'Baskin' is a drama/adventure Turkish movie, filmed in early 1970s.  

'Baskin' is translated to English, to mean 'Raid' or 'Attack'. 

The story is about the assassination of Istanbul Police Chief by a Mafia group to further the groups unlawful cause.  The son (Kadir Inanir) of the deceased Police Chief takes revenge of the mafia group, for killing his father. 

          The son walks out of jail, with Istanbul landscape and the Ford Galaxie in the background. 

I really enjoyed this movie as the plot was very good and the actors in the movie are 'legends' now within Turkish Cinema. 

          Galaxie is on the chase. 

I am a fan of 'old' cars and in this movie, the son of the deceased Police Chief drives a beautiful dark blue 1959 Ford Galaxie, to carry out his revenge.  I have included pictures of the vehicle.  

          The son and the Galaxie. 

Finally, a link of the movie has been attached for your viewing pleasure.

Enjoy. 

I am the Mayor

I am the Mayor

I read an article that was truelly ingenuous and witty, which I will share a part of it with you today.

The article was written by Mr Feschuk of Maclean's Magazine, for the November 18, 2013 edition.  I suggest you search it online and read it.  

What I will do is, re-write 'word for word' the last paragraph of this humorous article below.  

"My name is Rob Ford.  

I am your mayor.  

I drink to the point of stupor so often I refer to them as 'my drunken stupors'. 

I've been accused of sexual harassment, verbal harassment, pretty much all of the big harassments.  

I'm profane as hell. 

I've violated conflict of interest laws. 

Abused my power and position.  

The cops have been called to my house. 

I kicked citizens off a bus, so it could pick up my football team.  

My driver is up on extortion charges.  

Oh, and by the way, I smoke crack cocaine.  

That's my record as an elected official. 

And you know what? I still have a 43% approval rating. 

Don't ever try to tell me what's possible."

I thought it was a good read, thank you for visiting,
