TUGBOAT  Do not try this at home

Remember, this is a professional captain.SCROLL DOWN TO SEE PHOTO SEQUENCE The below photos were taken on April 19th, 1979 of the tug M/V CAHABA which was bringing barges filled with coal down on the Tombigbee River in Western Alabama. It was common practice to release the barges close to shore where the current was less. They would drift with the current under a fixed draw of the bridge. The tug would then back full and pass under the open portion of the bridge, catch up with the barges, and proceed down river.

The towboat is approaching the bridge with barges loaded with coal. This frame gives you an idea of how fast the river is running. Oh CRAP!!! Can't back down enough against the current. Uh Oh! The cook thinks maybe something isn't quite right. The boss is going to be REAL mad! Uh... Uh.... She's low, but the flag is still flying. The wheelhouse door and the door in the second deck are now open. The working deck is still underwater, but rising. The God of Cake. My mom baked the most fantastic cake for my grandfather's 73rd birthday party.

The God of Cake

The cake was slathered in impossibly thick frosting and topped with an assortment of delightful creatures which my mom crafted out of mini-marshmallows and toothpicks. To a four-year-old child, it was a thing of wonder - half toy, half cake and all glorious possibility. But my mom knew that it was extremely important to keep the cake away from me because she knew that if I was allowed even a tiny amount of sugar, not only would I become intensely hyperactive, but the entire scope of my existence would funnel down to the singular goal of obtaining and ingesting more sugar.

My need for sugar would become so massive, that it would collapse in upon itself and create a vacuum into which even more sugar would be drawn until all the world had been stripped of sweetness. I had tasted cake and there was no going back. My mom had prepared the cake early in the day to get the task out of the way. I had to stay focused. _livqq7q0d11qitcsyo1_500.png (500×619) Grown Adult Actually Expects To Be Happy.

Grown Adult Actually Expects To Be Happy

Peterson, who is not a small child, believes he can and should lead a happy life. Despite possessing a fully developed brain and a general awareness of the fundamental nature of existence, sources said Peterson apparently continues to believe that achieving long-lasting happiness is somehow possible. "It's almost like he thinks reaching a place of enduring contentment with yourself and your life is some sort of obtainable outcome," friend Brian McDougal said of Peterson, who reportedly lives on Earth, has experienced life, and is not mentally disabled or abusing narcotics of any kind.

"He even gets upset sometimes when things don't go his way, as if misery and disappointment weren't a foregone conclusion. Fuck Yeah Art Student Owl. The Scariest Story. There was a short period of my early life that was punctuated by truly unfortunate nightmares.

The Scariest Story

I'd go to sleep feeling safe and warm. Then I'd awaken several hours later and somehow be completely convinced that my closet was inhabited by fire monsters. I'd flee to my parents' room because, like most six-year-olds, I believed that my parents possessed some magical ability to ward off homicidal, fire-breathing monsters that were easily eight times their size. I don't know exactly how I thought they would be able to protect me from the monster, but as far as I was concerned, my parents were forcefields of safety and that fire monster could go fuck itself.
