“A curved line has fundamental properties distinct from a straight one. Just as there is no way you can get to extension in space or duration in time by the amassing of infinitesimal points or slices, there is no way you can get to a curve using straight lines: you can approximate it with evermore #tangents but never actually achieve a curve.”

Summer Tanager
Large tanager with a hefty bill. Adult males are completely red; immature males are dull yellow-olive with blotchy patches of red. Females are variable in color, ranging from pale dull yellow to brighter orange. Can be confused with female Scarlet Tanager; Summer has a longer, paler bill and less contrast between wing and body color. Also compare with dustier-looking, stouter-billed Hepatic Tanager. Breeds in mature forests, favoring mixed deciduous and pine in the southeastern U.S. and riparian corridors in the western U.S. and northern Mexico. Extensive winter range from Mexico to Bolivia, where it can be found in any wooded area. Often gives a short, descending rattle “pit-a-tuck.

In 1987 Ronald Reagan held a televised press conference where he held up a P3-C Orion antisubmarine aircraft toilet seat and said: "We didn't buy any $600 toilet seat. We bought a $600 molded plastic cover for the entire toilet system."
Now I wish I had one of those $600 molded plastic covers for my toilet system. The cheap one I had just broke.
