Oops… I got distracted, forgetting it’s my job every year to bring the

Revolutionary War tunes for the marching band.

Here’s the link that makes it start with the piece I picked out… some others have so many instruments they sound like a big parade…. Which is fine, but not if you want to picture it as our little trio.

(Best to right click and open in a new window, so you can have the music and the band. Otherwise you’ll lose this page.)

[audio src="https://archive.org/details/MusicOfTheRevolutionaryWar/EarlofDorchestersMarch.mp3" /]

BTW, that link works for me right now…. But I think it was last year that WordPress kept messing it up (what a surprise!), and it wouldn’t work after a little time passed.

If it happens again, or if you’d simply rather…

you can just go to….

https://archive.org/details/MusicOfTheRevolutionaryWar/

and select the Earl of Dorchester’s March, or choose your own.

Either way…. If you let it keep going
it runs through everything anyway.

Yup… WordPress changes the first link by adding the HTML tags, which we don’t need in these comments. It won’t work that way.

If I use either button to edit my comment (the one that says “click to edit” or the one you get by long-pressing the settings button underneath the comment field), the tags won’t be in it.

If I save, it’s okay again…. Till a while later when it puts the tags back.

The second link, though almost identical, isn’t affected.

Hmm, it seems to be two legs short.
I see a blurry leg segment in the back, but it needs to somehow attach to the mid-section of the ant.

It’s supposedly a real picture of a sea slug known as a Spanish Dancer.

But they’re about a foot across, occasionally more, up to as large as three feet wide.

So is this manipulated?

Those are not 6″ rocks on the shore in the top picture… I don’t believe the camera angle and normal perspective would make the creature look 75 feet across.

I once took a picture of a sailboat going between two large boulders in a high sea.
The boat was real, but the “boulders” were about 18″ tall and the high sea was the coastal tide splashing against the rocks.
Perspective is everything.

It’s a wildlife sanctuary, and a keeper and long term resident IIRC.

Well, “wild” as in not domesticated. All cheetahs are wild. Someone tame? Acclimated to people? Yes. Wild? Mostly.

The lack of punctuation and all capital letters is accurate.

If I stop for a moment and focus, I can read it fairly easily if I close my left (non dominant) eye.

With both eyes open, it’s faint; with only my left, almost invisible.

Happy Fourth of July, everybody!

If you’re not a US dweller, or for any other reason not celebrating our Independence Day…. you can still have a happy 4th of July, unless your calendar is very different from mine.

If there’s no 4th of July on it…. Have a happy whatever day …. or other unit of time measurement… you’re experiencing when you see this.

And if you don’t measure time on your planet…. well…. just be happy, ok?
