Birds don’t have teeth… but geese have a pretty darn good imitation of them… on their tongues and on their bills.

Technically, they can’t chew… but they can rip and bite and make you wish you’d never been rude to a goose.

I knew a girl back in college days who brought her goose to campus. He followed her to classes, and sat around with her at the Student Union.

She thought he would behave, and he mostly did… but… well…. he was a goose, and they have minds of their own.

She tried to hide him in her boarding house room, but.he was too noisy… And he got banned from the campus cos he bit people.

Back to the farm he had to go

BFFs? I can see one, but I can’t see the other if she’s there.

I have to believe this one too is a repeat. But I can’t remember the two girl’s identities. Whoever they are, if I was a little boy of their age, I would probably have been crushing on one or both.

It’s not about the identity of the girls… I think (though of course, I don’t know) that they’re models, not famous.

You’re supposed to squint and see something else… not in the picture, like a hidden object, but the picture itself transforms, like some others we saw quite a while ago.

I see what may only be part of it…. I’m going to post a smaller version, to find out whether it’s more visible that way, as some are.

Let’s see if this helps…

small version… is this cheating?

Either way, I think I might only see part of it, or maybe that’s all we’re meant to see.

What I see…

A light colored face, on the left, might be an older woman, or possibly Native American man, but it’s not very clear.

The Statue of Unity in Gujarat, honoring Indian leader Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who greatly helped to unite India, before and after independence.

The statue stands nearly 600 feet tall, described as twice the height of the US Statue of Liberty… but that’s counting Liberty’s pedestal, which is half the height of the monument. In reality, head to toe, this figure is four times her height.

It’s beautiful.

But then, my twisted brain thinks Gertrude and Heathcliff would like those trees too.

I stopped going to GoComics because the new site causes my laptop to heat up and the fans come on. Most of YouTube doesn’t do that. I might come back, at least to see if the same thing is happening.

Reputed to be the 1st mass produced, moderately priced TV, in its 1st public showing, at a New York department store, August, 1945..

It has a 5×7″ screen, and sold for $100, which was a lot of money then, coming close to $2,000 in 2026 buying power.

That’s not moderate, in my book… but some people do pay that for TVs today, so I suppose it’s on the same level.

The lead loco is a Mallet, looks like there’s a banker on the rear. Lot of weight in that train, looks to be around 35 wagons, so probably upwards of 3000 tons.

Wow…. And look at the spindly trestle that has to support all that weight!

Timber is strong in compression.

Not timber, but steel, judging by the lattice-work of the gussets.

And, Yes, wood under compression IS very strong.

Interesting name you have for the locomotive at the rear end – “banker“.
Our term here is “pusher“.
I like your term better, it is more descriptive.

You’re right, the supports are steel, wasn’t paying attention when I typed ‘wood’, and used to seeing wooden trestle bridges in old photographs.

‘Banker’, or ‘Banking’, is used (Over here) when adding additional units to an existing unit. In the power industry we use (Or did when I was at work) the same terminology when adding additional transformers to a substation.

No can do. I hope it’s not part of the baked Alaska that whoever’s the chef here has just ruined.
The apple of my eye is the trash panda in the window below the stained glass. But I can’t tell if his attention is focused on the table or the kitten. If it’s the kitten, I hope he is crushing on it like I was on those two little girls sixty years ago. There is/was a meme going around showing a raccoon, standing on its hind legs and holding a cat in its front paws like a groom carrying the bride over the threshold. The legend on this photo/poster is this: “I’m taking the cat. Don’t try to stop us.”

I’ve looked and looked, and I didn’t see anything that’s clearly an apple, though I see one possibility of an apple.

I think this is a page from June’s Journey, the puzzle video game, or another like it, if there is one.

We’ve had pages from it before… the problem is, the game is panning rooms, and also changing search objects as it does.

In a still picture like this, we may not be seeing the part of the room where the object is hidden, or the game might be about to ask us to find something else that IS on this screen.

Even googling it, you find still pictures, and it’s hard to match up the correct object with the correct screen

So I have two thoughts… the apple might not be on this screen at all…

Or maybe… but I can only say maybe…

the apple might be…
the blurry little round thing on the floor, behind the chair… visible through the slats, if you look below the towel hanging on the chair back. The Swiss cheese is kind of pointing at it, though it’s not on the table.

i can’t tell whether that’s an apple or a ball for the kitty, but it could be the hidden apple.

I noticed that too, but I thought it had nothing to distinguish it as an apple; no stem, no dimples.
