i would have to slow down and pass by him on his left side instead of on his right side.
