A picture is worth

Not sure if you don’t live in the U.S. if you know how bad the phone calls selling stuff and trying to scam you can get here sometimes. Well, we got a phone call the other day that seems to show the scammers at least are getting braver and braver every day.

Take a look at the name showing on the Caller ID. This pic is from my phone’s camera and except for the file name, has not been edited or cropped in any way.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) broke through a rock wall, into the abandoned Gold King Mine in Colorado, releasing millions of gallons of toxic waste-water into the Animas River. The EPA initially said ONE million gallons; then they revised their figure to THREE million gallons.

Environmental activist Erin Brockovich claims that the EPA is lying about the volume of the spill (according to a story in the [I]Associated Press[/I]).

From the [I]AP[/I] story — “A series of congressional hearings investigating the spill will begin Wednesday [today]. Republican committee leaders in the House and Senate say that EPA officials have withheld documents that could explain what went wrong.”

When you flip your hydroplane,
get away from the wreck as quickly as possible.
It helps a lot if you can walk on water.

Reportedly, this prototype has been replaced by a newer Northrop Grumman design, designated the B-21.
But, I haven’t seen any pictures of the B-21 that are as cool as the one above.
