You may enjoy a visit to Kodachrome Basin State Park in Utah to see their petrified geysers.

Sometimes a petrified geyser is only a petrified geyser. Photo of an extremely phallic petrified geyser rising prominently againsta blue sky background over snow covered ground dotted with trees and shrubs at Kodachrome Basin State Park in Utah.

Obligatory:

Diagram of a moray eel showing the pharyngeal jaw in the retracted position. There are also a series of posts reading:

“When an eel has a maw with a pharyngeal jaw, that’s a moray.

“When the jaws open wide and there’s more jaws inside, that’s a moray.

“When it sulks in a reef and has two sets of teeth, that’s a moray.

“When an eel bites your thigh and you bleed out and die, that’s a moray.“

Put the hoverbin back on the hoverbarn.

Picture of a potato sorting shed that looks like a dilapidated barn made of corrugated metal hovering over a field. The sky is gray-blue, the grass is green and the hover barn is rust brown.

The 7-Up Uncle Sam pyramid

A pyramid of 50 7-Up cans from 1976. One collectible can for each US state. On the back of each can is a fragment of an image. When ordered correctly as here, the entire image is revealed to be Uncle Sam. This was done for the bicentennial in 1976.

Astonishing example of the bookbinder's art: a copy of Moby Dick bound in white leather with gold embossed lettering. The whale's eye is an actual glass eye bulging from the cover and held in place by a slit patch of leather. It stares at the reader relentlessly. The cover around the eye is creased to give the suggestion of the whale's head. Unnerving. And delightful.

Reminds me of my favourite selfie: Ross Franquemont piloting the U-2 at 70,000 feet.

Selfie of Ross Franquemont piloting a U-2 Dragon Lady at about 70,000 feet. He is wearing an orange pressure suit and a helmet with a large visor in which the aurora borealis (mostly green) is reflected. The aurora is also visible to either side through the cockpit windows.

Although this photo is horrible, I’m happy to report that, thanks to Charles, I have 2 very nice Anna May Wong quarters for you. Just need to get your address and when I’m back home next week can mail them on to you.

An Anna May Wong quarter!
