Saturday 6 - Episode 268
1. You’re planning a trip that would be an eight-hour car ride, a four-hour train ride, or a two-hour plane ride. With money and time being no object, which would you most likely choose and why?
Car ride. Mainly because I am a hobby photographer and I would want to be able to pull over and take photos. Also I haven't seen much of this country so it would be a sight seeing drive also!

Plane. The trip coming from Australia to the USA was awful. Not the actual traveling but things that happened afterwards that I don't want to talk about.
3. Of the following modes of transportation, which one are you most likely to be able to sleep in as a passenger? When did you last doze in that vehicle?
Well seeming there are no "following modes" I will say out of all I have travelled in, a train is the easiest to sleep in.
4. Of that same list, which one would you least likely to be able to sleep in as a passenger? What’s the biggest stumbling block to your being able to sleep that way?
Again, no list! But I will say trying to sleep in a car or anything with an upright seat is hard for me, comfort wise.
5. Take the quiz: What Type of Transportation Are You?
6. In you response to the quiz, which single line best describes you?
"You're so weird that you're practically out of this world."
Photohunt - Books
I have recently become a Twilight Saga fan and have read these twice in the past 2 weeks!

Saturday Social #52
Today's Saturday Social Question:
What anniversaries do you celebrate?
We celebrate our wedding anniversary with an actual dinner or some kind of special outing. Other anniversaries such as when we met, when we got engaged etc we acknowledge.
Saturday Six
Are you worried about Swine Flu (H1N1 influenza)?
Only a little, the common flu kills tens of thousands of people a year.
Do you think it is as bad as the press make out?
Not really, but I think they are trying to warm people. But I think its causing unnecessary panic.
Coughs, colds and flu like symptoms are usually around this time of year, do you think people will panic more now if they get the “common” cold?
Yes, I know people that have panicked because they thought they had the swine flu.
Do you think Swine Flu is a natural decease or man made?
I am sure its just another strain of the flu that is natural.
How long do you think it will be before a “cure” is found for the “common” cold?
They probably already have one!
Has your reaction changed to someone who is sneezing, coughing or sniffing next to you since the news of Swine Flu?
I havn't been around anyone like that since the outbreak.

This is one of my favourite photographs I have taken. We were taking our new puppy for a walk and I was testing out my new 50mm lens and was just snapping away at everything. I got this shot of my son walking in front of me while he was talking to the dog.
