With outdoor photography, you can only plan. What you get is completely at the whim of Mother Nature. We were staying with a friend about 20 min from Peggy's Cove, NS. We wanted sunrise images at Peggy's Cove, so got up before sunrise, left under clear skies, and drove into fog so thick we could barely see. Peggy's Cove was a whiteout. But we wandered about and after sunrise, the fog began to lift. We didn't get magic light, but magic was still there.

People have been waiting 7 months to get their electric wheelchair fixed, because the manufacturers insist on controlling and profiting from the repair process:

My 7 year old dashed into my room to ask, "what are those things called that chop people's heads off???"

I told her "guillotine."

After she ran off, I heard a distant "hey Alexa!" and made a mental note to follow up.

Turns out she asked Alexa what a guillotine looked like so she could build one.

At school.

During 1st grade art class.

It’s been a long and rather fraught week but I had a constructive evening at the #allotment

A new road bridge got opened in December in a small town somewhere in Poland. For six months it was being used by regular traffic.

Elections are coming, though, so the Polish PM decided he needs to officially open it, with media present and all. And so, we get to behold this absolute gem — an announcement from the local municipality saying that:

> On May 18th, 2023, between 10:00 and 19:00, the bridge in [location] will be closed due to its opening.

Strong @scarfolk vibes.

Going through airport security, and the scanners have the manufacturer's logo printed all over them

It's useful, because now whenever I find myself needing a multi-ton conveyer belt x-ray machine that operates at an industrial capacity, I'll know where to look

@szescstopni nie mogę znaleźć, ale widziałem kiedyś obrazek z dwiema cyjanobakteriami podpisany "normalna rodzina - sinic i sinina". tak mi się jakoś przypomniało.

Okay, I've translated all 11 pages of the original Franck-Hertz experiment paper from German to English! Now I can blog about it, finally.

Why work up elaborate stories about aliens when Holcocephala robber flies are right here on earth?

(From the Ecuadorian cloud forests near Mindo).

Just had a whistle war with a mockingbird. He won.
