Current Earth-Destruction Status

Due to popular demand (i.e. I told somebody about it and can’t remember whom), here’s an indication of the current Earth-Destruction Status courtesy of the International Earth-Destruction Advisory Board. Glad to be of service.

No shit, Armstrong…

Travel required!

Although I am fortunate enough not to be looking for a job anymore, an interesting opening was pointed out to me. Unfortunately, I don’t fit the profile in several important factors (Not being USian, being less fit than your average portion of fish&chips… although I would just about still fit the age bracket). One thing struck me as a qualified linguistic pedant though: Who on earth (or, as the case may be, off earth) would want to apply for this job if frequent travel was not an option? I mean, these folks travel more in a single go than anybody else, for f’s sake!

Dead Cars

As most people who know me can attest, I’m a total derelict junkie (Kindly note: Not a totally derelict one). Imagine my delight then, when I heard that the Car Cemetery in Kaufdorf would open its doors to the public last weekend. Of course, I just had to be there. My initial thoughts of “How many people can this possibly be of iterest for” were proved wrong as soon as I approached the village and saw a massive field set aside for visitor parking - and mostly full! The organising committee estimated between 6000 and 7000 visitors… bloody hell!

Anyway, here’s some shots of dead cars for those who haven’t had their rust-and-decay-fix for today. Might be an idea to get your tetanus shots before opening the gallery.
