2004 was 22 years ago.

I didn’t find a dated picture of the same view, but from what I read, I can say with some certainly that it’s not getting better.

Probably just accustomed to it being closed.

I think some cats are just not super good with glass.

I knew one who constantly ran into a sliding glass door, even after they tried putting butterfly decals on it.

And I had a kitten who tried to grab things from the underside of a glass topped coffee table… though she did grow out of it.

I’ve looked at this several times, and now I’m up past my bedtime…
so I’ll post what I’ve found.

I can only say that MAYBE it’s the solution, or maybe somebody else will do better.

I’ve found three bears, plus two things they may be calling bears, but I wouldn’t.

Here’s what I’ve got….
Three bears, circled in yellow. Circled in purple are a paw print, which might be a bear print but not a bear…. and… I don’t know what. Maybe a bird, with its head, showing an eye and a beak, on the left. What would you call it?

Oh! I just looked again at the mystery object I thought was maybe a bird.

By enlarging it, turning it sideways, and squinting, in the light of day, I can see a bear.

So I have four bears… and something bear-adjacent.

I’m thinking that’s probably their solution.

That helps…. I haven’t found a way to do that on my tablet.

I used to use a free photo editing website to do the things my android software wouldn’t… but it disappeared.

I don’t know if this works on an android tablet, it did on WINDOWS, and on my MAC.
LunaPic
It has a lot of photo editing options on it.
Link on my MAC:
https://www5.lunapic.com/editor/

What I used today was “Preview”, it is a resident program on my MAC.
On my I-Pad, when I pull up a photo, I can edit by clicking on the three horizontal bars (with tiny circles) at the top.

She was a lady of the evening, in the 1870s, when many men appreciated a “fine figure of a woman.”

She worked in a brothel, where she posed like this to show off her… considerable assets…. and acquired the nickname “Tea Cup Sallie.”

Apparently the more serious sand sculpture contests either supply or allow different sand from what’s on the beach.

It’s quarried, with a rougher texture, as beach sand particles are worn rounded by the water, so they slip.

In some contests they’re allowed to add a certain amount of silt, which helps it pack tighter, or even water based glue… or spray it with a light glue mixture on the outside.

None of that is enough to make it solid or hard, or keep it from falling apart or collapsing, but it does help with the surface, and protects it from fog or very light rain.

And if it’s not a contest, but a professional sand sculptor, like the one who came to my county fair a few years ago, they can do almost anything they want to it, as long as people will buy that it’s sand.

Some of them mix glue/water and spray it on as they go to solidify the sculpture, although that is not acceptable in competitions.

You’d wriggle too, if the pointy ends of a pair of chopsticks were headed in your direction.

Actually, though… I’m thinking they can’t eat from a plate or a bowl.

Took me a minute to realize they’re all underwater, so they can’t open the helmets… but they must have a port for a straw, with a valve.

What’s with all the fighting and police in the Bill Haley video? I know he was a stark raving looney IRL, but he doesn’t appear to be involved at all.

Sorry… Meant to say this earlier:

The first, or maybe one of the first, rock concerts in Germany.

Even though it was West Germany, it was considered subversive, dangerous, American music.

Police were sent in advance, to keep the audience in in their seats, prevent them from moving forward and crowding around the stage, dancing in the aisles, and other rowdy behavior…

But it angered them, and actually started a riot.
