I was disappointed, maybe 10 years ago, when I made newspaper pirate hats, of childhood memories, for some friends at a pirate festival…

(It was a joke cos we didn’t wear costumes.)

I’d forgotten how much smaller newspaper pages had gotten…

Modern papers and adult heads …

it worked, I guess….

but didn’t quite provide the same effect as the swashbuckling 1st grade bicorns I’d remembered.

My daughter was in FFA. We saw many scenes similar to this when they took their animals to the fair. This one is special!

Funny I was just going to say the same thing about seeing it at our county fair.

Those FFA kids get really close to their animals… I don’t know how they can bear to sell them at the end.

But being brought up with farming, I guess they’ve always known that’s the way the farm world works.

I believe our fair heroine is herself lying in shade, so her own shadow is absorbed. I do like the little black dog behind Cleo, who appears to be attacking our fair maiden’s tail.

Cleo had better watch out for that monkey behind her. It’s not on a leash.
It’s a warm day too, bare heads and bare arms, so who brought the toque, with pom poms yet, and why?
 

In all seriousness, here’s a link to “The Art Institute of Chicago.”     LINK     . The photograph the photographer took is really high resolution, so it can be zoomed up without detail loss (and there’s a lot of detail).

Nor can I. I wondered if Alexi might have mistaken the riding hat for a toque…?

I think I remember this intro. Not certain if it would have been this animation or a series of panels.

it’s officially an F-5E Tiger II. our youngest son was on his way home from work yesterday (san diego) and saw a bunch shooting landings. they were at Brown Field, in Marine markings.

And I see a sort-of cartoonish tiger face peering through branches waaay up in a tree.

Can you see it?

I figured that wasn’t what you meant… And I was right. 🙂

The universe is both looking after me, and having fun with me this week.
1)  The Franco American (it’s a Campbell’s brand and sold under the Campbell name in the U.S. / the can is 1/2 U.S. fl. oz. bigger) gravy I like is on sale this week for 99¢ a can so I /bought four and paid $3.95 total (my fellow Canadians on this site know about penny rounding).
2)  I needed printer ink so I went to Staples (Walmart, Canada used to carry it in store, now it’s only on line with a jacked price plus shipping / that chain has really gone downhill in the last while / it wouldn’t surprise me if management started closing stores) where not only did I find the ink cartridge, in the “impulse buy” display leading to the till I found an L.E.D. flashlight the perfect size for the car, and much to my happy surprise, Staples has apparently brought back Parker Jotter pens in blue ink. I bought both.
Now to the “having fun bit.” About two hours after I had started using the pen, it disappeared. I looked, and looked, and looked for it, finally coming to the conclusion it had fallen out of my pocket and was another one I had sent to the great stationery store in the sky. I went back and bought another one. I now have two Parker Jotter pens. Oh well, one of them is bound to disappear, so I have a spare.     🙂

This is a Subaru commercial (one I had never seen before), but also a fascinating look at city dogs learning how to herd sheep. It turns out a lot is in their DNA! I started imagining Max as a sheepdog!

Max ..um… well…. do you think the sheep would think he’s a fierce wolf…. or a stray lamb?

This strip is why I used to call the EWC “Klaude.”
