Photo Hunters: Fast

Oh no! Were we driving too fast?!
No. The officer said our van’s muffler was “too noisy.” :-p Disturbing the peace.
Ummmmm… but officer, we’re in the Adirondacks, near a state park? Who’s complaining, the squirrels??
I think the police force just wasn’t making enough money that month, and sent patrols out to fill some quotas. :-p
This next photo shows something fast. This is Richie Evans’ race car. He was from Rome, NY, and we visited the Rome Sports Hall of Fame there. He was a local champ at the Utica-Rome Speedway, and climbed the ladder to win the NASCAR National Modified Championships nine times. Sadly, he died in a crash in 1985, racing at the Martinsville Speedway.
And this baby is FAST. It’s my “hot rod,” as I call it. OK Ok so it’s not a sooped-up, super gaming machine. But it IS the fastest computer in the house! It’s a quad-core, with 6GB RAM and a NVIDIA graphics card. It’s enough to handle all my photo and video editing that I do. I really like it a lot.
This is Livvy. That’s fast?? Yes, fast asleep. 
Cookbook: “Bring water to a fast boil.”
That’s my fast for the day! Now I’m going to go take a nap! How did your Photo Hunt go today? Leave a link in the comments!

Wow, that’s a nice pc! It is a hot rod to me! I wish mine was that fast. I have to keep mine open on the side with a fan blowing inside so it doesn’t reboot or freeze, lol. Your cat looks so peaceful and cute! I want to hug it
Happy Saturday!

Nice photos. Thanks for dropping by, so sorry that I didn’t manage to stop by last week, too busy.

Teeheeheee — what a range of photos you have — all of which fit, in one way or other, this week’s Photo Hunt theme very well indeed.

wonderful collection!

How do you bring water to a boil any faster than it will let you? Does anyone actually try to do it slowly?
Sparkle on Sat, 19th Dec 2009 12:20 pm
You have lots of fast! Including a kitty who’s fast asleep! Surprised I didn’t come up with that one.
Bull Rhino on Sat, 19th Dec 2009 12:36 pm
I think you got every angle on the fast. Hope you didn’t take a fast nap but that you did go fast asleep.
Drop by and see mine here.

Love your photos.

Great combinations of takes on Fast. I hope you didn’t get a ticket for being ‘noisy’.

A great selection! Have a happy weekend and a very happy Christmas

Neat shares. I’ve been a ‘victim’ of quota points myself-the officer said I did a ‘California cruise’ through a stop sign-bull. They’ve stopped my poor mom a few times too for going too fast-probably she was going 5 mph over the speed limit. Watch going out between 4-5 pm when they are looking for us-lol
Your computer looks awesome too!

Great sequence of shots for the theme. I had to laugh at the first one. Wild to get stopped based on noise factors.
Mirage on Sat, 19th Dec 2009 3:28 pm
lol on noise! Love the cat…like my little boy always fast asleep!

Great takes on “fast”; and so many different interpretations!
Happy Holidays!

The policeman just wanted to say hi and happy holidays. It’s always nerve wracking when you get pulled over especially when there is you did nothing wrong.
Happy holidays.

Some great photos and ideas for the theme
Mrs. Mecomber on Sun, 20th Dec 2009 4:32 pm
My Livvy is a Tabby Point Siamese, half Siam, half tabby. And yes, I agree– she’s a beauty! She’s got a lovely temperament, too.
Mrs. Mecomber on Sun, 20th Dec 2009 4:32 pm
Just for the record, we DID get a ticket for a noisy muffler. :-p :-p !!!! Talk about lousy! It was a holiday weekend, too. Sheesh!
kaye on Sun, 20th Dec 2009 6:37 pm
your first picture was the best one I’ve seen for the theme, made me laugh!
Jama on Sun, 20th Dec 2009 7:07 pm
I wish my PC is as fast as yours!
