Party time in Rio

The Academicos de Santa Cruz led the first of seven samba schools, each featuring 4,000 or more dancers, floats and 300-piece percussion sections, past 100,000 spectators in Rio. Courtesy Ananova

Wow Loddy, it looks a lot like outside our house, except it's facing the wrong direction..

Neat!!

[grannie9]

Ok all you guys, cool your jets... ;)

I'm sure most of you have you calendars marked but in just in case, I wanted to remind you that today is Texas Independence Day.
Today in 1836 the plucky band of pioneers then known as "Texicans" declared their independence from the tyrannical rule of Mexico and the despot Santa Anna. This cheeky declaration in the face of Santa Anna and against the massive well equipped Army of Mexico precipitated the titanic struggle that included the battle of Goliad, the battle of the Alamo, and ended with the defeat of Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto.
These patriots met at Washington-on-the-Brazos and set into motion a far reaching series of events that eventually culminated in the independence of Texas -- the face of the North American continent would be remade in a fashion that even the most clairvoyant could not have predicted.
The gist of all of this is that even if you're on a diet, it's OK to "pig out" today on enchiladas, refried beans (frijoles), chili con queso, fajitas, and soapapillas.

Think I'll go to Rio...
Yup, I've been laying doggo for two days or so.
Been busy.
Trying to find a vacuum hose leak in my darn red car of evil that is killing my brakes.
Hopefully I can nail it down to where it is.
Considering it's also making the engine run funny.
(90 VW Jetta, vacuum hoses aid the fuel rail in metering out fuel, as well as go to the vacuum brake booster. A good sized leak somewhere close to the brake booster would kill my brakes and make the engine run funny at idle. Just finding where the leak would be is the hard part.)
Kinda fun to do withut a vacuum diagram as well, some idiot tore the sticker off of the hood at some point before I got my hands on the car.
May they burn in hell, festering in their rotting skins with their eyes boiling down their cheeks as cacodemons pound their netherworldly nether-regions for all eternity.

Thank you for your view of the world.

Kathleen, Springtime is on the way, there's nothing but melting going on now.

Loddie, What a cute angel.

Wes, Love those flowers.

Zits Bad Hair Day

[lodwick]

I think you'll have more success in Rio than with the Jetta. Here's a link to the recalls for your rig...take a very deep breath before mashing here .

Best of luck with it.

Bon Jour~ Quotes

Andy Rooney in one of his 60 minute segments, where he was talking about being in France during WWII, commented that the French surrendered to the Germans in about 20 minutes.

France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks, it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes.
---Mark Twain

I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.
---General George S. Patton

Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion.
---Norman Schwartzkopf (I thought it was humblegunner?)

We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it.
----Marge Simpson

As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure.
---Jacques Chirac, President of France
As far as France is concerned, you're right.
---Rush Limbaugh

The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee.
---Regis Philbin

The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know.
---P.J O'Rourke (1989)

You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses, and he wears a beret. He is French, people.
---Conan O'Brien

I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France!
---Jay Leno

The last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching into Paris under a German flag.
--- David Letterman

Next time there's a war in Europe, the loser has to keep France.

Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves around him.
