Why do siting photos always look so bad?

Turkey One, A Journey of Enlightenment

 
Dude, let's do a 360!

Dude, do a 360!

So, I recently was able to fly home and see the family for Turkey Day.  This is a good thing!  And it turned out to be quite an educational experience.  For example, where most airports have little trams/trains on tracks, Dulles has Psycho 4×4 Living Rooms.  Basically you walk through a door into a room, and this dude DRIVES the entire room across the airplane parking lot to your terminal.

The only bummer is, they have a high center of gravity, and it may be a problem attempting to do a 360 or catch any air with these, but…c’mon…a living room with wheels? How cool is that?

 
It gets even better.  I get to my gate and I am sitting there watching multiple camera crews talk about getting shots, there’s a gal directing folks to place Mickey Mouse balloons by the gate (they even ran to get a BLUE one, to make sure the colors were balanced).  Then, it was lights, camera, action!

Basically, the flight was “Turkey One.” On this flight, the turkeys that are pardoned by the President get flown to Disneyland. Disneyland!? Wow, and apparently the passengers can get their pictures taken with the turkeys, hang out, throw back 40s, and, well some things on Turkey One are probably best not shared. (What happens on Turkey One, stays on Turkey One, ok?)

Wrecking Corporate America?

Oh…Wrecking Corporation OF America.  My bad.  Took this because, buildings are always disappearing around here, and if it involves heavy equipment, the kids are going to like it.

Building go buh-bye

Parking. . .

4 signs...one space... nice

There have to be sicker examples out there, but I was quite amused when a buddy and I, on our way back from lunch, walked by this parking space.
