I received these photos and story in an email and wanted to continue to pass it on to everyone I could think of, so here is someones travel story.
You probably won't ever see this in your travels! These animals were photographed just north of the Wisconsin border on a highway near Marenisco, MI.
Once in awhile there is an opportunity to take in a piece of nature that you may never see. In these days of unrest and turmoil it is great to see that GOD still produces some wondrous beauty.
The odds of seeing an albino moose are astronomical and to see this in the upper peninsula of Michigan , near Wisconsin , is even greater than astronomical. To see two of them together is nearly impossible.
We wanted to share these photos with as many people as possible because you will probably never have a chance to see this rare sight again.
This is a really special treat, so enjoy the shots of a lifetime.
Here is a write up on Snopes which tells their version of the story behind the photos. Either way you look at this story they are still beautiful animal photos no matter where they were taken .

Qantas Airlines Repair Division

Qantas Airlines: Repair Division
In case you need a laugh: Remember, it takes a college (this is Oz, okay?) degree to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix one. After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a 'Gripe Sheet' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the Gripe Sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny........... (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed. And the best one for last..................
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

20 Things to Remember
Posted by
Sandra
TWENTY THINGS TO REMEMBER
1. Faith is the ability to not panic.
2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you prayed, don't worry.
3. As a child of God, prayer is kinda like calling home every day.
4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
8. Dear God: I have a problem. It's me.
9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.
10. Laugh every day -- it's like inner jogging.
11. The most important things in your home are the people.
12. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. Come on in.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
16 . We do not remember days, but moments. Life moves too fast, so enjoy your precious moments.
17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it; otherwise it's just hearsay.
18. Its all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.
19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk-taking! Learn from the turtle, it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.
20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
No matter what storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting. Leave gentle fingerprints on the soul of another for the angels to read.
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well. Live life to the fullest... and thank God for every moment of your day !!

I THINK I WILL GO BAREFOOT
Posted by
Sandra
Are you looking for a new pair of shoes ? ?
I'd like to see her standing up and walking in those.
I know it would be entertaining.
Every Scottish girl needs a pair of these
whatever . . .
Great bridal shoe! Hope the groom is eight foot tall
-Now I know I've got to get a pair of these. I'd feel like Mrs. Maxwell Smart.
There aren't enough words for this. Who the h@** wants to stand on a nail?
Did they borrow this idea from Transformers or Hannibal Lecter?
Now, I must confess. These might surprise us. They look springy.
You could pogo your way to where you're going.
Learning how to stop might take some experience once you get hopping.
I hope this is a joke. I've never fancied myself looking like one of those half-horse kind of people
If the designer was going for the "big foot" look, they missed.
Looks more like Hobbits' feet. Do they come with flea spray?
I hope the lights work on these. You could see where you're walking in the dark.
That would be cool.
One of the astronauts called. He wants the rest of his suit back.
Now, I must confess. These are much prettier than the
big fluffy duck, bear, chicken, etc houseshoes.
NO COMMENT
LOL LOL LOL or HA HA HA I hope those skinny nobby knee'd legs are strong.
Alright! I wonder what kind of dress you'd wear with them. Kinda stylish, really.
Again.............no comment
WHAT THE %&$^#*(@#()#() She didn't paint her toenails!
Well......at least if you have stinky feet, you can blame it on the fish
Now, this is one twisted cowpoke. At least I assume cowpoke (hairy legs).
Better shut up. don't want to get into trouble.
What exactly are we looking at?
Okay......now I'm worried. Is this her feet....or does she really not have
any toes inside of these amputated animal hooves.
Nasty is all that comes to mind here. Probably doesn't own a cat.
Or maybe they use these for training the cat.......mmmmm

Constipation Cure
Posted by
Sandra
This is my PSA for everyone that suffers at time with constipation…………..
If you are bothered by occasional or frequent constipation, here’s what to do. Look in the mirror and repeat the following phrase three times in succession when symptoms occur:
My present and future financial and personal well being are totally in the hands of…
Barack Obama
, Joe Biden
, Harry Reid
, Nancy Pelosi
, Tim Geithner
, Rahm Emmanuel , Chris Dodd , and Barney Frank ! If that doesn’t scare the poop out of you, then you are probably destined to be backed up for the rest of your life. There is no need to thank me for this advice; I’m just doing it as a public service.
I found new names for some in this group and I liked it so much I want to pass it on.
Nobama, Bawney Fwank, EZkill Emanuel, and Piglosi.
