Gary you seem to be on the wrong side of the rifle and rocks, I am worrying, man!  >:(

It's okay, my Press Pass is an indestructible shield protecting me. (Actually, the trick is gaining the confidence of those who can protect you. Letting the Marines know, that you know, how not to get yourself, and more importantly, themselves killed. Otherwise, you're stuck at base camp smoking cigarettes, even though you don't smoke.)

That's how I talk to my kids (even though i smoke) :)

Jakov ... I am amazed that people who can read still smoke.  (When you come to LA we'll have a chat.)

Are they as old as the palm trees, or have they each planted their own when they were kids?
Great image!

Hahaa, I love #26! Such an apt title. Might even trump the cat as my favourite so far. :)

Were these the 1984 Olympics?
Yugoslavia (men) won the bronze medal then :)

It looks like they are floating in absence of gravity (and not enjoying it!)

Agree. Classical. It also gives the feeling this might have been during WW II.
