Good bye CRC coffee cafe

Hurl himself pulled my last two shots for an americano on Tuesday.  He is closing the doors today.  The great coffee, nonpretentious attitude of the shop, all the cycling publication he had available and the pleasant times I have had there will all be missed.  Pics are from people on the internets.  Thanks. 

Some pic's I found on Reddit

The moon was close and big a few days ago.  Not that we could see it. 

 I have seen this pic a few times over the years on the internets.  Hope no one was hurt. 

Makes Rambo look kind of wimpy

1961 Antarctica Leonid Rogozov takes out his own appendix.  Here is the link to the story in The Atlantic. 

First Surf Pic?

This has been called the first photo of a surfer.  I have no idea. 

Troubles around the world

The pic is of Japan and from the Big Picture.

Here is a link to a site with a Google Earth style map of the world and what appears to be a live reporting of many of the troubles going on in the world.  From Earthqwakes to airline incidents to volcanoes to biohazard events.  It is pretty interesting to see all the things going on at the same time.  It will eithor give you perspective about the world being a dynamic and at times dangerous place or you may decide that 2012 really is the end and will start sending money to televangalists.
