We follow two college teams. We get to root for both of them in the same bowl game Tuesday. Go teams!
Local security
I don’t know if a lot of cities have these, or if they’re more of a border thing.
Low-tech and obvious, but they’re probably meant to be obvious as a deterrent for whatever it is they’re trying to deter. The windows are pimped, so we don’t even know if there is really anyone in there at all. Maybe they’re just decoys.
On another subject, leaning over a jigsaw puzzle is a lot harder on the low back than I recalled, when I thought this was a good idea.
Something new
8 power, just like binoculars, but it’s a monocular. Click a button, and what you’re seeing appears as a photo on your cellphone.
The long-lens on my camera is essentially a 10 power, so this wouldn’t be that much different. I could look at a bird and shoot it with one machine instead of two. Brilliant! Maybe I need this! (Too bad I didn’t find out about it until after Christmas this year.)
Of course, it might be like trying to design the perfect car by crossing a sports car and a pickup truck and getting something that isn’t as good as either, but it sounds really cool!
Merry Christmas
It got off to a frosty start.
Turned on some big-screen holiday spirit.
Spent some time with the kids.
It was a very Amazon and Fed Ex Christmas at our house.
Broke out a holiday standard, a jigsaw puzzle. Haven’t done that in a couple decades.
By afternoon it was warm enough for a snooze in the sun on the deck.
Got the coolest present. It’s a digital photo frame, but it’s got its own website that the kids can upload to any time they want. It came set-up with a lot of pictures from them to start.
Excellent!
Scored some mighty fine fiber art.
Merry Christmas everybody!
See all these lumps on the ground?
They’re birds. Long-billed Curlews resting.
