I couldn’t figure out at first just what was going on with the guy in the foreground. Then, I realized that his left arm and hand are blurred. He must have been moving it just as the picture was taken.
Great photo! And, I can’t imagine being on the sewing committee and producing more than a quarter million masks in only THREE DAYS!!! Lord Almighty!
Under Canadian and American road rules, she is both using the wrong arm and the wrong signal for a right turn.
What the rules are in the Netherlands, I have no idea.
You are right of course. But those rules are designed for cars with a driver on the left side. They are not all that logical for a bike rider with two arms available to signal. As long as you communicate, I am fine with it.
I use the hand on the side that I am turning. I know the proper signals (all with the left arm (& finger?)) but figure most drivers don’t know them. So pointing right with an outstretched right arm should be clear to anyone.
I will posit that there are, in fact, eleven differences, as I found what I believe constitutes another that is not included in your solution. Yes, that also means that I missed one of yours, and it was an easy one too. Dang it!
another difference?
The phone cord is not only more bowed out below the mouthpiece, but also bowed out above the earpiece.
Finally made the time to look at part two. Again, an eye opener.
But what occurred to me as I was watching it was the importance placed on propaganda by all sides. The physical and monetary resources necessary to produce it throughout either conflict must have been substantial; printing ink, paper, presses, transport vehicles, electricity, heating gas, building maintenance costs, water, etc. etc. etc… and none of those resources going to produce front line equipment.
I’m adding this here because I think it relates.
You may have heard of a new publication…
The Betrayal of Anne Frank
A Cold Case Investigation
by Rosemary Sullivan
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD BOOK NUMBER (ISBN)
9781443463041 (hardcover)
9780062892355 (hardcover)
…which purports to have solved the mystery of who betrayed Anne Frank, her family, the Van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer
The book’s investigative techniques and conclusion have come into question; enough so that publication has been suspended by the Dutch publisher, and the German publisher is considering following suit. This LINK leads to a 12 minute broadcast item by Matt Galloway, host of CBC’s “The Current,” beginning with a recap of his interview with Rosemary Sullivan, and continuing on to his interview with Dutch Holocaust historian Johannes Houwink ten Cate on the February 04, 2022 broadcast of “The Current.”
I have the book on hold at the library, but I’ll be reading it with a somewhat more skeptical mind-set after hearing this.
Some will call this pedantry, but I call it proper interpretation. 🍚
What is shown is ice cream with breakfast and therefore is not a proper celebration of the holiday; which is “Ice Cream For Breakfast Day”, and not “Ice Cream Accompanying Breakfast Day.”

BTW, which one are you, Dennis?? (hehehe)
yes, shutter speed wasn’t exactly lightning fast back in the day
Accepting that everyone worked at the same speed:
It is impressive (I hope I’ve done the math correctly).
(260,000 masks) ÷ (120 workers) = 2,166 2/3 masks/worker
2,166 2/3 (masks/worker) ÷ 3 days = 722 2/9 (masks/worker)/day)
722 2/9 (masks)/worker)/day) ÷ 8 (hours/day) = 90 5/18 (masks/worker)/hour
90 5/18 (masks/worker)/hour ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 1 109/216 (masks/worker)/minute
I get about 1 mask every 2 minutes per worker, too – but I doubt that they worked without sleep. Make it nearly 1 per minute.
First liners indeed.
Don’t forget potty breaks…

You’re right! That she’s using signals at all is a big plus!
The painting has a lot of detail to unpack. Everything is very well done!
what does the VanKokkum painting and this one have in common?
Hooray! I saw them, too.
Obviously.
She’s doing it perfectly right.
Remember, it was you that brought this on yourself. 🙂

No pun intended – the rules are that way here!
I just learned something today.
But as our mother’s used to say:
“That’s for all the times I didn’t catch you.”
I use the hand on the side that I am turning. I know the proper signals (all with the left arm (& finger?)) but figure most drivers don’t know them. So pointing right with an outstretched right arm should be clear to anyone.
There’s actually a movement in the US to eliminate the bent left arm/right turn signal, as invisible to drivers, and use only the right arm out.
Yeah right. – Turning left riding a bicycle without losing balance?
I don’t think so.
I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with.. I never mentioned turning left.
I was talking about the “left arm/right turn” signal that we were taught in school…
Left arm out, bent at the elbow into an L shape, with forearm and hand pointing straight up.
Unfortunately, these days, not all drivers know that a left arm pointing upwards signals “right”.
….
“Left” is left arm out.
“Stop” is left arm straight down.
Early cars and carriages had no signal lights, so this system was designed to accommodate their drivers, who sit on the left in the US.
We still use those old signals.
Now safety experts want bicycle right turns legally signaled with the right arm for better visibility and understanding.
…
That said, I rode many many crosstown miles on bicycles, being very late to learn to drive a car…
I always signaled left turns with my left arm straight out… No problem.
You learn to balance… and besides, your hand is back on the handlebars once you’re actually turning.
….
How do bicycles signal left turns in Germany?
Left arm…
One hard-ridin’ granny!

“Who was that strange masked basset?”
Those things do have a practical use! 😀
Especially for a basset with a headache…
Oh yes. Make that a migraine.
What a great sleep mask!
“Since they can’t see me, I can stay here all day.”
But can s/he do it on purpose, that’s what I’d like to see.
Wow! Got ’em all before bedtime!
Me too!
You guys did notice that there are TEN?
Just checkin’….
Yes, I did – and I really got all ten. Real ten.
I still do remember the tricky one from last time.
Since I don’t remember this puzzle, do I get an extra reward?
Yes! You get double the points for a super solution!
Yes, Susan.
LOL
Yeah, when I posted I had only found nine, then went back and found the tenth!
And I got all 10 right now!
Grey Hares!
That video was excellent! Arctic Hares are too cute!
(their role in the food chain was hard to watch, though….thankfully, it was very brief.)
I GOT ALL NINE!
Wait.
You mean there’s one more?
Found it!
Puzzle day again, my Cleo Pals…
And yes… It’s Sam Basset, P.I. again as well ….
hard at work, solving some puzzles of his own.
…
Corned beef or pastrami for lunch?
Where did i put my keys?
Why do the pretty dames always turn out to be the ones who try to kill me?
Wow… is that guy out in the hallway here to kill me, too?
What would Dick Tracy do?
…..
And just think…. all YOU guys have to do is find TEN little differences.
An extra one this week or it’s too easy for Sam… in fact, he probably already sniffed out 27.
But 17 are false leads… sorry, Sam.
Ten’ll do it.
…
I see some of you already have ’em…
.
So you may not even (sniffle..) need my solution…
But here…. I made it for you anyway. (Snif…. ):
Reading your write-up was most entertaining!!! Well done and always a treat!
I will posit that there are, in fact, eleven differences, as I found what I believe constitutes another that is not included in your solution. Yes, that also means that I missed one of yours, and it was an easy one too. Dang it!
Well… No.
got em all, pastrami is just too salty for me, now Corned Beef, I’m in!
Me too, but it’s not the salt, it’s the pepper.
Some people like biting into peppercorns… but for me it ruins the taste.
I surprised myself with ten!
.
now she Leighs herself to sleep

He turned 95 half a year ago. Mazel tov!
Is this a preview of your next crime story?
The music is playing in my head.
From yesterday.
Finally made the time to look at part two. Again, an eye opener.
But what occurred to me as I was watching it was the importance placed on propaganda by all sides. The physical and monetary resources necessary to produce it throughout either conflict must have been substantial; printing ink, paper, presses, transport vehicles, electricity, heating gas, building maintenance costs, water, etc. etc. etc… and none of those resources going to produce front line equipment.

60 minutes just did a story on this
Ten of these things are not like the others….
Good morning Cleo puzzlers!
…and my personal favorite:
It’s gaming weekend at the plods castle. More geeks. My poor DIL
Y’all have a great weekend. (((((HuGz!)))))
Some will call this pedantry, but I call it proper interpretation. 🍚
What is shown is ice cream with breakfast and therefore is not a proper celebration of the holiday; which is “Ice Cream For Breakfast Day”, and not “Ice Cream Accompanying Breakfast Day.”
Different type of waffle… not a big deal.
Wafer, cornet, ice-cream cone – take your pick(y).
So eat the ice cream first and the waffle for dessert? snerks
(burp)
Ten 10 ten 10 ten
Breakfast, not dinnerdinner…
Yay! I finally found all 9!
Oops there’s 10 today. Back to looking for the last one.
