Hi Caskur!

Is it morning for you now?

[caskur™]

yes, it's 10:43 am and I'm playing Michael Jackson full bore and watching my new favourite song, over and over like a junkie..


"They Don't Care About Us" is the fourth single from Michael Jackson's album HIStory. The song remains one of the most controversial pieces Jackson ever composed. In the US, media scrutiny surrounding alleged antisemitic lyrics were the catalyst for Jackson issuing multiple apologies and re-recording the album–altering the lyrics for that particular track. The singer countered allegations of antisemitism, arguing that reviews had misinterpreted the context of the song, either unintentionally or deliberately. Musically, it is an aggressive hip-hop production about social ills.

the other thing that caught my eye on another site was this story...

THE WIDER VIEW: Taking shape, the new bridge at the Hoover Dam By Mail On Sunday Reporter Last updated at 10:12 PM on 04th July 2009

 Add to My Stories Creeping closer inch by inch – 900ft above the mighty Colorado River – the two sides of a ￠G160million bridge at the Hoover Dam in America slowly take shape.

The bridge will carry a new section of US Route 93 past the bottleneck of the old road which can be seen twisting and winding around and across the dam itself.

When complete, it will provide a new link between the states of Nevada and Arizona. In an incredible feat of engineering, the road will be supported on the two massive concrete arches which jut out of the rock face.

The arches are made up of 53 individual sections – each 24ft long – which have been cast on-site and are being lifted into place using an improvised high-wire crane strung between temporary steel pylons.





It is INCREDIBLE and mind blowing…

Did you ever see the history of the yanks building the Hoover Dam? Many men were overworked and little attention was paid to their safety….I think one worker died a week building it….no unions there I am afraid…criminal actually…

I've never been there.

I do have pictures of my parents at the dam - when they lived in Nevada they made a couple of sightseeing trips there.

[caskur™]

I am pretty sure, but don't quote me for I am not 100% sure, that the Hoover Dam is one of the 7 wonders of the world....or maybe it is the engineering world....I have a DVD on all the great man made structures...and the history of them....like the building the Panama Canal

[«ŠÞëärƒïsh»]

Is Mt. Rushmore on the list?  It's not far from here.

[caskur™]

I'm not sure.....I'll find the DVD later and list the places...

[caskur™]

OK, I found it....this DVD is awsome....well, I think it is awsome...

YOU.  Spearfish, you're amazing.

Neat-0 pics Cask.  Do you think Michael Jackson

[Damion Hellstrom]

Are you serious, Icy? Raise from the dead?

Man, you reach new heights of stupidity.

You believe cask has "cursing" powers so don't act like she might
not think she has the powers to raise someone from the dead.

Hey, you're the one up her nutter ass.
