Santa says black and white stripes. I would prefer a gaping hole in the forehead of this SOB

The Vatican Gardens (Giardini Vaticani): People often think that the Vatican is made up of only the basilica and the neighboring buildings, but the grounds behind the main structures are actually quite large. Although you can't visit most of the Vatican (you need a special permit to enter the Vatican grounds), guided tours take small numbers of visitors to admire the beautiful Vatican Gardens. If you enjoy touring gardens, you can sign up for a tour at the ticket office of the Vatican Museums

Greenbelt (AP) - The president of the North Beach chapter of the Hells Angels has pleaded guilty to federal drug and gun charges.

Thirty-eight year old John Beal of Dunkirk is scheduled to be sentenced March 24th in federal court in Greenbelt. He faces up to 20 years in prison for distribution of cocaine and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Beal was arrested last July after an undercover investigation of another motorcycle gang, the Warlocks.

Prosecutors say federal agents posed as Warlocks and went to a Hells Angels party in Calvert County. They saw semiautomatic pistols that Beal said has been strategically placed so gang members could use them immediately for protection.

Prosecutors say Beal was also seen giving cocaine to a Warlocks member and told one of the ATF agents he could provide the agent with cocaine.

Angel Decoy:  Photos of an Air Force C-130 releasing flares to repel heat seeking missiles.  The pattern formed by these "decoys" are how they got their name... 'angel decoy'.  It's truly awesome!  Because maneuvers are usually in remote areas and over water, the general public does not get to see these exercises.
 

Thank you Santa

Respect the person who has seen the Dark side of motorcycling and lived.

 

This goes to prove that I have too much time on my hands and need to get a life.

Word of the Day
exigent \EK-suh-junt\ adjective

1 : requiring immediate aid or action
*2 : requiring or calling for much : demanding
Example sentence:
The demands of even the most exigent of bosses can be tolerated if he or she has real influence with upper management when it comes to recommending raises.
Did you know?
"This writ seemeth to be called an Exigent because it exacteth the party, that is, requireth his expearance or forthcomming, to answer the lawe." Writer John Cowell, referring in 1607 to a writ summoning a person on pain of outlawry, clearly recognized "exigent" as a derivative of Latin "exigere," which means "to demand." Over the last five centuries we have demanded a lot from "exigent." It has served as a legal term (as in Cowell's quote), as well as a noun meaning either "an emergency" or "an end or extremity." Nowadays the adjective is seen frequently in legal contexts referring to "exigent circumstances," such as those used to justify a search by police without a warrant.
