It's just usage. We could all google passage names, maybe eventually they would come up. When that "Ultimate Dog Tease" video went viral, easily one of the funniest youtube videos of all time, you could google simply the word "dog" and it would be in the top two or three on the list. Now, though, if you google "dog" you won't find it. You have to use "dog tease."

So, I am googling to see if I can find out what dairy it was that the truck wreck I found next to Pointe Tapatio belonged to, when I happened across this image. My favorite is the fourth paragraph ...

There's a reason why when we were growing up here that they were always referred to as Slopers.
It was either the water or that altitude thing..... :D

I love the AJ Bayless market, which btw, morphed into AJs.
Bayless or Bashas were the hometown grocers.

sounds like a place where "even squares can have a ball," I bet they didn't burn their draft cards down on main street, and I am sure in those days lightening was still the greatest thrill of all...anyone anyone??

Fry's was separate, cuz Mr.Fry was a customer of ours and Smittys was separate also. They morphed at some point when I was residing in my lead lined cave.

This always gives me a chuckle. Reminds me of the commercial airplanes that were on satellite view near Peak 2429 in the Phoenix Mtn Preserve a while back.

A number of years ago when I was just getting into the beauty of Google Earth, I discovered a downed airplane on Perry Mesa.
The cool thing was it was in perfect condition and didn't appear to be damaged from the "crash"... :sl:

Yeah I finally figured out the rainbow effect was a clue. Well that and I started noticing lots of intact plane crashes... :D

You can tell they did that on purpose. "How do we get the cubs out of the dumpster without Mama eating us?" :) Question is, how did they get *in* it? :-k

From a site not to be named...I figured Alston would enjoy this one....
A 400-600 pound black bear wandered into a New Jersey back yard and was confronted by a 15 pound tabby cat. The bear fled up a neighbour's tree. Hissing at the base of the tree, Jack the Cat kept the bear at bay for about 15 minutes, then ran him up another tree after an attempted escape. Jack's owner said, "He doesn't want anyone in his yard."
