OBJECTS OF INTEREST
Those fins did increase the trunk area.
Only if the wind is blowing where you want to go.
I found a painting on the side of the road and decided to paint it black for my own use.
Only then did I notice the 8" gash.
So I cut a piece of cloth-backed vinyl and contact cemented it to the back over the hole.
And this is the price they paid.
I'm not in the habit of painting over someone else's artwork even if it's damaged, but this one was beyond redemption. Let me explain.
You have been trained all of your life to recognize bad music. Oh, I don't mean "bad" as just not matching your taste in music, but bad as in sour notes, missing the beat, etc. Think of it as trying to listen to someone who just sat down at a piano and started playing with no training whatsoever - like this...
Well, I have trained my eyes the way most of you have trained their ears. I can identify an awful painting instantly. That painting I found on the side of the road was awful and deserved a quiet death.
*I now consider cartoons to be just another object.
TAGSAM stands for Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism, and it refers to the robotic arm with which OSIRIS REx reached out and grabbed a bunch of dirt from asteroid Bennu, which was finally delivered to Earth in late September after an epic 7-year mission.
I'm in absolute awe at the engineering prowess it took to accomplish that.
Boy, this didn't age well...
If there is such a thing as a perfect logo this is it.
Dumpster Diving
Huge Sandwich
I thought Americans were the only ones to eat like that.
Do you think when a firefighter blows out the birthday candles it's just like another day at work?
Dinosaurs had sex in doggy position way before dogs existed yet the position was not named after them.
THAT WHICH IS UNSETTLING
And...
If my dog wouldn't go in then neither would I.
On The Bathroom Ceiling Of A Local Restaurant
Walked Outside To See What The Dog Was Barking At
The intruder is pretty hard to see.
Or is it?
Got Home Late From Work To Find My Entryway Vent Like This
No word on whether they had a dog or cat that would do that trying to get at a mouse in the ductwork.
This last one is hard to see no matter how I lightened or darkened it but it shows bare footprints left on the dew-covered steps to his home.
High contrast did the trick.
What if all those people who claimed to have seen an angel were just high on peyote or some such shit?
In America, we can say whatever we want and everyone can have a gun. I'm surprised that we've made it this far.
VEHICULAR ODDITIES
Would you casually pass that vehicle?
That illustrates how effective the protective shell of an automobile is.
As opposed to this...
My dumbass once thought I could get my huge Chevy 2500HD crew cab towing a big enclosed trailer through a drive-thru like that. I ended up just driving the whole rig up over the curbs into the next parking lot.
Remember this Pet Detective move?
I wouldn't blame him.
I would blame this jerk off.
I'm fortunate enough to have a welding shop right around the corner from my house. I always have custom ladder racks made for each truck. I like them extended over the cab to keep the really long ladder from vibrating.
I get a cross piece that will accommodate walkboards for hauling and to stand on for quick relatively low work that I can drive my truck next to.
I also have them weld L brackets on the side to hold step ladders.
It was one of those L brackets that caught on a tree in the sidewalk and pulled it down when I was leaving a bar. That first clip above reminded me of that. I just drove off and left it what with me disinclined to take a breathalyzer.
The French Mountain Police
People amuse me. I fully expect someone to leave a comment that the helicopter is not French but Austrian or some such. Gentle Readers, nobody cares where it actually is. What matters is the skill involved in doing it.
Me: The whitest thing you can do is use the divider at checkout and a grocery store.
Them: And the blackest thing?
Me: I'm only allowed to make fun of white people.
*I'm rather proud of that one. I think I found the perfect photos to wed with that message.
I told my conservative neighbor that they were making the "Kool-Aid Man" into a "Kool-Aid They" just to watch his meltdown.
HUMAN MENAGERIE
This guy seems to have retired.
Pity that.
The Wizard Of Oz' Wrap Party - 1939
And...
My favorite Uncle Bill once told my elderly mother that he was going to take her out to lunch and while driving he said that he had heard of a place that had delicious chicken wings. He took her to Hooter's. And when they walked in every waitress came up and and hugged my uncle and called him by name.
After the mountains of firewood I have chopped in my life I find that nothing but depressing.
Did you notice he did that with one arm and then the other?
I'm going to blame Demon Rum.
Looks like Irish Travellers to me. In my city, an Irish Traveller mother had her daughter swallow some diamonds in a jewelry store and the cops had to wait for the kid to shit to get the evidence.
BTW the gypsy sect Irish Travellers put two Ls in their name.
The creation of an heirloom.
My mother knitted each of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren a quilt. She asked the ones old enough to answer what colors they wanted used and I picked fall colors.
That is a real Mission Chair. It would be worth thousands if the 5"x 7" label on the bottom hadn't fallen off when I was cleaning it up. Come to find out, forgers have gotten so good that the only way to discern real from fake is that label that I, in my ignorance, so carelessly discarded.
Biracial Family Circa 1900
I am 100% convinced that most of the world's problems could be solved if we as a species just started fucking each other without regard to race, religion, creed, etc.

Here's the way I expect the racists among my readers to respond.
Sign Guy
I love watching people who really know what they are doing.
It must be hard being Goth in this damn heat.
*"Your" - I read it a dozen times and still missed it.
"He never does this!" - all dog owners, all the time, about things their dogs do constantly.

I even like the darkness. It draws you in - physically. I found my neck craning to get closer.
