Looks a lot like yesterday’s pink beach, but without the palette knife work.

Noooo… red tides are toxic!

Beautiful pink sand is colored by crushed coral.

Hey, little buddy. How fast can you type the complete works of William Shakespeare?

In a modern typeface or do I have to use a 16th century one?

If I can just type it into a file, the latter would take 6.2 minutes vs. 5.9.

Printing it on paper depends on your printer speed, of course.

Why do you think he has a problem?

Maybe everything is fine…

Unless those weird vertical letters and possibly melted keys mean something.

You wouldn’t have a problem if you met him in a dark alley?

Certainly, but at that point he probably wouldn’t be between the keyboard and the chair.

Maybe PEBSAC….

between the streetlight and my car!

Got that from a short story by Isaac Asimov from a short story.
It was, of course, from his iRobot series.

I followed a couple of rings all the way around and forced my eyes to follow. After a bit of a struggle I was able to look at the picture as a whole and see the concentric ring pattern.

I never doubted it, I just wanted to see if I could see through the illusion.

Shadow of a Doubt (on the theater marquee) was filmed here in Santa Rosa.

I’m not sure why they didn’t just do it in Hollywood, but it does give a lived in, Art Deco feel to the movie.

If you ignore the malls and Burger Kings and such, the city still has a late 1930s look.

Some of the buildings still exist, and even where they don’t, the architecture and aura of the place come through.

The caption below
 
“February 1943. Albuquerque, New Mexico. “Photographs show the modern city and ‘Old Town’ Albuquerque.” Now playing at the “Pueblo Deco” Kimo on Route 66: Hitchcock’s “Shadow of a Doubt.” Acetate negative by John Collier for the Office of War Information.”
 
Comes from     HERE.
 
A link to the      KIMO THEATRE WEBSITE (WITH HISTORY)
 
Google translate did not give a translation for “Kimo Kiva Blatz”, leading me to believe it is a Luxembourgish name.

GOOGLE TRANSLATE WAS WRONG ….GASP, GASP, GASP ! ! !
Here’s a clip from the history history page at the link above.
 
“The name KiMo is commonly pronounced with a hard ‘K’ sound for the first letter and an ‘ee’ sound for the letter “i”. However it is more correctly pronounced with a soft ‘k’, more like a short ‘H’ and a short ‘i’ as in ‘is’. ( him-o ) Due to the use of the name outside it’s native Tiwa culture it is now a ‘dead’ word and is no longer used by native speakers.”

Absolutely!

Some of his greatest movies had already been made.

IIRC, Rebecca, The 39 Steps, and Suspicion were all in the 30s, and Shadow was post-WWII.

The little guy coming in to drink water and then resuming his post reminds me of the Loony Tunes coyote and sheepdog who are enemies at work (in cartoons) and cordial after they clock out.
