Posted about 12 new photos to: www.flickr.com/photos/pegleg000/Playing hooky today... I had some bad sausage last night... think I'll watch the stock market free-fall some more... or maybe I'll sort through my collection of Nigerian offers... I have 187 of them. They're such nice letters, nice people. They're offering me $5M to $30M... just for a few hours of my time, in a deserving cause. |

I get them also, so I just delete them.
BTW: I hope you are feeling better.

I get them also, so I just delete them. Some of them are so clever, funny, that I started to collect them. Maybe write a book.  I understand that they have been successful in scamming some big $$$ from quite a few people. BTW: I hope you are feeling better. Thanks. I'm feeling ok, but just in case.... staying home. |

Great pics Pegleg -- It was hard to believe those first few pix were taken in the US...
Dateline:NBC did a cool segment on the Nigerian Scammers where they set up an international sting and actually got one of the principal people on camera talking about it... NBC couldnt have anything done legally because they were in Switzerland at the time... But it was interesting to see how deep the rabbit hole goes

Windmill reminded me of Pea Soup Andersens which was in Carlsbad just off the freeway. Used to hold some Marine Corps training there as it was a central locaton for all our West Coast bases to reach. Stayed there and they did have wonderful pea soup!!!!!!

Stayed there and they did have wonderful pea soup!!!!!!  Funny you should mention Pea Soup Andersen's. The original, opened in 1924, is less than 3 miles from Solvang, in Buellton. They're sort of a landmark in the area, with billboards up and down hwy 101 for at least a 100 miles. We had lunch there a few months ago, thought the food was ok, but the kitsch was something else. Worth a visit. |
