In the spirit of Jim's Handy Visual Guides, I bring you this mini field guide to "hassels/hassles".
Hasselblad - a very fine camera, popular with photographers worldwide
David Hasselhoff - somewhat of a camera hog, inexplicably popular in Germany
Odd Hassel (yes that is his real name) - a Norwegian physical chemist, super duper popular with the 1969 Nobel Prize Committee
Plain, old-fashioned hassle - rush hour in Atlanta, popular with no one

Boy, that was a "gotcha" moment for sure. I was scrolling through there, looking for a link from each picture and the names, wondering where the heck you were going with the "hassel" theme -good chuckle invoker there!
Thanks, Jeni. I was mulling this one over for most of the day (which was slow until we had a machine problem that required me to work three hours longer than I had planned.
If it's such a hassle, why does everyone rush out there to be in the middle of it?
You could have posted a photo of Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Not that she's a great intellect or anything, but she would have made up for that pic of David Hasselhoff in his underwear.
Or you could have put a picture up of my aunt. She's a Hassel.
That had to be non-peak rush hour, because when I was in Atlanta, there were a helluva lot more cars on the freeways. Traffic there sucks rocks.
I totally want that camera.
ll - because they can't afford to have a McMansion in town.
dr s - there is no antidote to the Hasselhoff picture.
wa11z - if only I'd known...
kat - yes, clearly these cars are actually moving, so it isn't rush hour yet.
That is the Tech sign to the right of the Connector southbound, just north of downtown, isn't it?
As to rush hour, since there's for the most part a car length between the cars in the picture, they are moving at over 60 miles an hour, no way it's rush hour. Fermi probably took the picture at about 3:00 a.m. and lightened it to make it look like day time.
That's what I love about you -- you have my sense of humor!
dave - I didn't take any of these pictures, but yes that is Georgia Tech campus to the right of the highway.
TWG - glad you enjoyed it.
I need a new camera ... but it probably won't be a Hasselblad. Or a Hasselhoff, for that matter.
