After lunch, Michiels has to meet a client who wants to photograph the renowned Li River cormorant fishermen.

"There are just three people who still know how to fish with birds," Michiels explains. "Two of them are over 80."

I don't see any animal cruelty here. It looks like they are more like pets. They have been taken down so many times they know what to do. I would love to see them tackle an old angry Brahma bull or one from the bullfighting rings in Spain or Mexico.

Now, I can see that I would not want to get into a fight with one of these guys even in my younger days unless I had a .45. They are very athletic and strong looking.

Good video Randy I enjoyed it.

I have been expecting the same thing from NHRA's 20-time funny car winner's John Force's 3 girls. One of them almost got it recently this year but like this girl escaped death. It takes a special person to keep an 11,000 HP rig going in a straight line for a 1/4 of a mile at 325 MPH.

In this race against dad Brittany's car seems to die at the end as the fire goes out. I can't see who was ahead at that moment but she may have been ahead of ole dad.

Here is her crackup this year.
