Child of the Earth ”      By:  (No artist credited that I could find)
In the Gobi desert near the Mongolian border, Ganzu Province, China.
The only explanation of its meaning I found is a bit garbled and fairly disturbing.

At least this picture looks appetizing, unlike the dish that showed up on MontanaLady’s birthday.
 
From:
“Woman’s Day Collector’s Cook Book (revised and enlarged)
Published by: Simon and Schuster, New York
SBN: 671-21986-3
 
“ SKILLET FRANKS WITH BEANS ”
 
6 frankfurters, slliced
2 teaspoons instant minced onion
1/4 teaspoon instanced minced garlic (optional)
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried oregano leaves
1 tablespoon butter or margarine (use butter)
1 can (28 ounces) New England-style baked beans
1 medium tomato, cut in thin wedges

 
Sauté first 4 ingredients in butter
until frankfurter slices are lightly
browned. Add beans and heat well.
Add tomato wedges and heat gently
Makes 4 servings.

 
Notes from me:
I detest Bush’s beans.
How anybody can srew-up baking beans, I don’t know, but Bush’s managed it.

No teeth, but the other voices in my head are annoying.

And we have an official inventor in the house!

Y’all have a great day! (((((HuGz!)))))

Congratulations. The box contains the patent’s description, and a link to the site where I copied it from.

 
Automated vehicle condition grading
Patent number: 11377117
Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to automated vehicle condition grading. In examples, a set of
images for a vehicle are processed using a machine learning engine to generate an optical vehicle condition grade for
each image of the set. The resulting set of optical vehicle condition grades may be aggregated to generate an
aggregate optical vehicle condition grade for the vehicle. In some examples, additional information associated with
the vehicle is processed, which may be used to generate an adjustment grade. Accordingly, the adjustment grade and
the aggregate optical vehicle condition grade are used to generate a final vehicle condition grade for the vehicle. The
final vehicle condition grade is associated with the vehicle in a vehicle condition grade data store for subsequent use
by the vehicle grading service and/or by an associated client device, among other examples.
Type: Grant
Filed: October 21, 2021
Date of Patent: July 5, 2022
Assignee: IAA, Inc.
Inventors: Shawn Caswell, Meggan O’Malley, Stephen Muscarello, Michael Cornelison

It lets the auction company (Insurance Auto Auctions) rate the condition of the totaled cars they have and grades them so they know where to start pricing.

They take a butt load of pictures and the program compares them to others stored in the database to come up with the grades.
