I'm crushed

You just destroyed my vision of you sunbathing "au naturel" when out with Mother Nature.

Ya shoulda been showing those bush pilots your bush.

I have another story ... 60 kms back in the middle of nowhere, I was suntanning naked beside one of my favourite creeks. You can hear people coming for miles as they gear up and down on the steep winding roads, so I was sure I could be dressed long before someone arrived. Most people pass on by without stopping when they see another vehicle because they realize you're probably out there to be alone, not to meet people.

I heard a vehicle approaching and was expecting it to keep going, then suddenly realized he was pulling in! Scrambled to get dressed but only had time to get my bikini bottoms on before he came around the corner. He was blushing and seemed way more embarassed than I was (I was working as a FS SP back then, lol) so I put my top on and we had a nice chat. He was also a forestry serice fire warden and was checking up on the dust cloud he'd seen in the air earlier when I'd driven back into the bush, and was making sure I wasn't violating the current campfire ban.

:biggrin2:

No bush on me though - I trim closely. :wink2:

Hey - speaking of forest fires - half of BC is on fire right now and we'd like to thank Ontario for sending fire fighters to help out. /-Thumbs-up::/

Just found out one of the fires is pretty close to me. If I have to evacuate, can I sleep on someone's couch? raying:

US military tests swarm of mini-drones launched from jets

"Perdix are not pre-programmed synchronised individuals, they are a collective organism, sharing one distributed brain for decision-making and adapting to each other like swarms in nature," said William Roper, director of the Strategic Capabilities Office."

Thanks for the link, quite interesting.

I have to say that this sure is an odd way to reignite your relationship.
People sure do love using drones, as ever since they came out people have been using them for just about everything. From bringing , to catching your , drones are the wave of the future. Then again, you might use them illegally, which is why this Utah couple is now in trouble.

A 34-year-old mother of six named Terisha Lee Norviel, and her 39-year-old boyfriend named Aaron Dennis Foote have each been charged with misdemeanor voyeurism after it was discovered they had been using a high-tech drone to peep into the homes of their neighbors


The couple was busted after a witness spotted a drone flying outside his window, and he took the drone after following it and realizing it had landed in a church parking lot. The witness quickly turned over the drone to police.
And of course Utah police examined the drone and discovered, according to a search warrant, “multiple videos recording individuals inside their residences through windows. Some of the recordings were multiple stories high in apartment complexes.” Well that’s just creepy as all hell.




Police caught up to the couple after not only footage of Foote flying the drone was captured by himself, but also his truck, which of course included his license plate number. Nice move, dude.
Utah police decided to have a little fun with the couple before eventually arresting them. Take a look at what they shared on their Facebook.
