A day in February, no Mayday, yet. |

 "We're on our way to Florida." |
 Not Miami! |
 Early Sunday morning it's quiet on the beach of Noordwijk, as far as we can see. Trifle cold perhaps. |

 Bugatti Veyron owners, and indeed car owners as a group, have been looking very smug since the amazing supercar posted its awesome 250mph top speed and 1000 horsepower acceleration that not even the fastest motorcycles could match. But it seems Acabion has taken the crown back for the bike brigade, with its release of a road-ready streamliner that's capable of beating they Veyron's top speed using only 20% throttle . The Acabion GTBO is said to top out at around 340mph (close to 550kmh) if you're game enough to hold on to 50% throttle, and with engines varying from 350 to 750 horsepower, it's a very serious piece of kit... Even if it does have training wheels. More. |
 Far away in the West, Alaska, Drew Point. Coastal erosion of mud-rich permafrost along Beaufort Sea coastline. Cliff height is ~3-4 m. Waves undercut permafrost and cause block slumping (center of photo). Photograph depicts no sand beach present to protect permafrost. Wanna know more? |
 All's well when the sun sets in a nice way. |
 This day we got the idea how it would be when it would be Spring again. |

 Riding down the Prinsengracht, high above this mysterious canard plane, with a highpitched shrieking hum. |

 Good morning America! The only thing visible outside today was the Interstate. So I snapped the Snap-on Tool truck to bring a constructive swing to my plans for my day in Providence . (Lewis) |

 A Buick Regal, as far as we guessed, like from '73. Couple years later GM would bolt on a Turbo to create the famous Regal Gran Sport that had, even in that era, breathtaking acceleration. We will not go discuss roadholding, which was totally beside the point, said our Lewis. (Guy) |
 Pontiac Firebird and a nice one. From the early seventies. (Guy) |
