i like trying to run over tumbleweeds on the highway driving 80mph on a windy day. :-) - Benton

I can just see the points scrolling up your windshield as you hit each one. +50, +100, Woohoo - high score today! - Ladybug Heather

LOL I like running into them sometimes, too. It can be a very satisfying experience! I don't know if I was consciously tallying points in my head, but each tumbleweed I hit puts a smile on my face. - Jenny R.

Does anyone know how to order the pictures so they display in a proper order? The're all mixed up here. - Michael Fidler

I think the order has to do with which picture uploads first! Thoughts? - Michael Fidler

Maverick, you just did an incredibly brave thing. What you should have done was land your plane! You don't own that plane, the tax payers do! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash.

Back to the photos: I LOVE them. I always wanted to fly fighter jets. Stupid prescription eyewear. :-| - Lisa L. Seifert

I'm glad you enjoy the pictures,and john has the movie lines down, but can anyone answer my question about the picture order on ff? - Michael Fidler

not an F-16, that's a F-22. great shots though! - Benton

I think Benton's right. - ♣genieyclo♣

They never come up in the right order for me either, Michael. I've learned to roll with the punches. I'd like to barrel roll, though. - Lisa L. Seifert

they're from the First Fighter wing based out of Langley AFB where i happen to do some consulting... ;) - Benton

Awesome! Those are F-22 Raptors, btw. The Blue Angels jet is an F-18 Hornet (they're based about a mile from me). - Chris Baskind

@Benton the Blue Angels shot is an F-18, the others are the F-22. i used different one's to check the order they came out. I loaded the F-18 first, but it came out third. Do you know why? - Michael Fidler

Your right sorry I meant F-18, the F-16 is the Navy's version of the F-15 - Michael Fidler

Still doesn't answer the question about the picture order, Can anyone help out on this, please! - Michael Fidler

Anyone? The order of the Pics? - Michael Fidler

Blue Angels! Whoo-hooo! - Anna Lynn M.

we've established it's not upload order, so it must be original filename, s3 filename, or filesize... testing - Benton

@Benton Thank You, I knew someone had to know! I think it's filesize. They all start uploading at the same time. Whatever one finish's first, becomes #1. S3 and the way they are sent has an impact also. If ff slows down the upload, do you think there would be a more predictable order? - Michael Fidler

It'd be nice if we could just drag/drop to reorder them. - Donato (ricin)

@Benton I thought about the name before starting with the pictures of the smoke from the SoCal fire set(see under my name if you want to look). Same file size and named in a way that the pictures without the smoke clouds all started with the letter A, and the other two with a T, yet they are not in order either! - Michael Fidler

@Donato, that's a great Idea? - Michael Fidler

Nice, Donato! GREAT idea!! - Lisa L. Seifert

Awesome! - Charlie Anzman

Watched the last Blue Angels show of the year yesterday. Kinda sad, but reason to look forward to spring. - Chris Baskind

National Geographic-U.S. to Kill Wild Horses as Upkeep Costs Rise?

November 16 at 12:13 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

Tommy Williams, D/\\/IIID, Michael Fidler and 10 other people liked this

"Thousands of wild mustangs kept in U.S. government holding pens may have to be killed as costs escalate for their upkeep, according to a new federal report released this week. The report, issued by the Government Accountability Office—the watchdog agency for the U.S. Congress—examined long-term options for successfully managing unadoptable horses. About 30,000 animals removed from western rangelands are currently being cared for by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM)'s Wild Horse and Burro Program. This year, with adoptions dwindling and hay prices rising, holding costs are expected to exceed U.S. $27 million, or about 74 percent of the program's budget." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet

How are they called 'wild' if they are kept in pens and cared for by the government? - Mark VandenBerg

What kind of world do we live in when 33000 horses have to be slaughtered to save money?? Heartbreaking....there are so many alternatives, so many other options....no part of me understands this. - Ebm

Interesting that BLM defined the creatures as "living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West." - Ebm

save the horses... 8-( - "Czar" DJ Peterman

@Mark...I wondered the same thing. Article says they are kept on reservations, however, there is speculation they may set the "wild" horses "free" to avoid this fate. Mind blowing, huh? - Ebm

I really can't wrap my mind around any of this. - Donna Mugavero

unfortunately the BLM has been rounding up and auctioning off mustangs for decades.... and often times the leftover stock is put down, though i've never heard of numbers this large. - Benton

Makes me think of the end of the film The Misfits. And makes me terribly sad. - Abby Martin

and where is PETA in all this ?? I guess there aren't enough stars involved so screw the horses even though they are some of the most majestic animals around. - Steven Hodson
