India’s Blue City
02/07/11 -- Pretty Cool
“Travellers journeying through the desolate landscape of the unforgiving Thar desert in the Indian state of Rajasthan would know when they had reached their destination. The sky would fall to the ground and everything would become a single color – blue. Jodhpur would lie before them, opening up like a blue treasure in the desert. Why the population of the fortress city – the Blue City as it is universally known – took to painting their houses in various shades of blue is not completely certain. Yet most believe it is to do with the prevailing caste system in India. It is thought that Brahmins – members of the priestly class – first took to coloring their houses blue (yet perhaps it should really be called indigo) to signify their domicile and to set them apart from the rest of the population. Soon, however, the rest of the population followed suit. History does not tell us which brave non-Brahmin was the first to do it, yet it happened and since that day the people of Jodhpur have steadfastly maintained this tradition.” w/ photos

“Police arrested a 53-year-old man who they said crashed his stolen car into two other vehicles in Sacramento. [The] Police Department said it received a report of a man who crashed his car, hitting two vehicles, fences and landscaping of two homes in the area of 24th Street and John Still Drive. Witnesses told police the man, who was bloodied and injured from the incident, fled on foot. Police said a man, identified as James Brown, was arrested in the 7700 block of 24th Street. Investigators said the officers were able to identify Brown as the driver of the car because his false teeth, which were knocked out when the vehicle’s airbag was released, was left sitting on the floorboard of the vehicle. The car was later found to be stolen, police said. Police said Brown was arrested for possession of a stolen car and hit-and-run charges.” w/ photo
