Caught On The Web

Take a quick break from your routine with these fun, often funny, and almost always short-and-sweet items found by me on the internet. You'll see lots of CATS, lots of VIDEOS, lots of FUNNY ITEMS, and have lots of FUN. Richard Sneed, owner of Norwalk Records in Norwalk, California, commented about one cat video, "I got charlie horses in my ribs laughing at this. Thank You Carole." BTW, have you visited my new BERKELEY AND BEYOND website at www.berkeleyandbeyond.com?

a fire-fighting DC-10 Air Tanker jet makes several amazing passes

Turn up the volume and watch and listen as this DC-10 Air Tanker jet makes several amazing passes. A converted airliner, it has been fighting fires since 2006 and is shown here making Phoschek fire retardant drops on the Powerhouse brush fire in California on June 2, 2013. It can carry up to 12,000 gallons of water or fire retardant in a belly-mounted tank. Two air tankers are currently available to fight fires--this one, known as Tanker 911, and another one known as Tanker 910.
