I love that song Canadian Sunset.

So I went to my genie in a bottle (my desktop) and googled it, so I can hear it whenever I like:

>       It's amazing what computer graphic artists can create. Attached is a re-creation of the USAir flight that made an emergency landing in the Hudson river, takeoff to touchdown, with ATC radio transmissions. This gives you a perspective of how quickly the US Air crew had to react to realize the outcome they experienced.  Watch the amazing ending......heroic indeed!

Probably won't see this one again anytime soon!

 

When they took the plane out of the Hudson River they ended up having to

Medical views on stimulus package

Apparently the American Medical Association has just weighed in on the new economic stimulus package . . .


The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.
 
The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

 

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.  Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

 

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!"

 

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.

 

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."

 

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were _______ at the whole idea.

 

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

 

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the _______ in Washington .

 

 

 

Looks like the skiing in Colorado is great this year Jim!

Interesting computer gif file:

Should caption be:

The American Economy, or Trusting Madoff, or Following Obama,

or Investing in Real Estate or is there a Golf theme going on here?

 

 

 

 

I designed this pdf drainage plan for the golf course.

No more plugged balls??

 

 

Continuing on my engineering topic,
