Ha! I'd like to see what happens to the Moovie when it hits a DC pothole. I love it when designers forget about such things as practicality and functionality. It should be a requirement for designers to have to live with/use their own monstrosities before they inflict them upon the public...

Given the enormous diameter of the wheels it would likely go over any pothole less than a meter across without even much of a bump.
Unfortunately it doesn't look enough like a "regular" car for the majority of brain dead SUV driving Yanks to get their heads around it.

the picture of the korean military woman on skates remindet me, that the frech police in paris does have a skate-squad.
a picture can be found here: http://cucinatestarossa.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/police_rollerblades.jpg
the members of this skate-squad are former ice-hockey players. so its not the most intelligent act to piss those guys off. =)
but i must admit that i never have seen them by myself. i have been only once to paris for 24 hours, tho. ~=)

I once, about 4000 yrs ago when in eighth grade made a thumb piano. I inserted straightened hairpins into the separated layers of my plywood desk top. Only thing I ever got away with in school. Drove Sr. Mary to distraction.

Great blog, I'm enjoying it a lot!
For unusual instruments, you should check the website of Argentina's
Les Luthiers. It's all in Spanish, but you will get to see each instrument and even listen to them.
These guys are absolutely amazing, they can compose and play anthing from classical to merengue to rap to military marches, etc.
Sometimes, just sometimes, they use 'normal' musical instruments... :-)

That first pic looks like some sort of elaborate torture machine.
That sea organ blew my mind. I'd love to go there and listen to it in person.
I have a friend that knows how to play harp,
Cate Von Smith-Bauder, and I'm always begging her to play me some songs whenever we meet. I find that instrument very soothing and it helps me relax.

Wow, those futuristic pianos are really cool. And the sea organ. I've been to Croatia before and next time I'm there I've got to see this in person.

Lichens and moss are indeed beautiful. It would take me about 18 years to hike the Appalachian Trail, because I'd stop every few feet and gawk at these tiny beauties, not to mention ferns, mushrooms, rock tripes, etc etc. Big nature is breathtaking, but small nature is just a wonderful.

The "Man with a Horn" cover was particularly audacious, considering the placement of the trumpet and the fact that "having a horn" used to be UK slang for having an erection...that's why the English changed the title of the American film "Young Man with a Horn" to "A Young Man of Music"

I, TonyGuitar, owned an album in the 70s that I am looking for the name of, band name? and the song name for music that is train related.
[Southern fried rock]
Very strident guitar sound.
The song begins in slow time and gradually builds up speed to a quick train tempo and ends with a high guitar tain sound and steam release.
The Album Cover is mostly green lily pond with a frog in the foreground.
Do you know this Artist, Album or song?

Very nice selection of cool and unusual covers! I've used a few of them in my fine art photos to provide background context for my equally strange and unusual narrative images.

About the "mystery tool"
Take a shovel with a "D" handle, cut off the blade, lean the stick against the wall.
Place an ax on the floor with the butt of the blade against the stick.
Shift the ax-handle to get the proper "look"
There you have it, folks

The "Mystery" tool is a Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT) removing tool used to scrape the glued down tiles from a floor, usually concrete. The axe handle, that could be to hit the handle of the scraper to get it under tiles.... I usually use a dead blow hammer.

In Milwaukee there is this big bridge over the harbor that went nowhere for years and years (at least 15 years of my life). They finally added an extension (which was really well done). Not long after, a section of the bridge collapsed during morning rush hour.
This year marks the completion of the final end to the highway. They are now rebuilding the exchange at the other end now.

Just last week, here in Belgium, I read in the newspaper about a family that assumed they would be allowed to move a lamppost near their uncompleted house. They weren't allowed... Now there is one tile of the roof missing, and the lamppost is sticking out. They even build the drain around the lamppost.

That tool is extremely versatile, we welded an axe head on about a 30 degree angle to a shovel handle and voila "the foot" is born, peels asphalt shingle down easily, can even pull up the plywood and shingle if you cut it in sections. The uses are endless, I like the idea of using it for tearing up tiles.
