The building in the background is the reactor building. Although the primary purpose is not power generation, obviously some power is generated. Here you also see the electrical connections to the Power Grid.
There certainly are a lot of aircraft "wreckage" around China Lake, it's a Navy R&D bombing range. This, however *does not* look like an actual aircraft air-frame. More likely a mock-up of some kind.
Their presence is due to the homeless encampment which is what they are looking at. As far as it goes, Corvallis police are pretty fair when dealing with Corvallis's homeless.
People talk trash about Homestead, but the 3 or 4 years I lived there in the mid 80's, met a lot of nice people, and found one of the best record shops I've ever been to. I mean, people talk trash about where ever. I enjoyed Biloxi, and not many people say nice things.
In South Florida, they might not be birds. The Palmetto Bug is an enormous flying *roach* that thrives down there - I had the "joy" of living there for a few years during military service.
Pure speculation: The government are not the only people with antennas. Could very well be some telecommunications company looking to site a cell tower.
Why is it that talentless guys like Sandler and Murphy make boatloads of cash and then spend it on places like this that are so incredibly TACKY that not even Liberace's Ghost would set foot in them?
It's, I suppose, appropriate for Eddie Murphy to have such an over-the-top ostentatious and completely TACKY house, because the "star" himself is over-rated and completely TACKY, having done absolutely NOTHING worth watching after SNL. Also, I hear he's a bitter old man.
Indeed. Some of the western and mid-western United States have hundreds of square miles of vast open space with very few people. A lot of ranching and farming. So-called "survivalists" and just regular people that want to live away from big cities and civilization seek these places out. For several years, I lived in a small town of a few hundred in the foothills of the Cascade mountains, but for some people, even that is too many.
I wasn't going to put this in the description, but as a teenager, I would run tapes and stacks of cards to this place so they could be printed out, sometimes on a huge pin plotter. I was probably 14 or 13. I had my dad's Faculty Card, and my signature was identical to his.
The story behind the "B" movie "Krakatoa, East of Java" revolves a bit around the eruption of this volcano. But Interestingly, Krakatoa is *west* of Java.
I'm sorry, "Anonymouse", but that's simply not true that he never "name called, yelled, or was rude", in fact that was his entire schtick. But I'm not going to argue with a MAGA Zombie like you here, this is not the forum for that sort of thing.
Djibouti is pronounced "jah-boot-ee". At least that's how we said it going in and out. There is some good food, but not a lot of oppertunity to leave the base.
Nonsense. Still quite functional, and clearly the tires are angled for quick cornering. This is a performance automobile, not for the "faint of heart".
The late Mrs. Uptha was well known in the area for her fresh fruit pies. Only to close friends, she was also known for possum stew, which she often told uninitiated guests was "mutton" stew.
I dispute this is a "bombing range", please note that there are no impact craters. As a former (retired now) Air Force mission planner at nearby McChord AFB (now JBLM), I am intimately familiar with the local airspace. What I can tell you is that unlike a bombing range, there are no over-flight restrictions at this location.

Jim Morrison is referring to the Laurel Canyon Country Store in The Doors song, "Love Street", Jim and his girlfriend Pamela Courson lived directly behind it in those days.
In fact, a few years ago, this street was officially changed to LOVE STREET.
Days after testifying before the state legislature committee, LS&MS chief engineer Charles Collins was found dead in his bedroom of a gunshot wound to the head.[151] Having tendered his resignation to the railroad's board of directors the previous Monday and been refused,[152] Collins was believed to have committed suicide out of grief and feeling partially responsible for the tragic accident. However, two official autopsies, both conducted in 1878, concluded that Collins had been murdered...
This is the gate that leads to the airport support buildings. The airport is actively used by civilian jumbos, and various military jets to do "touch and goes", which is an approach and landing exercise where the jet's main gear touch the runway, and then the jet takes off again. Sometimes the nose gear hit the runway, but not always. I've seen many large jets do a "racetrack" pattern and touch and goes all day long. Pilots like to practice approach and landing, until (as...
It is quite surprising to many people how common gators are in south Florida. When I worked for the fire department at Homestead Air Force Base, we would have to persuade them to get off the runway with high pressure water - being cold blooded, they liked to warm up on the hot concrete of the runway.
What's funny is that in the Street View, it's blurred out. So, if anyone was looking at Google Street View to find the place, they would know FOR SURE, that's the place!
