Never got to fly the Concorde. I sure would have liked to though.

Here are some "Mug Shots"

Doing some spring cleaning - putting them up on an auction site, and thought the mug shot pun was too good to pass so here they are ;)
 
I remember it too, though I never drank any. I wasn't a diet soft drink kind of person.

They still sell it, although the ingredients and the label have changed. I think they still sell Tab as well.

We got those IMHO ugly mugs in the first picture almost 40 years ago as a gift. Not our taste in China. I'm sure others think they are beautiful, and they have a right to their opinion (even if it's wrong <wink/grin>)

Here's a much shorter spiral staircase, located in the Covent Garden Apple Store.

When I was in high school, they built a new school at a rival. They put in a glass staircase and for about 2 days after they opened the school, the boys discovered that if they stood under the staircase, they could get some exciting views of the girls (who were required to wear skirts or dresses back then).

The school caught on, barricades went up, and the stairs got carpeted.

I wonder what the architect wasn't thinking. ;)

Apple was thinking, the steps and glass floor are heavily frosted, preventing that from happening.
 
Building in Kutna Hora, a little town in The Czech Republic - I found this while I was semi-lost, looking for a cathedral:

We tend to wander off the normal tourist routes. I think we are more travelers than tourists. Getting away from the tourist routes allows you to discover the real place you are visiting and meet real people instead of vendors trying to make their living from the tours.

Not that there is anything wrong with catering to the tourists. As a musician in Florida I work in the hospitality industry and try my best to let the tourists have a nice experience while visiting us. It pays my mortgage and I hope they get good value for their dollars.

So instead of taking the bus to our destination, we walked and walked with the help of a map (and not the GPS). We got into one side street after another, zig-zagging to eventually approach our destination from the rear.

We saw a lot of interesting things, including this:

And the delightful surprise was found when I got to the corner of the block.

Been on an 'overnight' to Greensboro - toured the Blandwood Mansion former residence of a local politician and a North Carolina governor, John Motley Morehead (in the 1840s when the town was simply a country village w/ dirt roads); then stayed at the Proximity Hotel and ate dinner at their Print Works Bistro.

This morning did some shopping in Friendly Shopping Center, including a visit to the wonderfully smelling Savory Spice Shop - took a shopping list to 'replace' a bunch of our herbs & spices (and add a few new ones) - came home w/ about 18 items, shown below - labels hard to read, so the ones we bought are quoted below - we can't wait to start using them! Dave :)

Bohemian forest European seasoning
Cayenne pepper
Chives
Cracked rosemary

Frency thyme
Ground Grenada nutmeg
