Looks like they are transferring the forklift from a covered lorry to an open one. No forks…not a problem, they lift off for transport, easy enough to do, but they are heavy (personal experience).
My take on all of this… No sign of the brakes coming on the controlled wheels (the large ones), no skidding, so either a guy who didn’t hit the correct pedal or the engine not running (propane bottle fuel source, no propane in the tank for obvious safety reasons, enclosed space).
Remedial training ALL AROUND, because the on-lookers didn’t know any better either…
Looks like they were delivering it, and using the flatbed to get it out of the box truck. My guess is that it was loaded into the box truck from a loading bay, and where they’re delivering it doesn’t have one, so they decided to improvise.
Would have worked too, if they actually knew what they were doing….
Some boats actually do that, though… like if they’re fishing at anchor, or sending divers below, and need the boat to stay in one position, not swinging about.
Or a small boat fighting a strong wind or tide.
But probably not that far from shore, with what looks like nobody aboard. How and why would they even leave it out there?
When I lived on a tiny houseboat, I was tied at the bow to the dock, with no anchor. Some bigger boats, though, anchored the stern so they wouldn’t swing into each other in a storm.
And the few who lived “anchored out” often dropped two, so they wouldn’t swing into another boat (not that they were usually close) or into the part of the shipping channel in heavier use.
I used to buy canned Thanksgiving dinner dog food for my dog at PetSmart … I think it was their own label. Turkey, sweet potato and a little cranberry.
She gobbled it more eagerly than I’d ever seen her eat dog food, so when It was on clearance after the holiday, I bought a couple of cases.
One day, with half a case left, she just decided never to eat it again.

Must be a tasty rock face to go to all that trouble.
I would think this was a photography trick, since my brain says it’s obviously impossible….
The goats must be lying on their sides, and the image must have been rotated …
Except … there’s that one tree.. …. and there goes that theory.
No trick, these Ibex goats can climb rock faces that seem impossible.
Yeah… they’re almost impossible climbers.
And like I said… that upright tree kills any illusion of the image being rotated.
I saw a report recently that shows golden eagles knocking ibex off cliffs.
No!!
Why? Aren’t they too big to be eagle prey?
Oh… I guess the calves are small enough.
Predators aren’t too coy to feed on carcasses.

Hovering practice.

Amazing discipline of a Chinese ballet school.

They must have gone to a finishing school…

We’ve seen something like that in Upper Franconia, 2010 – from a rooftop.
So that’s how they make ribbon candy!

Yes, I recognize the men too….
But neither the lady nor the movie.

Remedial training for him!
Okay, there’s no forks on that lift truck. What the heck were they doing?

I hope the guy wasn’t under that thing when it stopped.
Hope so too. But by the looks of things he either jumped clear or was thrown clear (or a combination thereof) :: hard landing in either case.

can you find the doggie?
Dumb question.
The bunnies are kinda cute.
Yeah…. they want you to think that… and not notice that they’re 50 times as big as rabbits, with lots more teeth.
I can’t even find the window…

Clue #1: Google can’t identify the place….
Clue #2: Mismatched windows on mismatched levels.
I shouldn’t have needed two clues.
Boat on the left is anchored stern and prow too.

They just released Portland Monopoly.

That is bachelor cuisine at its zenith.
Still better than turkey dinner flavored soda pop…
Eewww… Does that exist?
