It's from the Watchmen movie and comics.
The phrase "Who Watches the Watchmen?" is seen throughout.
If you have not seen the movie, I cannot recommend it strongly enough... It's absolutely fantastic!
Who Guards the Guards?
IIRC.
You really do get some varied temperatures in Minnesota BarrettWhat is this “spring” you speak of?
Actually, it’s supposed to start warming up here this coming week, might even get into the 50’s a couple days, so I think the dozen or so cars and trucks out on the lake last night were just trying to get some ice fishing in while they still can.
We had a short warm spell a couple weeks ago, which prompted most folks to pull their ice houses off the lake, but I saw a video a couple days ago (which I can’t find now) where a guy cut a big cube of ice out of the lake with a very large chainsaw, and there was still about 20” of solid, clear ice.
I hope things start warming up for you soon buddy 
I'm half-expecting them to reject the photo I sent them yesterdayWhat a pain!
What a racket! 
It was thanks Barrett, made a nice changeSounds like a pretty good day, Jack!
I am still thinking of that coffee! 
Thanks palHope they work out well for you, Jack. I noticed the other day that sole was separating on one of my boots. I’ve had them long enough that I’m guessing the midsole is probably deteriorating. I hardly wear them in summer, so I’m hoping they’ll hold together until it warms up, then I’ll probably have to break out my backup pair in the fall.
Nice apple-colored bone on that Lambsfoot!
Oh no! 
About three years ago, we went for a walk via another local town. It was summer, and the day before, I came across a pair of old Asics running shoes I hadn't worn for ages. I remembered they were pretty comfortable, and there looked to be plenty of wear left in them, so, as we were only walking on gentle paths, I thought I'd wear them, instead of my boots. We stopped off for breakfast at a cafe, and I looked down, and most of the sole was hanging off one of the shoes. The glue had gone, and I could see the other sole would be coming off in sympathy soon! We could only find a small sports shop, and I ended up having to pay about £70 ($90) for a pair of Salomon trail running shoes! To cap it off, the largest size they had were a little snug for me, and I haven't worn them since It was an expensive mistake! 
LOL!It’s not a fair fight.View attachment 1765415
Cool pic Todd 
Have you ever been inside David? Great to see your Hartshead Barlow out and about
Thanks Harvey
It was a bit of a result!
The engineer was here about an hour ago, and it was a very brief visit. He said he'd have to order an expansion vessel, and will be back Monday or Tuesday, so I'll just have to manage until then. I've got the boiler running at the moment, but I suspect I'll have the same issue when it's been running a while, and have to turn it off again That's a very cool pic HarveyGood Morning Guardians
LOL!Jack, I'll sometimes see the impressions of tree leaves in the sidewalks on which I travel, and I can't help but think there must have been some days that gravity was incredibly strong there to bring leaves to earth with such force!
I know what you mean Gary!I know I've seen some really bad movies, but I think, as a survival tactic, my mind must repress any memories of them.
My mind seems to repress a lot of memories! 
I hate when Jack says that!
Thank you very much GaryDazzling Double Lambsfoot Duo, Jack!
Sorry the passport renewal has turned out to be so frustrating, Jack.
I think Harrogate is about the fanciest place in Yorkshire Gary!Fancy lamb for your weekend plans, Jack!
Yesterday made a nice change though That's an interesting pic my friend
A great film John, for sureIt's from the Watchmen movie and comics.

I remember, back in '87 or '88, a friend gave me the book to read. I hadn't read many comics since I was a kid, but I said I'd give it a go. When I got home, around midnight I think, sat down, put some Bill Evans on, and started to read. I was still reading at 8.00am the next day You look like you're a prisoner of that snow Jer!"Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodiatores?"
And "Here comes the sun" again.
Who guards the Guardians?

btw, have you seen the new HBO mini-series? Great add to the storyline...A great film John, for sure
Thank you. It is sweet.That J. Rodgers is a real cupcake, Harvey, and 3xChocolate at that!!
Thank you GTNoteworthy knife and nachos, Harvey!
That image measures up nicely.Definitely looks like that apple was overmatched, Todd!
But yesterday I grabbed an apple from my big bag of Fujis, and it must have been the Big Daddy Fuji of the bag!! I'll bet it might give your stag Big'un some stiffer competition. I put some on my cereal for breakfast both yesterday and today, so when I saw your photo, this is all I had left. But you can see that it was almost 4" in diameter.
Many thanks.Great color in that photo Harvey.
Thank you Jack.That's a very cool pic Harvey
I have not. I don't get HBO.
We nearly have our own mini-series on another thread.
I came over here for some civility and reason. and who do i find, your good self the " Voice of Reason ".
With age comes... I don't care any more.
Had that very discussion with someone last week.With age comes... I don't care any more.
Beautiful GT. I can only hope to age that well.
Ragnarok was also fun. You choose two of my favorites. Watchmen was epicWatchmen is easily my favorite "superhero" movie. The only other one that even comes close is Guardians of the Galaxy.
I guess I have a natural affinity for Guardians!
Have you seen The Boys Ken?
Hugely impressive
LOL!Lol, I undermined it when I had it...thinking...it's a book with lots of pictures...should be a quick/easy read...
My friend had warned me that it was a bit like a detective novel, with clues in every frame, so I really studied it! Looking good thereRecycled for today...
Hope he'll be happy there PeteMy brother and I helped move Dad into a new home today. This one did its job perfectly

RALF is definitely a superhero I'm afraid I had another disturbed night, due to my boiler issues Looks like a nice day here, but I have a few tedious chores to take care of before I can go out. Hope your week gets off to a good start
