Imponderable #100: The Swimming Pool

12 Jul

July 12, 2013

In honor of the 100th Imponderable (a feat which I, with my short attention span and chronic laziness, never thought I would reach), I present this week a double helping of only in the summer Imponderables.

This is a teen movie come to life. Think about it- you are all alone and a woman wants to swim, totally naked, in your pool while her husband is gone. Who is going to say no? Unless the woman is built like Roseanne Barr, no one would. So she swam around for 20 minutes, during which the man had about a million fantasies run through his head, and wham bam, long story short, no one should be surprised that his house was robbed. What could be a better distraction?

Try a small inflatable raft.

raft

Jeez Louise! An inflatable rubber raft, in public, on multiple occasions. It has to be love. Edwin Tobergta, Raft F*cker and Rosie the Raft, sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G.

Or worse.

What is wrong with this nutjob?
The question is Imponderable.

A RAFT?????

Summer is the cruelest season. These crimes would never have happened in the freezing winter.

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.
