the maples on my little one block street are the brightest red I've seen in the city. So spectacular when the sun shines through the leaves.

This year, the Federated States of Micronesia and Antigua & Barbuda got their first inscriptions on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

My mother was once scouted to be the next Margaret O'Brien while on a train ride. My grandmother declined. And her college roommate was Susan Clark (Webster).

I had a very good meal at this fast food salad place called Craft Salad.for 250 Philippine pesos (about 5 US dollars) I got a salad, soup and half a sandwich

Turkey burgers tonight. I need something simple.

Starbucks has come out with a Santa Hat Dark Mocha Frappucino

Even though it went unnoticed to the crew and audience, Lucille Ball almost died in front of all of them. The iconic grape-stomping scene is the scene that almost claimed the actress's life. She was choking on a grape but still continue to film the scene and it was not until after the scene was completed that anybody realized she was in desperate need of help

I lost my stress ball.

If you are a cat lover this will make sense to you.

As for dogs, just get some doggie treats.

I have always wondered why comics badguys are alway's pg 13 rated badguys.

I know for years that the comics code was a reason, but that's been dead for what... 20 years now?

I've been thinking about it and the story I would tell basically involves a "henchman" convicted when all he was was a hired guard from a legit security firm.

He goes to prison and bad things happen. He comes out, and systemically sets out to visit pain, horror, rape and death on the team that sent him up the river.

I think if I could write one sooooo horrible, maybe it would help end the neverending dark and depressing era.

I'd read that!

I have been noticing the use of double letters in Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, and I can’t unsee them.

01 Edward Bear, known to his friends as Winnie-the-Pooh, or Pooh for short, lived in the forest under the name of Sanders.

02 Piglet, who lived in a beech tree, had a grandfather named Trespassers William. At Kanga’s house, he was known as Henry Pootel.

03 Rabbit has seventeen Friends and Relations.

04 Owl (or Wol), who at first lived at The Chestnuts in the 100 Acre Wood, once had a bell-pull that turned out to be the tail of:

05 Eeyore, the old grey donkey.

06 Tiddley-pom.

07 Heffalumps and Woozles.

08 Kanga and Baby Roo.

09 Tigger says “Worraworraworraworra”.

10 Christopher Robin helped Pooh try to get Hunny from the Bees using a Balloon.

11 All from the pen of Alan Alexander Milne, known to his friends as A. A.

Yellow and white is a nice color combination.

"Bullwinkle, that trick NEVER works!"

For jfposey:

Did you know that there are trees on the Boston subway trains? Really. Well, they don't start out as trees, but as people. They board the train and then suddenly they become rooted to a spot. They won't move into the car when more people board. They won't temporarily exit the train to let other riders off. They won't even move a half an inch to let other people by.

Having observed this, my conclusion is that they have become trees and have extended roots into the floor of the train. I presume that the MBTA has people at the last station who dig them up.

Worse are the ones that are like Tolkien's Ents that lumber slowly down or up the stairs or through the tunnels because they cannot turn their heads away from their mobile devices. They crash into someone and do not utter a word of apology. Maybe if we set something like these out for them????

There are also the pedestrians who treat each street as a runway. Sometimes you have 2 or 3 walking alongside one another on a busy street, doing their best to exude glamour as they chat with one another, pinkies out, taking selfies...

I've been watching some of the 100 Greatest Looney Tunes, many of which I watched in my childhood.

Things get tense at the local mall when the Legion of Super-Heroes discover their credit card rewards are exempt from purchases made to the Toy Man.

California Santa and his sleigh

He's pretty yummy. Blaze and I approve.

We get some pretty interesting views over the frozen lake when the weather falls towards single digits. Blood red moonrise today.



Fata Morgana.

I'd looked out my window and saw a huge wall of ice on the horizon. This a few Winters ago. Called a friend who lives around the lake (Lake Erie) a bit and asked if he was seeing it. He said he was surprised I never seen one before, that the ice breaks and freezes, breaks and freeze.. and builds those walls. I didn't buy it (I've a background that includes a bit of optics) so I got to googling. Yep, there's a name for it.

Light houses MILES away look like they're down the block or little bumps in the ice become walls. Structures can be seen that are well below the Horizon. Have to see to believe.

A few years ago I went up the tallest mountain in Luzon, Mount Pulag. The weather was great and we were lucky enough to have a sea of clouds spreadin out before us. Imagine the sunrise slowly lighting up clouds all around...

Like so
