An alert about the risk of drowning at Camino La Llorona seems a bit on the nose… #SantaFe #NewMexico

An official text alert: “AlertSantaFe: Urgent Message- Cañada Village Road at Camino La Llorona is currently CLOSED due to flowing water making the roadway impassable. DO NOT attempt to cross the flowing water or drive around barricades. Please avoid the area and use an alternate route until conditions improve and the roadway can be safely reopened.
TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN.”

I have a thing for ARCs, collect them where I can; not sure I've seen anything that was this "advance" before. Badly water damaged and came from a Little Free Library, so it'll be going back there.

🦆 Ay up, duck! These 1960s vehicles are Alvis Stalwart, left abandoned in the forest somewhere in Scotland. British soldiers nicknamed them the Stolly. These 6x6 high-mobility transports are amphibious; they run on land and float in water. Two vector-thrust […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Four cartoons from the book...

A view of the International Space Station floating in the stars above the earth. A cat in a space suit floats outside. An astronaut within the station looks out of a window and says "In? But I just let you out." Text underneath reads: From 'Physics for Cats' by Tom Gauld - Order it at www.tomgauld.com

Panel one, labelled "School Parents' Night": a girland her parents sit sadly in front of a teacher who is holding up the girl's grade, an "F".
Panel two, labelled "Astronomy Conference": the same girl, now an adult, is being awarded a medal by a professor. The teacher and the professor share a speech bubble which crosses both panels saying "This is for spending all your time staring into space"

Image: A scientist stands at the crossroads at midnight, he holds out a bowl to the devil who looks rather cross. Caption "Thanks to a typo in the contract, the professor gained complete mastery of all the knowledge in the heavens and the earth, in exchange for his soup." Text underneath reads: From 'Physics for Cats' by Tom Gauld - Order it at www.tomgauld.com

Title: Soren Kierkegaard, 1843 Image: A three panel comic strip that shows Mr Kierkegaard saying "Life can only be understood backwards" as he walks from right to left through the three frames (i.e. against the usual order in which these panels would be read) A dog walks from left to right, saying: "But it must be lived forward".
