Something different for the Weekend

Posted by marc on September 19th, 2009

You might know the picture of the “Marlboro Marine” from the assault on Fallouja in November, 2004. The guy that took the pictures did a follow up on the soldier.
If you have 15 minutes to spare – it is quite worth to watch.

Nice Story

Posted by marc on September 15th, 2009

My mother and her husband did visit tonight. They came with the camper so we had dinner in the camper outside my place. Later we did watch a few pictures they took and i did show them a few of mine. Than they went off to bed.
I did check emails and a friend from Singapore wrote on facebook that she left her phone in the cab.
So i called her number and had the cab driver in Singapore on the line. He found the phone in the car. I took his number – as he claimed that the battery is almost dead – just in case. Than i wrote my friend that the guy has the phone and his number. But she had no more extra phone. She messaged her address and i did call the guy again.
Also i told her to call with her pc. Than she tried with skype (did not think to do that before) but no credit. In the meantime i directed the cab driver to her place. 2 friends of her from austira did follow that thread and got into it as well. They called it “little-good-night-comedy” which is was – sort of…
At last Lucia came back online again: “EPIC!!! I HAVE IT BACK! awesome taxi driver came back, even took me to 7/11 to buy some cigarettes and brought me back home. He’s almost as awesome as you Marc!!! “
Happy End!

Now you see – you do need Facebook and of course you do need the internet!!

Posted by marc on September 15th, 2009

This was the best day for me. You walk from green gras towards the no vegetation zone and than up to look down on everything. The moon was out there again till mid day, blue sky and sun.
