I have used Ambien for travel to Asia for many years. Have never had a negative incident. I usually wait until they serve the meal, have a glass or two of wine (never more than 1-2). Normally sleep 5-6 hours, wake up for a couple of hours until they feed us again and repeat the process. I prefer an aisle seat. I explain to those beside me that they just need to gently shake my shoulder when they need to get out and I wake up. I can usually remain awake for 10-15 mins and then go back to sleep when they return. I find that taking one pill in the evening for a few days when going to bed helps me sleep and reset my body clock much faster. My physician told me that Ambien was originally designed for travelers.

Yes and Poland, Latvia, and a few others whom Russia is intimidating. For that matter I doubt you could find a European government who is happy with Putin, much less respect him. It takes a certain kind of person to respect Putin. Much less blame it on the US and/or US bankers.

Hum, let me see if I have this straight. The US bankers are the reason Putin invaded Crimea? And the reason he has his troops in the Ukraine? Out of curiosity do you respect Putin/Russia for the takeover of the Crimea?

I remember a few years ago as the US prepared to pull out of Iraq the Obama propaganda machine began the spread things along the lines of the war is over, Al Qaeda is defeated - there is nothing to be concerned about, "They are just a bunch of "Cavemen". And as Al Qaeda began to reconstitute and morph into ISIS Obama and company called them the JV's, nothing to be concerned about. As we witness ISIS spread around the globe at the speed of the Internet we may wish to consider if the "head in the sand" foreign policy practiced by Obama is the best approach.

Putin has the potential to become a very serious problem for the world. Hitler did not believe that the English and French would stand up to him. And they did not until it was too late. Putin does not think the US and Western Europe will stand up to him. As the Russian economy continues to collapse serious violence may become one of the few options Putin has. We can only hope someone in their military kills him soon. I doubt that will happen.

No, he is still tremendously popular. He is stirring the "Nationalism" pot. Creating anger against outside foes. Just like Hitler did with the Germans....

National Orgasm Day A man turns to his wife in bed and whispers "Did you know it's National Orgasm Day?" "Oh, what a pity," she smiled, "Right in the middle of National Headache Week !!"

Fishing - Irish It was raining hard and a big puddle had formed in front of the little Irish pub. An old man stood beside the puddle holding a stick with a string on the end and jiggled it up and down in the water. A curious gentleman asked what he was doing. “Fishing”, replied the old man. Poor old fool, thought the gentlemen. So, he decided he would invite the old man to have a drink in the pub. Feeling he should start some conversation while they were sipping their whisky, the gentleman asked, “And, how many have you caught today?” “You're the eighth.”

Excellent!!!

A teacher asked her third grade class to name things that ended with “tor” and that also ate things. The first little boy said, "Alligator." "Very good James, that's a big word." The second boy said, "Predator." “Yes, that's another big word Alan. Very well done." Little Johnny says, "Vibrator." After nearly falling off her chair, the teacher says, "That is a big word Johnny, but it doesn't eat anything." “Well" said Johnny "my mother has one and she says it eats fucking batteries like there's no tomorrow!"

Estate Planning A man was telling his buddy: "You won't believe what happened last night." My daughter walked into the living room and said: "Dad, do not pay off my college tuition loan, cancel my allowance, throw away all my clothes and take my iPhone and laptop. In addition, please take all of my jewelry to Salvation Army. Then, sell my car, take my front door key away from me and lock me out of your house. Then, disown me and never talk to me again. And don't forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to anyone you choose." "Holy Smokes", replied the friend, "She actually said that?" The father replied: "Well, she didn't actually put it quite like that." What she said was,: "Dad, meet my new boyfriend, Mohammed. We're going to work together on Hillary's 2016 election campaign."

Great pics! i do not remember noticing that much of a tide swing on the Thames. That BMW looks positively wicked!

Little Sally came home from school with a smile on her face, and told her mother, "Frankie Brown showed me his willy today in the playground!" Before her mother could raise a concern, Sally said, "It reminded me of a peanut." Relaxing with a hidden smile, Sally's Mum asked, "Really small, was it?" Sally replied, "No... Salty."

Father O'Malley rose from his bed one morning. It was a fine spring day in his new Washington D.C. parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was . . . a donkey lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the White House. The conversation went like this: "Good morning. This is Barrack Obama. How might I help you?" "And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St. Ann's Catholic Church. There's a donkey lying dead in me front lawn and would ye be so kind as to send a couple o'yer lads to take care of the matter?" Barrack, considering himself to be quite a wit and recognizing the Irish accent, thought he would have a little fun with the good father, replied, "Well now Father, it was always my impression that you people took care of the last rites!" There was dead silence on the line for a moment . . . . Father O'Malley then replied: "Aye,' tis certainly true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin first, which is the reason for me call."

Guy goes into a bar in Louisiana where there's a robot bartender! The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Whiskey." The robot brings back his drink and says to the man, "What's your IQ?" The guy says,"168." The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology. The guy leaves, . . But he is curious . . . So he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says, "What will you have?" The guy says,"Whiskey." Again, the robot brings the man his drink and says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "100." The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser, the Saints and LSU Tigers. The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try this one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Whiskey," and the robot brings him his whiskey. T he robot then says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "Uh, about 50." The robot leans in real close and says, "So,.......You people still happy . . . with Obama?"

After a relaxing bath, Monica Lewinsky was looking at herself naked in a mirror...remembering her time with Bill Clinton. Her frustration over her inability to lose weight was depressing her. In an act of desperation, she decided to call on God for help... "God, if you take away my love handles, I'll devote my life to you," she prayed. And just like that, her ears fell off! Touching story, isn't it?

We have been in a cold snap here in S Calif too.. Today's high (along the beach) is expected to only reach 65. Of course a few miles inland temps will be around 75. When it is this miserably cold I can only wear my 'long' shorts. Too cold for the newer, more stylish 'short' shorts......

Nice shots. You show many things I have never seen. Thank you.
