photo, st. augustine -

St. Augustine is the oldest city in the US. It was founded in 1565. It is full of old architecture. It makes you appreciate the colonial buildings. A lot of them look perfect even after 400 years. Modern builders need to take lessons from the past. Most buildings made after the years 1900s have fallen already. A good portion were destroyed by man's hands, but the rest have pretty much fallen on their own.  There has been a disassociation between architects and physicist. Now people who design most buildings focus too much on the look and not whether they are...

While traveling to St. Augustine we passed real close to the Everglades. The Everglades is the largest wilderness in Florida. It is not the safest place to hang out.

Recently, the cops were looking for a dead girl whose car was suspected to be there. In addition to finding the girl, they also dug up like 100 different other cars....

They are one of the oldest merchant families in Florida. They were first established in St. Augustine during the Spanish colonial period, around the 1600s. This is just about all I know of the house. It has its historical information in a sign outside. I wonder if it is still there. I like those old colonial houses. I lived in one a long time ago. It was yellow, with white doors. That was a little...

It is interesting the kinds of things that most cameras can manage. Most people leave the camera on auto and call it quits. It is important for people to get acquainted with the little M for manual features of the camera. Most artificial intelligences are pretty foolish, seeing as thought they were programmed by very foolish people indeed. Remember that Uber robot that ran over a pedestrian? Now the silly computer is like "I did not see the old woman coming". This goes to show that the US streets were not meant for pedestrians, when even a robot with 1000...
