Ever had your thumb grabbed by a (tiny) Sharp-shinned Hawk? It really, really hurts (and took two of us to pry him loose!!)

Any relation to the other Wyeth?

Wyeths.

Well known illustrator N C. Wyeth was his grandfather…

Famous painter Andrew Wyeth was his father.

Jamie has siblings who are also artists, but he’s the most famous…or maybe the only actually famous one.

I would rather fall into the water, than to fall off of that contraption.

I had the same thought, looking at it.

In fact I’d be too terrified of the height to even stand there.

So that’s why I don’t get big bucks?

Oh wait… I do.

My Cleo and Company paycheck is… um… I think it’s nine figures now!

It never seems to make a big difference in my bank account whether I deposit $000,000,000 or $00,000,000 — I guess that’s why I forget.

I didn’t mean to imply that I’m underpaid.

More salt flats.

I don’t know whether this one is used for commercial production, though, because it’s Lake Abbe, in Djibouti… said to be one of the most inaccessible places on earth.

So, if you had a series of them, would that be a “corious line?”

I wish my camera was smart enough to focus on what I wanted and not some shiny object in the background!

Well, maybe not shoulder harnesses. I can’t be sure about the seat belts.

Puts the Titanic in unexpected perspective.

Would have been nice to have some years on the chart.

Out of curiosity, I checked them out. Here’s what I was able to find:
knock nevis: Originally Seawise Giant launched 1979. Eventually renamed the knock nevis. Dismantled in 2010, so it should be just a silhouette.
ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier) apparently several have been built and are still operating.
Maersk Line: One of many, first launched in 2013
Oasis Of The Seas:  Launched in 2009
Queen Mary 2: Launched in 2003
Berge Stahl: Launched in 1986, scrapped in 2021
USS Enterprise (CVN 65): Launched 1960, scrapping to begin in 2025
USS Enterprise (CVN 80): Planned launch 2025
Freedom Of The Seas: Launched in 2006
Queen Mary: Launched in 1936, turned into a hotel in 1967
Voyager Of The Seas: Launched in 1998
Titanic: Launched in 1912, sunk on her maiden voyage
Britannic: Launched in 1914, sunk by a mine in 1916
Yamato: Launched in 1940, sunk 1945
Bismarck: Launched in 1939, scuttled in 1941
Typhon (Typhoon / Akula): First one built in 1976, last one decommissioned in 2023

I’m gonna say…

that I’m going with…

Number 4. They’re throwing us off by putting it upside down…
But the X shape in the back … that’s the back, right? … is backwards to the others.

If you turned that board the same direction as the rest, you’d see that it’s the only one on which the longest crossbar(?) of the X reaches higher on the left side

I’m picking same, but for a different reason:
The binding are reversed. I wouldn’t know which is which, but they are left hand and right hand boards with #4 being odd man-out.

A sign in a hotel room warns the occupant that snoring is forbidden. California, 1926.

Cruel.

Also, I can testify that most people who snore have no idea they do, unless told by someone who heard it.

You don’t usually hear your own snoring.

I dunno what the sheep illustration is supposed to mean….

But apparently, a cruise ship docked, and all these robotaxis were called, at the same time, or one after another.

They’re not able to be parked in the order they’ll be needed, cos nobody knows… It’s all done by computer, but that doesn’t mean there’s a record of the parking spaces and they’ll be assigned accordingly.

Because they stop when they sense other vehicles, and don’t know the others are all part of their fleet, it gets crazy in the parking lot.

I didn’t see anything about why the ones parked nearest the street circle the lot before heading out.
