Do you like your exploding volcano pictures with a dash of Northern Lights or lightning or perhaps insane sparks? Or do you fancy yourself more of a straight-up cloud-ash viewer? I could look at these pics all day long. So many cool things in each photo. Enjoy.

On the Road
Anyone ever take time to notice the newer freeway “panels” on the interstate? These are the “blockers” that protect the nearby homeowners from having to see and hear the way-too-close traffic. Milwaukee’s panels absolutely blow. My big complaint is the don’t “sit” nicely in place and even though they are brand new, they appear all buckled and crooked and yucky. These new stone ones won’t rust like the older ones, but they look like oversized Triscuits waiting to wilt in the elements.
By comparison, Illinois has really nice, tight, clean panels and I’m not happy at all.
Anyway: freeway panels: who knew!

This time: Ford
Me again. I can’t get over these recent batches of car commercials. Now, I’m fixated on Ford TV commercials. We like Ford, right? Ford kind of squeeked through the auto industry beat-down in one piece. My main complaint is: their spokesman looks like he just stepped out of the Workers Party or Bolshevik Revolution. It’s amazing what the absence of logos on clothing and hats (OMG with that hat! A baseball hat with no log is outright weak!) can do to an outfit.
I would settle for a patterned shirt or a splash of color, but nooooo. The wardrobe team wanted to relate to the working man. I guess.
Long live the proletariat!

Coolness
I ran across some cool installations or environmental art or … I don’t know what it is. Anyway, I didn’t want you to think I was hatin’ on everything out there. Check it out.

The Heiser Group
I don’t mean to be hating on Marianne Skafiete of the Heiser Toyota tv commercials … she seems like a decent, hard-working South-sider. Someone tricked her into being the company spokesman, though. Her shocking red hair and dreary delivery might work for some, but her constant mispronunciations of easy words are like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Her best? “X-specially”. Have you seen and heard these? Would you like to buy some wheels from Marianne?
They’re conveniently located on Highway “Hunert” … ugh.
