Some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.

This is the smallest of seven or eight guys. All had the high and tight haircut, military dive watches – most Luminox, CamelBak urban and other packs, and strange international ID cards.  They all paid in very large bills, like hundreds, and only a couple spoke English well enough to understand the cashier.  A very strange lunch indeed.

First saw this on Kyle Ford’s blog Aesthetic Consciousness and love it. What’s difficult to imagine is the size of that blast. An atomic test somewhere, I looked it up once. The bottom right half of the blast shows a ship of some sorts. Amazing. The fam and I met Kyle completely by chance on a trip to Charleston, SC some months back. We’re the midwest people he talks about in this post.
