Boeing's 'Starliner' space thingy is like so many other Boeing craft, it's sitting on the ground unable to fly. Dang! I was really pulling for Boeing. At least the 'Starliner' didn't get a launch and end up a flaming ball of detritus headed straight back to Earth. Dang! The Boeing launch has been postponed "indefinitely." Right. So on to 'other' news, the boat jackers that ganked an asphalt carrying vessel in the Persian Gulf ditched the boat off shore U.A.E. and booked the scene. Seems the boat jackers had the British Royal Navy on their asses and decided it might be better to clear off and get away while they had a half chance. It isn't like the boat jackers were going to engage in a "high speed" boat chase. The Panamanian flagged vessel was carrying asphalt. Asphalt? Well there must be an international black market for boat jacked asphalt that I wasn't aware of. Asphalt? I mean, what the hell... The hijacked vessel was "officially" carrying bitumen. Whatever. The boat was even named the MV Asphalt Princess. That's a dang catchy name for an asphalt boat. 'Asphalt Princess'...has a sticky ring to it. Sounds like the name of an obscure hip-hop group. The Asphalt Princess will be appearing tonight at the Desert Sands outdoor venue for silly ass and obscure hip-hop bands. Gosh...did that come across as insensitive? My bad. On to today's installment of machine art and recreational graphics.

so there you go on this Day of the Camel. 🐪
