The Boats of Venice · Ed Reif EK Visual Essay · Venice, Italy The Boats of Venice No cars. No trucks. No ordinary streets. Venice functions because everything moves by water—people, police, ambulances, garbage, cash, supplies, emergencies, and everyday life. See Image Enter the Canals Show Text Working City Emergency Boats City Services Deliveries Companion Stories You do not simply visit Venice. You undergo it. The city is a painting that works for a living. No Cars Canal Traffic Water Ambulance Police Boat Garbage Barge Cash Courier Chapter 01 A City Built on Water Venice is not a museum with canals. It is a working, living city in which the road system has simply become liquid. Venice Walking Through a Painting Architecture, water, stone, reflection, and movement merge into one continuous visual system. “It is like I am walking through a painting.” Canal Logic Getting Lost Is the Route In ...

Today September 21, 2019  The Have And The Have Yachts On A RIB (Rigged Inflatable Boat ) doing 41 knots in a 5 knot wake zone  with Queen Victoria docked at The Mayflower Pier Roll  Video: The Time Machine June 2015   The last time I was on RIB, Rigid Inflatable Boat (Ballistic Brand)...Roll Video: I managed to hitch a ride on Charles and Annie's Ballistic Inflatable (Zodiac) and the 500HP  was no match for Mothers Nature and The Land Rover BAR crew. Last July, while we were on The QM2, an Oceanliner, we reached 22 nautical mph, nearly getting blown off the deck, and these guys can throttle it to 50, in the tiny  spaces of a 20 meter trampoline.  Even though it was a sea trial,t he boat's foils are out of the water and things get very fast very quickly.  There's very little of the boat in the water. It's about aerodynamics, it's about control systems, hydraulic systems. It's not Brain Surgery, it' Rocket Science---remin...

"English? Why do I have to learn that, I'm never going to live in England" Glad I didn't follow that advice.  MIA to LGW Miami Beach Norwegian  Air-Commercial flight. Wow what a difference from Mil Air FT BLISS  El Paso Texas Pease,New Hampshire  New Hampshire  Frankfurt Germany Kuwait  C 17 from Bagram Afghanistan  When the weather's good, there's no better place to be than the British countryside. We go walking  around in the forests, rivers and shoreline, creating our own fairy tale and our carefully nurtured sentiment for the simple life. Being in the countryside is like being in a dream, where you don't quite know who's who but can tell what's what. The cure for anything is salt-sweat, tears or the sea There is an anonymity to it all when you connect with nature...“The Dude Abides Principal” says that there is this energetic force that has your best interest at he...

Cerberus' job is to let you into hell but prevent you from ever leaving, perhaps like the valet at the Hotel California. He is Hades Hound dog. It is stamped on this gulf war relic that stands guard at the temporary housing I've been at all week. Being in the desert sun causes me to think: What is the ONE thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary? The quest is in this question. After more sun on the brain, I have come to realize that the only normal people are ones I havent met yet. Sharing an open barracks with 100 men is a "challange" to say the least. Again, my IN to my SANE has been reading. Random quotes that served me this week: Trust only movement.  Life happens at the level of events, not of words.  Trust movement. Alfred Adler Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls-- family, health, friends, integrity-- are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be ir...

Fighter jets have the sizzle. Bombers bring the steak.  But cargo aircraft like the C-17 Globemaster can always take pride in doing a good day's work. What a ride it had been this year in Afghanistan. At war since 430 BC,  I survived by following Startrek's Prime Directive (google it)!
