Imponderable #26: Nice, France

18 Nov

November 18, 2011

Also known as the Peggy Bundy Act.

Is it a wise legal precedent to require sex in a relationship?
“But your honor, it wasn’t rape, I had to have sex with her. It’s the law!”

And by putting a monetary value on sex, has this judge made all wives de facto prostitutes?

There’s a lot more to say but I am not sure the question is Imponderable. However, it does give me a headache.

At any rate, this is yet another great argument against marriage. Way to go, France.

I have been saying for years that, one way or another, every man pays for sex. Oh, not always in money, but in some way, somehow, no sex is free.

The guys reading this know what I’m talking about.

Now thanks to this judge, not having sex costs a guy too.

What the Hell was James Brown thinking when he sang “It’s a Man’s World?”

The question is Imponderable.

But I bet I’d understand it if I were Soul Brother Number One.

Picture Postcard: San Diego Fireworks

17 Nov

November 17 2011

I took this a few years ago at Petco Park in San Diego. After every weekend Padres game they had fireworks. The upper deck was the best place to see them because we had the whole downtown cityscape as a backdrop. This picture was taken early on in the display before the smoke made photography almost impossible. All you got pictures of was bright smokey haze. While as far as fireworks photos go this may not be as exciting as the Fourth of July on the Hudson, I like it because, quite honestly, it was the only shot I took not obscured by haze, smoke, or glare. And it is kind of nice.

OK, actually, this is a verrrrrrryyyyyy last-minute replacement for the Picture Postcard originally set to run. I pulled it because it is going to be a part of a very special theme week (plus a couple of days) coming up next week. Details forthcoming in the next Sneak Peek of the Week. What makes the theme week so special? SPECIAL GUESTS! Come back Sunday for details.
