 Jose1737 viewsThis is Jose, one of our, shall we say extended crew members. Jose is taking a little R & R from cleaning bugs off the windshield of the Albatross, a job usually reserved for the Radioman and may I say, much easier while aircraft is parked.

The Osa Peninsula of Costa Rico is a perfect place for Jose to relax.

 Attack Flaminken!1708 viewsOldalbatross being attacked by what appears to be a cross between a flamingo and a chicken. Well, there is a flamingo in Victoria Butterfly Garden and there are farms nearby that I am sure have yard birds.

I kind of think IT, whatever IT is, liked my shoe laces. My guess is that IT doesn't eat butterfly's.

 Slim1674 viewsIf slim had been on the freeway instead of a bike way he would be known as a sail snake.

(sail snake: a snake that has been repeatedly run over until flat and dried. Then you can pick it up and sail it like boomerang.)

Not to worry, Slim is living large in Virginia and having a fresh tourist everyday.
