..and then a hero comes along.

NBC reports;

“A man pulled the actor from the vehicle after seeing him slumped over the steering wheel. Some calls to 911 reported that Van Dyke seemed to be passed out.”

colorado

A visual tribute to the spectacular (lately somewhat singed) woodlands of Colorado by Matt Johnson, who sez:

Colorado is currently experiencing some of the largest wildfires in the state’s history. In July, I visited the Bruce Spruce Ranch a little ways outside of Pagosa Springs and watched as the Windy Pass, West Fork, and Papoose wildfires burned thousands of acres of forest. I have never seen such a powerful event up close like this before, it was truly humbling.

A tangy, springy cheese with a pleasing after-smell.

Woahtherehorsey.

Spotted this in Spain. We know from many ‘Where would you get it?’ posts that Cabra [particularly the western region] has some stunning scenery. Now, finally, Cabra has taken its place among the great cheese-producing regions of the world.

 

 

bush

Loyalists held a protest in Bushmills on Saturday rather than attend the opening of an art project on which they had been working for 18 months – because it was being unveiled by a member of Sinn Fein.
But in spite of the protest the Peace Three art project of a cow was opened in the Millennium Park by Moyle District Council chairman, Sinn Fein councillor Cara McShane and DUP vice chair of Moyle council Robert McIlroy.
Last night chairman of Bushmills Residents and Environmental Forum, Derwyn Brewster, said they had asked councillor McShane “that if she was coming along, not to be speaking in Irish and not to take the limelight and to be low-key”.
