He’s a scratchy, bitey, spitting brick of furry muscle with no tail, but he rubs my ankles with a noise like a rumbling freight train. Fuzzy little thug.

The glorious stratified geology of an endlessly repainted subway station:
Some Mario-Brothers-Sharp clouds over Manhattan

Visible in this picture is the Norden bombsight. Designed to provide precision targeting for a bomber travelling at low speed at low altitude. It didnt scale at all well to high speed, high altitude bombing. The Enola Gay used the Norden to drop its nuclear payload, a device that required no precision, over Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. It missed its target by 700 feet (more than two football fields)

That looks more like a heron than a crane to me. Still majestic, though.

Our bathroom at work has a motion activated light timer. Seeing as our lights are florescent, I’m not sure what the energy savings of installing it are. I still feel, after a couple years, the purpose of it was to make people get out of the bathroom sooner, since it shuts off after 3 minutes.
Apparently it stopped working, and this was the temporary (I hope) solution.
Someone has a habit of washing their hands quite aggressively, so that water ends up all over the counter. I expect we will find out who that is now.
Unrelated, here are a couple mushrooms that were growing near my house. I wish I’d had a quarter to put down for scale. They were quite large.
I know next to nothing about mushrooms, so I have no idea what kind they are.

While exact scale is always prefferred for classification, using the adjacent grass-blossoms for comparison I think we can safely class this as a “solid donger” on the anthopologists’ phallo-logrithmic sight scale.

They did look brazenly obscene.
(((like “magically delicious” only dirtier) because they are in the dirt) I’m here all week)
