I was visiting family in North Flor— oh wait, I said “nothing but bald eagle photos,” didn’t I?– OK, here they are! Photos courtesy of my Sony A6600 in paradise- St. Teresa Beach, Florida. Two eagles perched. Come back tomorrow for nothing but eagles flying… including my absolute favorite eagle photo, and a special surprise.

There’s this random little place between Tallahassee and the gulf coast of Florida where you can pull off the two-lane road to see relics from the 20th century. It’s one thing to pass by and say, “Hmm that’s interesting,” and a whole other thing to stop and look at these vehicles from a bygone era. If you’re ever traveling south down 319, be on the lookout for a dirt road a bit south of Crawfordville where you can look at the car graveyard. Here is some background, and here are recent pics when I stopped to take a look.

Have we taken the SJW mindset too far? Even in college basketball’s March Madness, there are multiple teams with “Equality” sewn onto the backs of the players’ jerseys. A basketball team has 5 players on the court per the rules of the game. How long till someone is offended that there are 3 of one race, and only 2 of the other… then boycotts the game until there are an equal number? Then rules change to field teams of 6 on the court, and there must be 3 white players and 3 black players.
In the name of equality!
Where that leaves Asians or Native Americans is anyone’s guess. It’s a bit absurd to take all this social justice as far as some have taken it. With that said, I’m in full support of equal treatment of people of any and all races, genders, etc. It’s not like I disagree with the messages, but all of it just comes across as acts of guilt rather than a celebration.
Shall we not celebrate the diversity in our country, in the world? As legendary 90s band DCTalk once sang, “There is joy in diversity!” I don’t sense joy when uniforms have social messages on them like “Equality” or “Black Lives Matter” or “Freedom”. It is more divisive than it is unifying.
What do y’all think of this type of thing happening in sports like the NFL, NBA, and college basketball? Comment below and let’s chat!

This iPhone ad caught my attention within a few seconds of hearing the song. Check it out…
The song is called “The Conference” by a guy named Nitin Sawhney. The full track is below.
Nitin is a composer, producer, and musician. Click here for more bio details.
All of Apple’s commercials are produced by TBWA\Media Arts Lab.
Location. I haven’t quite narrowed it down yet, but I’m pretty confident this wasn’t shot in the US. We don’t have a lot of the things shown in the pictures below. Old Vespas, traffic circle signs designed like this, tall skinny vans.
UPDATE! This is Meagher Street (click link for Google street view) in Chippendale, NS Wales, Australia. Thanks to Nirk who commented below, with the location. Looks like a lovely town.
My best guess for the name of the person she’s talking to on the phone is Jackelyn Perra.

What a difference a few weeks can make! It wasn’t too long ago me and my pups were homebound for about a week in Nashville from ice and snow locking the city down. Picture 1 is in my snowy backyard. The rest of the pics are from sunny, sandy Florida where it got a bit chilly but the sun warmed us right up, a welcome change, in my opinion. I’m happy it’s spring, counting down the days till summer already! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
