It's no surprise that a LOT of my spare time in the military was spent writing hilariously evil mottos for medical teams, who knew most people wouldn't understand what their motto really said. My facts about waterwheels were handy for the Euphrates though, so that was nice.

There's a bit of sky to the right, though it's not the focus of my new favourite photo (shared by a redditor who witnessed the whimsical spectacle at our national Exhibition today, as described in the alt text!) Share the last photo of the sky in your camera roll, if you like.
To the right is a patchy of gray rainy sky but in the clear bit are two bagpipers in red tartan Scottish marching dress, sitting in a skychair travelling above the Canadian National Exhibition fair crowds, piping a tune as they drift toward the back of the big stadium which looms in the background at left.

When someone is too weak to withstand the screeching of their insecurities - especially when they know they have done absolutely nothing noteworthy or useful with their life - then they demand public praise for something they did nothing to earn. Skin colour is a popular choice for such Zeroes.

Elon Musk stands in front of a white canvas on an easel. The canvas says "new logo" with a big black X beneath. A young man says, "Elon! I'm loving the new logo!" Elon replies, "Huh? Oh, it's not finished yet." He pulls out a red marker and makes a few changes. "There!" he says happily and leaves, while the young man scratches his head in confusion - the black X now has red arms, so it looks looks like a swastika on the white canvas.
