Not like that at your house?
Kinda surprised, although I know we were s'posed to get more than "West of the Greens".

It's 50F here with just a little hint of rain, as it were. -
I think we're way past even insinuation of rain, here

A vague murmur of droplets? -

I was gonna guess Skeeter Davis, but I have been known to be wrong (that one time in 1978). -
heck, or Annie Lennox, for that matter.

On topic -- call me old fashioned, but I just don't think it's a good idea for aircraft designers to drop acid before... you know... designing aircraft.

^^^ Makes a Cessna Mixmaster Skymaster look positively ordinary.

... or maybe (maybe) even a Britten-Norman Trislander.
Note the little face motif on the plane's nose.

Nothing ordinary about the Skymaster in this movie. One of the best Vietnam flicks. Have seen it many times.
One of my friends owned one back in the 80's. The front engine went out on the plane over Tennessee but the little rear one saved him. He was actually a professional musician, and took his Bass to work in his small planes as a hobby over the years.

Seen this week. Still working 1952 Hotpoint electric water heater. Crazy!

^^^^did you pin your Geiger Counter next to that thing?Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

^^^^ never thought of that! My brother has one, but he's in Maryland. It also has a well, but has been on city water for probably 60 years. Owner knew nothing about this old disconnected well in the basement.

That's a great grey owl. If memory serves, it's the largest North American owl (at least continental US).
We had one nearby in Hanover, NH a few years back -- Mrs. H and a friend tromped through a swamp at dusk on a chilly fall evening (I think it was 2014) to see it -- which they did.
Usually they're in MN and WI.

As seen Someplace Else on the internet.
In case it's not obvious, that's a Schiit Loki equalizer/tone control thingy.
The only thing missing is some clip leads.

POST-QUARANTINE "FIRST DAY" BACK IN SCHOOL FOR FIRST GRADERS
-
From Facebook. "Splendid Fairywren (Malurus splendens) in Australia by Terry Booth." -
Whoa.
Imma ask Mrs. H if she saw one of those when she was birding in Australia some years back. She's on the phone at the moment, tho'.
-
It looks different, bigger in these images.

Heh, I texted Mrs. H (she's still on the phone) & asked if she saw one. Her reply.I believe so
?!
-
So -- Mrs. H just went back and checked her records. She saw a superb fairywren, but not a splendid fairywren. Apparently, she'd have had to have gone (how's that for a tense?) further inland to see the splendid one.
not her photo -- source: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superb_fairy-wren#/media/File:Male_and_female_superb_fairy_wren.jpg
Superb, but not nearly as splendid.
