A rather biblical looking sunset - taken last week - reflecting in Jamaica Bay off the long runway at JFK.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

Her reputation was her livelihood.

I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice!

My inner voice sometimes has an accent!

My wont? A delicious rip in time...

Looking out from my balcony to the mountains to the east in the evening sunset after a day of rain last year. Yes, I love my 'million-dollar view'.

Sayyyyy...Doesn't Scaramanga have a solar panel attached to a solex agitator laser thingy hidden in there? And Tattoo...isn't he around there as well? :ph34r:

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

I was looking for the name of the McGuffin in that movie, which I found at Wikipedia. I was just closing everything up here, getting ready to go home when I decided to see what Wiki had to say about my least favorite movie from the series (Moonraker is a very, very close second for worst place. Pigeons doing double takes - bah. For a pretty funny review of Moonraker, check out the agony booth. Start on page 4.)

Anyhow, Wiki talks quite a bit about that island and the one next to it where the movie was filmed, so I thought I'd share:

"The scenes featuring the island hideout of Scaramanga were filmed in Phang Nga Province in Thailand, northeast of Phuket now named James Bond island. One of the islands seen in the film is known as the "Nail" island (or Ko Khao Tapoo)—in the film, this island houses the solar panels. Scaramanga's hideout is actually Ko Kow-Phing-Khan—both islands are now tourists attractions. The "nail" island seen in the film is known by locals as James Bond Island in all tourist literature. The site was extremely hard hit by a tsunami following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake."

As he was about to face the gallows there, the pirate is said to have tossed a sheaf of papers into the crowd, taunting his audience with these final words:

"My treasure to he who can understand."

In keeping with the theme of "horse drawn stuff on the street"
