Mini Challenge #710 Unusual Photos of anything!

An homage to a famous work of French literature by the same name which immortalizes the novel’s tragic finale wherein a man with the ability to phase through walls finds himself caught in mid-pass after a streak of roguish shenanigans.

Here's one from my trip.

All good, thank you David. And Erik is brilliant and here is a recent pic of Eszti, who will be 14 in a couple of weeks. I love seeing her/them having fun.

I want my eleven, twelve year old puppy to do that. I've literally spoiled him. This morning, I even (even, is a well used term around teenagers, today, I'm playing that part) walked across my yard, through the dirt alley, unto my neighbor's gate. Puppy was there. Times like these, we call him "Traitor Dog."

He won't chase tennis balls anymore. And, neither can I.

What shall I do? (I just read Slate sex discussions, so I'm all ears.). TraitorDog also won't laugh at my jokes; HELP!

David, I get what you're saying, or is it I don't get what you're saying.

Feet per second per second is acceleration, not speed. My physics is perhaps better than a middle schooler, but probably not by much.

Thanks for the response.

¡ Oooo ! What conundrums we weave! Why waffle? Because, the troughs carry more syrup? No, because, a waffle hole, is the shape that a Black Hole achieves, immediately before the forces turn chaotic. Then they slowly (blink of an eye really) achieve equilibrium and settle down into expelling atoms in very fancy ways.

I suggest Stephen Hawking's series of books. Or, Kip Thorne's equally engrossing books. They are not cheap, but, provide. hours of mind bending theories. I live over the edge from Los Alamos, so I buy a lot ideas that end up in a rummage sale. For example, I found a very good copy of Allan Sandage's THE HUBBLE ATLAS OF GALAXIES: 1961; Carnegie Inst. of Washington, D.C.

If all else fails; Star Trek, ooooTub.

Of course !!!!! Acceleration. How could I forget? I'm surrounded by grandkids today.

Look, Kit;

We are old. We got to get into space to save our aging, at least until it . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . nooooooo . . . . . . nnooo . . . n. o . . on . . .Ah Oh

Spaghettied;

A black hole will "spaghetti". you.

Later

If you say so David, but I don't think it is unusual???

What? Unusual would be if he were to pop up with a trophy trout. I once hid from a bully on the top branch of that cottonwood tree. Unfortunately, his siblings caught up with me and coated me with poison ivy. Everything swelled, everything. What goes around, comes around, they must have sprouted blisters everywhere.

I used my jackknife a lot on little bullies; ate the by-product also.

David's Balú-dog. They are either deaf or Baloo has selective hearing.



It being my weekly turn to "walk the water," I've only a dream to go fishing. Have you ever drowned your fishing worms in tobacco juice?

I said "I do." Look what it got me.

BalooDog and I had been hiking all day. No water bottles. Cuz, we went to a stream. Hot water, much sand. Only horses will drink it. It was a long mile back home until the farm ditch, acequia, old Arabic word (Spaniards laid that language on us.). Baloo ran down the ridge, with me hot on the trail, chasing him cuz they had my hat in their mouth. ^%$%#^*%&^)(*&

STOP, CRAZY PUPPY, STOP. (I read my "Spot, see Spot run; %&&(*)

I got my hat back, however, Spot, I mean Baloo beat me into the swimming hole. I learned the Dog Paddle in that watercress laden water.

There's much more to be said about ditches, I mean dishes.

Well, If you say so, David

OF COURSE, I say so. It don't make me an expert, anyway. When I take folks on a tour, we sometimes run across a fifty pound block of salt; mmmm, tried it. Got down on all floors and tasted the rage among cows. Now, I understand.

I prefer a grain of salt. Think of that famous lady in the religious stories. Don't look now. No more salt. Except on the egg yolk. It's a must. Egg. yolk and avocado; mix-mix.

Did the smoke from Canada, er, "Cañada," appear this color in New York City? BTW; I cheat. The country by that name is "Canadá, in the Iberians' language. Most of the descendants of the Bering Straight grandmothers migrated to South America. They are now returning.

My apologies, please.

Upstate NY is even better for my question. What did you see recently? Did you go outside, upon hearing the news about Canada burning? What did you observe?

Make an observation; measure it, gather the evidence. I am gathering the evidence and I'd appreciate it if you could act as one of my scientific observers, seeing as. how on account of because I can't devine this things.

I know that you are intimating that this photo could be the wall hanger if I changed the competition. Nope.

. . . Move on!

Let's bury this ghost. Start showing it in Kindergarten. Then, let's listen to the drums that they will pick up and make sweat dance music. Have you ever heard the drums at Walpi, on First Mesa. The rhythm begins in the soul. The dance continues at home.





How about it? If you beat the drum, one has to dress the part. You have to build the part. You have to reverse engineer the characters. You have to get down on the ground and take the picture.

How else do you think that I found my way into the Smithsonian Magazine? I picked. up a camera and took a selfie.

It's not weird. It's not strange. It's home. In my home, we don't have a royal purchase on religion, yet, we are eclectic. That is why these boys speak Spanish and Tewa.

Get with; CRT or nothing. Cathode Ray Tubes.

Make an astute observation and tell me why that statue, er, "bulto/Ghost", is offensive to my grandchildren. In my classes, I would rule; "Keep your hands, feet, objects, AND, derisive comments to. yourselves." I fixed rewards and negative consequences to violators.

Kids thrive when adults establish parameters. These kids are practicing Maslow's "actualization." They role-play. That's a brain at work.

CRT

Well that is different!

David, your rummage sales are much better than ours. Like, Honey, do We need more placemats?

Rocket powered toilet anyone? Powered on kerosene with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizer. The loudest noise I ever heard....



Nick

That is the craziest thing I ever saw!

Good one, Nick

The Porter Sculpture garden is nothing if not unusual.







This would be considered unusual (and scary) in the US. Apparently not in Central America



Unusual definition of "trailer queen"



Nick

[No message]

All Good examples Nick

I like the 1st one best

I took these on Wednesday at the Heathrow Airport. Sorry for the poor quality, I used my phone.

I have no idea why the dude is wearing a bunny suit and being led around on a leash.







And there were two dudes wearing red dresses and wearing heels.
