I immediately clocked the scars and the more recent scratch.
Cute but dangerous.

On the other hand, two of them are working simultaneously: unheard of in road construction.

There were probably twelve more off camera, standing there scratching themselves and eating sandwiches while they watch.

Truth.
Now that I think about it, it’s rare to see a road construction crew actually working in SoCal. I’ve seen them working in NorCal, other states, even other countries, but in SoCal they are always standing around in groups chatting.

Back in the early 90s, a friend worked for a local arts nonprofit. The executive director asked in a planning meeting for someone to please explain what this “internet” was, and the communications director promptly answered that the internet was a big computer in Sweden. That seemed to satisfy the big boss.

I roughly estimate the paid lookie-loo to active worker ratio to be 5:1 here in SoCal.

In our department at my first employer we had a Hitler apologist, German-immigrant, blindingly unsafe, incompetent, computer illiterate technician. (Yes. He was in the Union.) A summer hire – assigned to show him how to use a PC – informed us that the tech, upon being told that the mouse was used to position the cursor, picked up the mouse and attempted to move the cursor by placing it directly on the screen. Later, the tech’s manager told some of us that the tech had come to him, concerned that he – biologically – could be infected with a computer virus. It all sounded like a big joke, but I and many others who had experiences working with him took what we heard as par for the course. (What finally got him transferred was his unsafe attitude and practices; even the Union had to consider the strong likelihood of someone getting killed.)

The tailings pond of bad internet has breached containment and has polluted the drinking water.
A tad dark for the unicorn chasers section.

I remember a rhino calf at the Memphis zoo years ago (they called him Stormin Norman: must have been early '90s) running around his enclosure. His legs didn’t really seem to move, instead he just seemed to bounce from one leg to the next in sequence while hurtling forward.
They are very fast creatures when the mood strikes them, even at adult size, and perhaps not that surprising since they are probably most closely related to horses.

You know, I woudn’t be surprised if some day someone finds out that rhinos actually are cartoon animals. From a parallel universe. That somehow crossed the boundaries and are real over here. And the same goes for hippos.

Baby rhinos are adorable, while baby hippos are comical.
