My mother had one of his full albums.
I only remember that this song was on it, and if you had asked me 3 minutes ago how it went I couldn’t have told you.
The moment it started though it all came back. 🎶

I looked at all the posted album covers I could find, but none of them were that of my memory.
It was either a 1958 original pressing (although I doubt it) or one released prior to 1963 (for sure).
It could also be my memory isn’t accurate and I’m just not recognizing it.    🙁

Richard Tuschman, completed five steps here.
 
1. Built the miniature diorama.
2. Photographed it.
3. Photographed the models.
4. Shrunk the models’ photographs.
5. Digitally inserted shrunken photographs of them into the photograph of the diorama.
 
Sadly, I can’t find any current or upcoming exhibitions of his works.
This one is part of his “Hopper Meditations.”

It’s kind of eerie and reminds me of embers on trees in a forest fire.

Agree with mr_sherman about “eerie,” but to me it looks like something underwater.

The below quote comes from…
 
HERE.
 
There is more of Burton’s work there, but I’d leave it to nighthawks to post more as he sees fit. There is indeed a certain sameness to it, but it is interesting.

From another site, he spends hours and even days creating even one.
 

 
"Carl Burton’s oddly hypnotic animated GIFs depict a range of monochromatic scenes: a strange,
pulsating cylinder or mysterious beams of light in a lush forest. No matter the subject matter,
though, the style remains the same.

It’s a look the New York-based artist came up with while experimenting on his laptop at the NY
Public Library, and he’s since gone on to illustrate everything from articles by Margaret
Atwood to the second season of true-crime podcast Serial. "They're influenced by nature,
architecture, mundane environments, and the news," he says of the GIFs.

They may also be more than just moving images at some point in the future. "I'm also currently
working on a game in this style," he says. In the meantime, you can check out more of his work
on Tumblr. "

A murder drone for the murder hornets.
That is so sci-fi it’s almost a trope. XD

Flame thrower drones have been around for a while, they’ve been used for ages to burn things off of power lines where it’s difficult to get an access platform to them, or it’s a major headache to switch them off to allow access.

Why is it Cleo isn’t going to use it on hornets?

@ Susan (from Monday)

While out shopping, I saw some Christmas trees listed as six to eight feet for $45.00.
They weren’t quite “Charlie Brown,” but they were definitely on the low side of “lush.”

This is not the way I remember the song, but Little Eve did not make a video.

Yes, she did (not the best video, but any of the channels was using the same one / it also goes to an album cover at 1 minute 52 seconds).

Regarding yesterday…

Thank you all again for this extraordinary party!

Unfortunately, I had a splitting toothache later last night – but after brushing my teeth (again), Ibuprofen and – since that wasn’t quite enough – a sugar-free anti-inflammatory cough drop I finally went to sleep and lost the swelling of my cheek…
Yes; I had my check-up at the dentist less than two weeks ago…

I may be tomorrow. Celebrating my youngest daughter’s bday today. She’s been here since just before American Thanksgiving and staying into the New Year. We last saw her in January 2020, so we’re partying!

I’ve brought this over from Ripley’s because it’s Wednesday.
 
stevesilver48 about 11 hours ago
Hey now, Ripley’s tough crowd! Good thing I can take a punch huh? I really must lead a sheltered life! I swear I never heard that Butt light joke before. You guys sure heard it and you let me know it! Ouch! But just like a Timex watch, I can take a licking and keep on ticking. Here’s one about this guy who truly hates his wife.She screams at him, disagrees with every word he says and even hits him sometimes. He’d divorce her but he’s a strict Catholic. He’s telling his pal about this and his pal asks ”Why don’t you just have her whacked?” The guy’s like, “I’d do it in a second and pray for forgiveness, but I don’t have those sort of connections.” His friend says, “I know a guy. His name’s Artie. Let me set you up with him.” The guy agrees. When he meets Artie and Artie hears his troubles, Artie says, “That woman sounds horrible! I’d do it for free, but not being compensated for my work sets a bad precedent. Tell you what though! I’ll do it for one dollar!” The guy agrees and tells Artie when she’ll be home alone. On the appointed day, Artie goes to the house, looks in the window and sees that she has a couple of friends visiting. He says, “Crap, I’ll have to do them all.” Artie slips in through the window and ends up strangling all three of them. He thought he was made in the shade but he left fingerprints and was subsequently arrested. ● ● ●

● ● ●
The next day the headline in the paper said, Artie Chokes 3 For A Dollar! BADABOOM! A groaner and no warning! Silver, Out!
