    Note the tails. :)

    Vultures soar on "V" wings and tend teeter as the-- these two's wings were broad and flat. In the sun, their white heads & tails were unmistakable. The birders can recognize 'em way off. "they look like flying ironing boards", say the birders -- their wings are long and the "chord" of their wings is deep.



    Plus, we saw them lower :p -- they'd just headed up quite a bit by the time I got back out with the camera.

    They're quite common along the Connecticut River, which is just a few miles from here by car -- but even closer as the crow eagle flies.

    Actually, turkey vultures are common here, too :)

    Nice. That’s why I tried to recant, zoomed in and noticed the tails. (:

    I actually worked with a guy with that name. I was fun to hear his name over the plant intercom, especially with the Southern accent common in NC.

    When I worked at a small biotech in Cambridge (a long time ago) our Hitachi sales rep was named Mike Hunt. I bought a pretty fancy spectrofluorimeter from him. I got a cool green Hitachi necktie with the two-letter atomic symbols for the elements embroidered on it*. Ahh, memories.

    __________
    * Still have the tie :p I used the shipping crate for the fluorimeter to make a compost bin when we lived in MA. It served well but ultimately composted itself.

    They didn’t even up the tile line on the column.

    I’d hate to drop the soap and have it end up in the living room...

    So, you swing around the support column to be able to start the water flowing? Or, do you climb over the end and get in the tub? Never mind how you clean that window on the right. What's the opposite of "ergonomically sound"?

    Carol Baskins had that made for her current hubby. There will be a custom shelf for a new 220v toaster installed next week.

    But clearly they are safety conscious, otherwise they wouldn't have installed that staircase hand rail on the right.
