3D ART

Eight 3D murals painted on the sides of buildings by Trompe Lóeil (trick-of-the-eye) artist John Pugh






Main Street, Los Gatos , California. Even the woman peering into the ruin is part of the mural.


Taylor Hall, California State University , Chico , California . The Doric-style columns are actually nothing but paint.



Honolulu, Hawaii. This mural took two months of studio work to plan and another six months to execute with the help of 11 other artists. Featured are Queen Liliuokalani, the last monarch of the Hawaiian Islands , and Duke Kahanamoku, the ultimate father of surfing.



This mural at the Cafe Trompe Lóeil, San Jose , California , is entitled Art Imitating Life Imitating Art Imitating Life” –customer never leaves!



Twenty-nine Palms, California. Valentine the bull and a patient buzzard are waiting for the artist to awake.


Bay in a Bottle, Santa Cruz, California. The passer-by is part of the mural.


Looks like a nice spot to rest your weary feet on a sidewalk in front of the Sarasota County Health Center, Florida.



Slowin’ Down to Take a Look in Winslow, Arizona. Included, of course, is "a girl, my lord, in a flat bed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me."











Artist John Pugh

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME...


2011 will be the last year that Ford will produce the Crown Victoria. The "Police Interceptor" version (P71) is the most widely used police vehicle in North America. Its replacement, as far as police use goes, will be the Ford Taurus, a totally inadequate substitute. So Carbon Motor Corporation was created, and has developed, a vehicle designed, by police officers, strictly for police use. The "E7" is scheduled to go into production in 2012.

I don't know about you but I am impressed.

SPECIAL FOR ALISSA & ANGELA

Just wanted you to know that I received, and am wearing, my "WILL Power" bracelet.

Anyone wanting to know more about this, just go to:

http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/willpage

and learn about Will Page, a beautiful 4 year old boy fighting leukemia.









"Let's all be careful out there!"

That's how the fight started

Here are 10 short, funny things that can start a fight with your spouse.

Take care.

1) My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.

She asked, "What's on TV?"

I said, "Dust."

And then the fight started...



2) My wife and I were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" while we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"
"No," she answered.
I then said, "Is that your final answer?"
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And then the fight started...


3) Saturday morning I got up early to go fishing, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and tip-toed into the garage. I hooked up the boat to the truck and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
My loving wife of 10 years replied, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"

And that's how the fight started...


4) I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get so stressed, and little things just seem funny?

Yeah, well I couldn't believe it... He was a DWARF!!!
He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, "I AM NOT HAPPY!!!"
So I looked down at him and said, "Well, then which one are you?"

And then the fight started...


5) My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, 'I want something shiny & sleek, that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.'

I bought her a scale.

And then the fight started...


6) When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her some place expensive.

So, I took her to a gas station.

And then the fight started...


7) After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, "Unbutton your shirt." So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me." And she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, "You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too."

And then the fight started...


8) My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.

My wife asked, "Do you know her?"

"Yes," I sighed, "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she started drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."

"My God!" says my wife, "who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

And then the fight started...


9) I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
"I'll have the strip steak, rare, please."

He said, "Aren't you worried about 'mad cow'?"

"Nah, she can order for herself."

And then the fight started...


10) A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, "I feel horrible. I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment."

The husband replies, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."

And then the fight started...


Have a great say, everybody!
