SIGHTS FOR SORE EYES

People travel the world over to see many sights, but there is much to see right here in the United States -- interesting, beautiful, historic sights that will take your breath away.  These photos came from a couple of calendars that were sent to me.

The Alamo, San Antonio, Texas






The Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn to Manhattan, New York





Autumn in Wisconsin



Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts






Columbia River Highway, Oregon




The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California

Bit of fun --

One office worker was a stickler for good spelling, so when an associate emailed technical documents asking him to “decifer” them, the stickler had to set him straight.  “Decipher” is spelled with a ph, not an ”f”.  In case you’ve forgotten, your computer comes with a spell checker.”  A minute later came the reply:  “Must be dephective.”

  1. Palisades? I want to know what street that is, that's my hometown! I miss having trees that interlock branches overhead as you go down the street.
