Old Friends and Half-Moon Cookies

A few months ago my friends Mitch and Paul were in San Francisco for a vacation and John and I drove up to have lunch with them. We laughed through the entire lunch of course, although we all managed to eat without choking too, which was a good thing. *grin* Anyway, they also brought a dozen half-moon cookies all the way from Upstate New York, for which they deserve our eternal worship and adoration. (They are called ‘black and whites’ in New York City. For those of you who may not be familiar with them, they are a large cake-like cookie frosted with half-vanilla and half-chocolate icing.) Anyway, after the visit I made this goofy watercolor postcard as a thank you note for them and am posting it here (finally – took me long enough!) to also thank them as a matter of public record – heh:

UFO Sighting!

I was going through some older digital photos this morning and came across an image of a decrepit old barn that was a bit overexposed. The barn is neat, but the weird part is what’s to the top left of the barn in that circle I added – a genuinely unidentified flying object! It’s pretty much as indistinguishable as most UFO or flying saucer photos you may see on the web, but having taken the photo myself, I certainly know it’s not altered.

I didn’t notice anything at the time I was taking the photo, and there could be many rational explanations of course, but it’s still pretty weird! (There were power lines in the photo that were bleached out by the overexposure, but I looked really closely and they weren’t near this object.)

And here’s a cropped closeup of the unidentified object. Doesn’t it look like a long sleek flying saucer shape might look from the side with a slight bulge in the middle? Doesn’t it also look like just a long blue-grey streak? *grin*

Anyway, that’s today’s fun with photography!

Tuesday’s Topic: Outer Space

A friend of mine is hosting a weekly ‘topic’ idea for blogs – thanks, Jen! Since this week’s topic is Outer Space, I thought I’d pass along a neat tidbit – apparently, a solar wind stream hit Earth yesterday morning, sparking a geomagnetic storm, and some auroras were seen! Spaceweather.com has a nice little gallery of Aurora Photos from yesterday for your viewing pleasure too – go now and see!

Tshirt University

I’ve been so busy working on my latest tshirt project that I keep forgetting to stop and post about it – oops. Anyway, it’s called Tshirt University and it’s full of designs that are spoofs of university type gear. We’ve already sold a number of Ice Cream University products, and Robot University. Oh, and Duct Tape University! You get the idea – stop by if you feel like browsing.

Laughing Flies

Flies must just laugh at us when we try to swat them. As fast as we are, they still just casually shoot out of the way, making it seem like they have one wing tied behind their back. I think they are probably secretly videotaping us stupid, slow humans, and having film festivals where they vote for the most pathetic attempts. Winner gets a pile of fresh garbage.
