Someone gave someone on the grounds crew a reflective vest and broom and then, hilarity ensued.

Baltimore has a free circulator bus that takes one and all around downtown. One of the drivers is April Harrington, and she treats her passengers by singing popular songs as they scoot around the streets. A famous English singer, born Terence Parsons, did the same in postwar days, singing as he drove, until someone talked him into changing his name and making a record...and he sold millions of records under the name Matt Monro.

I don't know just where this trash can is, probably somewhere where bicycle riding is much more prevalent than it is here. The can is angled so that bike riders can drop their trash in it as they roll on by.

This guy (it has to be a guy!) loves his truck so much he carries a painting of it on the tailgate.

These strawberries are so big, they wouldn't do for shortcake...you'd have to have longcake.

These are egret nestlings in Florida. I give them a week before the governor down there finds something objectionable about them.

A formerly popular performer, whom I once held in high regard for his versatility and showmanship, has now decided to be one of those jerks who hates everything that's "woke." He was recently all worked up about the inclusivity slogans on a can of light beer. So, in the time honored fashion of American gunslingers, he bought two cases of Bud Light and shot at them. Since his career is in sad decline, let's just call him "Skid Rock."

As long as you had a job, I don't see what business it was of Wm. B. Wilson, who was the Secretary of Labor from 1913 to 1921, if you changed jobs. I know that used to be looked down upon, and people who went for better jobs or more pay were thought of as "flighty" and "unsettled" by people who seethed with jealousy as they sat and rued the chances they had let slip away. 

Lieutenant Broccoli, say hello to Sergeant Pepper, Corporal Punishment, and Major Disappointment.

I believe most nutritionists would recommend a well-balanced diet to get you through the day, rather than gobbling an Almond Joy for a quick lift. But dang, those Almond Joys are tasty, where butternut squash is not.
