Post-Apocalyptic Thanksgiving

Little known fact, this salty crane was not the inspiration for the sitcom character Frasier Crane.





I found the ground in Salton Sea to be mushy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Like a middle aged hippie who slowly but surely ruins trailer parks.




I'm not sure that your engineering proposal is the most sound solution for the situation but I'll take it under advisement. Also, you should go ahead and run a spell check before your next publication.



Little known fact, this Rusty Trailer Roof was not the inspiration for the B-52s lyric "Tin Roof, Rusted"






Widely known fact, this is what Indian Jones' fridge should have looked like after it was nuked.




The short term destiny of every fish in the Salton Sea.




Isn't it beautiful how close to the surface a dead pelican floats?
