I've been to the Grand Canyon. What a sight!
I once saw a Liberal who had a job. NO, sorry, I made that up. |

Bush leaving office and Obama taking office, ooppps thats a liberal with a real job

Driving through Estes Park Colorado and the Rockies on our way to the Grand Canyon. Sometimes you'd get to a meadow and look across to see elk and moose grazing or running. The air there seemed so clear and the colors looked brilliant.

Watching my two boys taking the oath of the military and knowing their love of this country and willing to defend it.

I have 2 sights that have stuck with me over the years.
#1: Getting off the plane at Bagram AB (2002) in the middle of the night. It was pitch black on the ground, but that fact afforded me a rare treat (at least for me)--I had never seen so many stars in my life! It really took my mind off of the fact I was scared as hell. #2: My work center maintained some equipment that was located on a mountain in South Korea. One morning we drove up the mountain through extremely heavy fog. Once at the top, we found ourselves above the fog. All that was visible in every direction below us was a blanket of fog. It was definitely one of the coolest things I have ever personally witnessed. |

Wow, this is a great topic. Nice deviation from the norm.
Well I have seen so many wonderful things to date. I guess if I had to put them in some sort of order it would be: 1. Birth of my children 2. Pompeii 3. Mt. Vesuvius 4. Rome 5. Vatican City 6. Stonehenge 7. Big Ben 8. Natural Bridge in Virginia 9. Grand Canyon 10. Ice Bergs 11. Killer Whales in the wild 12. 18 waterspouts all in one general location I'm sure there's more that I am just forgetting, but all of these things were so magnificent and beautiful to see. |

I was once shooting video of an airshow, and they had a Cessna with no side on it so I could shoot out. The plane banked on to it's side and the stunt plane was between us and the ground. Just an awesome sight looking down at the ground with no side on the plane.

Driving a 3900 ton submarine on an emergency blow and having it come completely out of the water is cool too. Doing an unrep (underway replenishment) at sea on a FFG while standing on the bridge wing with seas breaking over the top of the ship. That was scary cool. I did however almost lose my whole division overboard because the captain wouldn't cancel the unrep. Listening to the polar ice caps melting. It sounds like dragons screaming. Times Square is awesome at night. London is eerily beautiful in its fog mired splendor. The Washington D.C. mall at night is beautiful too with the Monument and Abe and the White House lit up. |

Furthest west i've been is chicago...so lets go east.
I liked ocean city...but it was a storm that made it an experience on Assateague island. Who knew you'd have to watch out for wild horses in the road? As mentioned before London is cool, and yes the nightlife is great there too. I also liked rome and paris in general too. It's cool how from london to paris to rome it just feels like you're going further back in time. Edit: Completely forgot how amazing it is to see a sunrise when flying over the middle of the ocean and the curvature of the earth   |

Well it was horrid not cool.
I witnesed the Blue Angels crash in Lakehurst NJ. Weird thing is, that is the same place the air ship 'Hindinburgh' went down.  I guess the coolest thing I've seen is Berlin Germany, before and after the wall was taken down. Totally cool after.  -------------- Dawg Gone |

Childbirth
Snorkling in Grand Cayman Carlsbad Caverns Hoover Dam Yosemite/Redwoods Yellowstone Grand Canyon Dolphins cruising alongside our cruise ship. Flying in single prop 4 seater over Mt St Helens. Standing on the side of a mountain in Wenachee Washington and asking the grower, "How many apple trees are in this orchard"? His response was, "At last count, roughly 49,000". Being in a "banana plantation" in the middle of a jungle in Costa Rica. Staying at a remote lodge and fishing any one of numerous small lakes (100-300 acres) in Ontario Canada (The Land of Lakes) 200-400 miles north of Cleveland and slaughtering large and small mouth bass and every so often pulling in a Northern Pike. One of the best times I've ever had there was, at approx 3:00am and not a cloud in the sky with the fullest moon I'd ever seen illuminating the lake, fishing on a bass boat when it was so quiet you could hear the proverbial "Pin Drop". That's when a pack of wolves probably 50-75yds away from the shoreline start howling. I then realized I wasn't on top of the food chain. It literally sent chills up my/our spines. The view from our condo which is on stilts in the sand, 5 miles south of Myrtle Beach, just north of Murrells Inlet. MNFs Don Meredith on Fair Hooker: "I never met one". "Badges"? "Badges"? "We don't have to show you any stinking badges". |

First time I saw the ocean. Sounds like not much, but when you stand there for the first time and think about it's vastness and what animals live in the water you're about to enter it really is quite an amazing planet we live on.

Second in mah book to January 6, 1990.. watchin' the CROWD at the ol' Muni Stadium rat after Clay Matthews innercepted hisseff Jim Kelly's pass at the two to purserve the Browns Playoff victory 34-30. |

The 86-87 playoff game Browns 23-Jets 20 2OT's.
What a thriller. If I remember right Pete Franklin had givin' up and was on his way out of the stadium and could'nt get back in to watch the winning field goal. _______________________ When the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Thank GAWD fer that genderly questionable ref what got his panties in a wad whenever Mark Gastineau tickled Kosar near the end of regulation... "Roughin' the passer" is what he saw (an' I is jest as glad)... howsumever... it kinder looked like a friendly "Howdy-do?" pat to me... |
|||
|
|
|
I've got it on video, but there's a blank space for a few seconds after Slaughter catches that deep pass from Kosar. I was holding the remote and bumped the button when I jumped up. |

Summer of '79, west bound in western Kansas nearing sunset, the eastern sky dark with thunder clouds. As the sun set below the western cloud line it threw a perfectly brilliant double rainbow against that blackened eastern sky that seemed a mile high. My old collage roommate and I stopped the car and watched it for 10-15 minutes.

jswartz you just reminded me of when my family stopped in the middle of Kansas one night because the sky had WWAAAYYY more stars than we had ever seen in our night-sky back here in Ohio. It was plain to see why it's called the Milky Way.
|

Yea Weiner I recall on that same trip we stayed in the Rockie National Parks and at night the stars were so full and bright that it did seem as though you could reach out and touch them. Good times.
These are always my favorite threads on the boards. |

The Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountains, Manhatten skyline as you fly into LaGuardia Airport.
|

The first view I actually had of the Grand canyon was amazing! Eventually it wore off, but at first it was just "WOW!" ------------------------------ We are NOT better without K2! We need a new OC, and maybe head coach too... |

Paul McCartney playing "Let It Be" on a hot July night in Cleveland Municipal Stadium, with 80,000 other fans holding their lighters as a soft rain began to fall.
The Sierra Nevada mountains as you drive up California 395 to Lake Tahoe. The Liverpool skyline from a ferry on the Mersey. Clay Matthews' lateral to Big Daddy Hairston and the two of them laughing as they ran. ---- |

In Maui on top of the volcano Halleakula (spelling?)during a thunderstorm. The drive to Hana in Maui over looking the pacific ocean was quite amazing. Hitting a 3point shot to win the championship game that had went into double overtime.
