Central Park from the Top of the Rock

Pretend it's still Thursday, and I didn't flake out on yesterday's picture...

But, in all fairness -- I got a great one for you. This was taken from our "bucket" (the veranda to our stateroom) on Halloween evening.

Rainbow's end (at sea)

A quick squall followed by a quick clearing and some nice sunshine equals a rainbow.

Now, where the HELL is that pot of gold?!?!?

The first of the vacation pics

Just got back from a 11-night cruise (you didn't even know I was gone, did you!?!?!?)

I promise this won't turn into "Paul's Vacation Pictures" blog, but I do feel the need to show a few of the better ones.

This is from "The Dig", one of the aquariums at Atlantis on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. We actually weren't supposed to go to Nassau, but we got diverted from RC's private island in Haiti (Labadee) because of 1) a "labor action" on the island, and 2) Hurricane Paloma.

Frolicking in the surf

Don't hold back -- Tell me how you really feel

Firemen Training

Driving down 101 one day, I caught a glimpse of this stream of water coming from the top of a ladder behind a strip mall. After driving around, I came across these folks doing some high hose training.

I'm a huge fan of firefighters. They risk everything to keep us safe. Truly heroes in my book, each and every one.
