Little shit had me up at four playing. I have the perforations in my hand to prove it. 😀

You should see my forearms. Both of them.
We have her over 17 years now.
She wasn’t well last week, but lots of sleep and quiet helped.
She eats and drinks as usual again.
And is absolutely crazy about my self-made yogurt. 🙂

Did the sap-treatment work? Have you seen the link?

I can’t find the link now. I’ve been trying to use vegetable oil, but that isn’t working very well.

Beautiful, evocative colors. The first thing that came to mind was the tree was a substitute for a windmill. Then the elephants became Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. As for Dulcinea, you’re on your own. Dream your own impossible dream. Maybe it will happen in your next life if you’re good.

I searched this image looking for the artist or an explanation…

Google Lens found no matches for it… similar images, but without the spaceship(?) showed up in the results as advertising or examples for an AI program called “Open Art.”

It doesn’t necessarily mean this is AI, or created by that program, though it well could be… There’s always a chance that it’s a genuine painting, in a style that Open Art and/or other AI software have stolen to copy.

“Happy as a pig in mud”! Except…the pig won’t come into the house and shake the mud all over and grin at you as if that’s the most wonderful gift he can give you!

This photo looks perfectly real… too real, considering the mud.

But when I tried to search it, I couldn’t find any credit or description… It was used to illustrate articles or ads.

I’d like to know what’s going on in the upper right corner.

There might be not one but three pristine white dogs.up there, that seem eerily not part of this scene.

If it was used for ads etc. then my guess is the three white dogs were superimposed/photoshopped the traditional (Non AI) way.

I suppose, but I can’t figure out what they’re doing there, since they’re out of scale and almost invisible.

I looked at the image several times before I noticed them, and even then, I wasn’t sure what I was seeing.

So if somebody pasted them in… Why??

Believe me, I am not one for saying bugs are cute.

But this one is kind of cute, like a fluffy toy made of pipe cleaners.

Of course, now that I’ve taken a chance on saying that, someone will tell me it’s a deadly poison killer something or other from remote Africa.

It is, though.

Very very roughly (sorry Alexi) the sun is almost 300 Mercury diameters across.

So if this sun image is 6″ across, Mercury would be a teeny tiny fraction over .02″, or if you think in metric, about half a milimeter. The eye of a needle is about twice that.

The Earth isn’t very big, either. About 3 Mercuries.

So supposing I find this mouse ….not saying that I did, mind you,

even though…
he’s really quite visible

If I don’t let the cat get him, or i find him before he’s caught in that nasty mousetrap under the table….

Just what am I supposed to do with him?

I really don’t need or want a pet mouse.

Isn’t there a book he belongs in, like all the other creatures and people in the scene?

I’m hoping those are her saved name tags, and not her door, with all her previous titles still lined up.

Also wondering why all the logos are wearing off the old ones.

Club 747 was a discotheque formerly located at 2525 West Henrietta Road, New York. It operated off and on from November 1977 to 1986. The interior was decorated to resemble a Boeing 747 airliner and employees wore pilot and flight attendant costumes.

The entrance was through a fuselage door.

So near (in space) and yet so far (in time). We came to NY in 2004 or I would have been there (I love to dance).

From yesterday.
Thanks!
I’ll find time to watch “The Nude Bomb” today and let you know what I think about it tomorrow.
