Walt Disney World employees won't be packing any heat in the company parking lots anytime soon.

The giant resort has declared that much of its sprawling property is exempt from a new state law that allows Floridians with concealed-weapons permits to keep firearms locked in their cars at work.

Disney, which has 60,000 employees and a long-standing policy against allowing guns on its land, cites an arcane -- and late-added -- loophole in the new law, which took effect Tuesday.

Rambo 4: Ashman Movie Review

Rambo don't take no mess. **** 4 stars (Out of 5) Yes this is a positive review. When I saw the trailer, the interviews, and the fans reactions I would never have dreamed this film would be above 1 star. After several recommendations and discussions I was challenged to re-think this action monster. I am glad I did.

This series is from my usual perch in Griffith Park, Los Angeles. In the foreground is Century City, All the way on the horizon is the Pacific Ocean. After sunset, city lights brighten the hills and city. Venice Beach, Pacific Ocean You may ask, why do I take SO MANY pictures of sunsets? That is a fair question. My answer is for several reasons. Firstly, just for the beauty of it. I'm amazed how much beauty is around us every day if we just choose to look for it. Growing up in the Twin Cities of MN, my mother would take me on sunset walks down by the Mississippi River to watch the sun set over the river and cit

Atop a 14,000 foot summit in the Weminuche Wilderness, San Jose National Forest, Colorado, USA.  These photos are of the road trip, camping a nd backpacking trip my uncle , my cousin and I went on, are untouched, and sometimes out of order (Thanks random Blogger upload!) Hope you enjoy. - A Our journey began in Arizona. Tuscon to be exact. This is hours into our drive, close to 4 corners. This is an abandoned hotel I would have loved to see: Asasazi Inn. First view of the Colorado Rockies. Blew me away, and just a hint of things to come. The pickup-dropoff point in Silverton, Colorado. Yes, that's an actual coal burning train that takes us into the trailhead. My environmentalist uncle was not thrilled to hear the word "Coal" outside of a campfire. First group selfie of the trip. (While we were still clean and didn't smell.) My uncle Gus, his son and my cousin Aidan. The three family related amigos.
