@danmccullough Bear wife: I've seen reports that feeders are being taken down. Time to get a last snack.

Bear husband: OK, we'll do it on Monday.

Bear wife: That's EXACTLY what you said last year. And when did the feeder get taken down?

Bear husband: Errr... Monday?

Bear wife: No, it was Sunday. We barely had time to get our snack.

Bear husband: OK fine, I'll go on Saturday.

Bear wife: Just don't be late.

River otters have staged a remarkable comeback across North America’s Great Lakes after disappearing from many waterways by the 1970s. Reintroductions beginning in the 1980s, combined with wetland restoration and pollution controls under the 1972 US–Canada Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, have allowed breeding populations to recover across Ohio, New York, Ontario and beyond.

I had an idea for a style of poetry that is (hopefully) kind of unique to Shavian.

Since so many of the letters become other letters when rotated, you just keep matching a word with its rotated pair in each line. And, since there's usually a phonetic relationship between those letters, it kind of sounds "right" somehow too.

“Weitwinklig verzerrt” / Wide-angle distortion

A surreal scene at the Brooklyn waterfront a few weeks ago. Some weather phenomenon caused a straight-edged mass of clouds to vault over Manhattan and frame it in a perfect arc of clear blue sky, stretching horizon to horizon. The only way I could capture it was with a slightly distorted panorama shot (tap image for full view).

Roll 1969park05: Berkeley (May 30, 1969)

This panorama was taken on 12 frames stitched together in Photoshop. The fact that I took the set as a panorama and then held on to the negatives for half a century until technology made it possible to render this image is so cool that I'm just going to leave this out here by itself for a day to let you all dig it.
