    I can't be positive, but I think she was giving me dirty looks in the rearview for the violation. I was gonna back up, but then I didn't have a sign like this.

    Great pictures on this thread.

    With the NFL Draft going on, I found where these guys worked prior to servicing turntables:

    They were released after the NFC Championship Game:

    our son the mathematician sent me this link to a presentation illustrating the fun of using statistics to describe sets of data. This illustrates something I tell folks all the time; always look at your data; don't just accept the word of a statistics package (or stats from Excel) :)

    All of these datasets have the same set of summary statistics.
    Gotta love that.

    I was, of course, using that time-honored riddle to illuminate the blazing importance of the incandescent Mr. lightman1's brilliant vocation.

    Bonus brownie points to anyone who knows the literary reference that features the aforementioned riddle/joke ;)

    I was thinking of Tennesee Williams' The Glass Menagerie (FWIW).

    I absolutely don't doubt you -- although I have to admit, with great chagrin, that I don't remember.
    I read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in high school... although come to think of it, I read The Glass Menagerie in high school too. Maybe I remember the latter a little better because we also staged it as part of the class :|

    I'm a former professor of English who has read both Huck Finn and Glass Menagerie several times -- albeit not for decades.

    I don't remember the joke or allusion thereto in either of them. :(

    Offhand, I can only cite Menagerie.
    It's the scene where -- the lights go out :)
    See the link I posted earlier. No idea why I remember it so vividly, though.
    I do remember that I really did like the play (although I am largely lukewarm on Williams).

    @mhardy6647,

    I was just lamenting my apparent memory problems. I can only say the brain cells used to retain info much better.

    C'est la vie!

    Not a pretty day for it, but I just saw the first scarlet tanager of the year... and happened to have the camera reasonably nearby.
