. - DATELINE: MACOMB, MICHIGAN
On Memorial Day weekend, Jean McCarty, along with Steve, Kristen, Megan, Jenna, Kelly, Margaret, Brad & Austin, did some spring work to the landscape at Mom's house. The grass was cut, new mulch decorated the front, top soil and flowers were planted on the side and back, and everyone helped pulling those pesky weeds and grass growing where it isn't supposed to grow. The day was completed with a nice bar-b-que. Thank you for your help guys...
ED NOTE: The next phase on the landscaping will take place the weekend of the DMGC since there will be a few more hands available. We will need to trim shrubs and hedges, cut branches, edge the lawn, along with the preparation for the golf outing. Any questions... give me a call or email me. Thanks- Kelly

DATELINE DELAND, FLORIDA
This is not for the faint of heart... Dogs savage an alligator ... Sometimes nature is cruel, but there is also a beauty in that cruelty. The alligator, even though one of the ultimate predators, can fall victim to the kind of implemented 'team work' strategy which is possible due to the pack mentality and social structure of canines. Click here to see the remarkable photograph courtesy of Nature Magazine. But not if you're squeamish.

DATELINE US NAVY:
These are actual photos of aircraft breaking the sound barrier. This phenomena only happens at the instant an aircraft breaks the sound barrier and it literally appears like the aircraft goes through a wall. I hope you find these pictures as fascinating as I do. A naval veteran of 12 years, Ensign John Gay, 38, manages a crew of eight assigned to take intelligence photographs from the high-tech belly of an F-14 Tomcat, the fastest fighter in the U.S. Navy. In July, Gay had been part of a Joint Task Force Exercise as the Constellation made its way to Japan . Gay selected his Nikon 90 S, one of the five 35 mm cameras he owns. He set his 80-300 mm zoom lens on 300 mm, set his shutter speed at 1/1000 of a second with an aperture setting of F5.6. "I put it on full manual, focus and exposure," Gay said. "I tell young photographers who are into automatic everything, you aren't going to get that shot on auto. The plane is too fast. The camera can't keep up." At sea level a plane must exceed 741 mph to break the sound barrier, or the speed at which sound travels. The change in pressure as the plane outruns all of the pressure and sound waves in front of it is heard on the ground as an explosion or sonic boom. The pressure change condenses the water in the air as the jet passes these waves. Altitude, wind speed, humidity, the shape and trajectory of the plane - all of these affect the breaking of this barrier. The slightest ! drag or atmospheric pull on the plane shatters the vapor oval like fireworks as the plane passes through, he said everything on July 7 was perfect. "You see! this vapor flicker around the plane that gets bigger and bigger. You get this loud boom, and it's instantaneous. The vapor cloud is there, and then it's not there. It's the coolest thing you have ever seen."
McCARTY METRO INTERNATIONAL DIVISION DATELINE: LONDON, ENGLAND
Two Arabs boarded a flight out of London. One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, a US Marine sat down in the aisle seat. After takeoff, the Marine kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I need to get up and get a Coke." "Don't get up," said the Marine, "I'm in the aisle seat, I'll get it for you." As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the Marines shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned with the coke, the other Arab said, "That looks good, I'd really like one, too." Again, the Marine obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up the Marines other shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight. As the plane was landing, the Marine slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. "Why does it have to be this way?" he asked. "How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and peeing in Cokes?"
THE MARINES ALWAYS WIN
DATELINE MEXICO
A big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale has hit Mexico. Two million Mexicans have died and over a million are injured. The country is totally ruined and the government doesn't know where to start with providing help to rebuild. The rest of the world is in shock. Canada is sending troops to help the Mexican army. Saudi Arabia is sending oil. Other Latin American countries are sending supplies. The European community (except France) is sending food and money. The United States, not to be outdone, is sending two million replacement Mexicans. God Bless America.....
AND FINALLY... There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally and by hand. This virus is called Worm Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest bar. Purchase the antidote known as Work Isolator Neutralizer Extractor (WINE) or Bothersome Employer Eliminator Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.
