I miss all my cats, especially the last, smallest, who sweetly slept at my feet.

Somehow, Scotland has managed to not descend into anarchy when animals (and significant Scottish women) were put on on RBS bank notes.

Almost the entirety of the A9 in Scotland is policed like this, from permanent, tall, yellow-painted, camera posts.

Based on Martin Rowson's graphic noir riff on it!

Cover of Martin Rowson's "The Waste Land", private detective Chris Marlowe is tasked with getting to the bottom of the most impenetrable of all modernist mysteries: namely T. S. Eliot's "The Wasteland". Cunningly contrived, this irreverent graphic parody is inspired in equal parts by the classic modernist poem and by the American noir novels of Raymond Chandler. Marlowe, searching for his dead partner's killers, is lured into a web of murder, deceit, lust, despair, and, of course, a frantic quest for the Holy Grail. Doped, duped, pistol-whipped, framed by the cops, and going nowhere fast, Marlowe enters a nightmare world where Robert Frost, Norman Mailer, and Edmund Wilson drink in the gloom of a London pub; where Auden is glimpsed entering the men's room; where Henry James, Aldous Huxley, and Richard Wagner share an ice cream aboard a Thames pleasure steamer; and where, out of luck and out of clues, Marlowe finally tracks down T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. Available again for the first time in a decade, this is an unforgettably strange trip through modern literature with one of Britain's best writers and illustrators.

At least in 1976 we got lots of pictures of dried cracking mud in reservoir bottoms.

The bottom of Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire's Upper Derwent Valley appeared cracked during the drought.

I had one of Dali's "Metamorphosis of Narcissus". In retrospect, you made the better choice.

Metamorphosis of Narcissus is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí, from 1937. Originally titled Métamorphose de Narcisse,[1] This painting is from Dalí's paranoiac-critical period and depicts his interpretation of the Greek myth of Narcissus.
