The fruit loop bird. Just follow your nose. I don't know what kind of toucan it is but I saw this at the last minute. I was surprised I even got the shot.
Meeting some co-workers that I have kept in touch since we went through leadership training in 2015.

trying out www.mturk.com/mturk - it seems to have mostly spammy things to do but I found a couple of word matching exercises (apparently for a research project but perhaps spam?) and transcribed a short mp3 - an interview with one of the design team architects of the World Trade Center in New York. I made $3 (very low hourly rate!!) and transferred this to my amazon account - gift certificate balance so I can use it for another book purchase. this worked ok, I now have $3 to spend.
the site has an interesting history - tinyurl.com/39wel5 - though seems to have been overtaken by spammers now who have HITs for spammy content. the site also seems to be targeted towards American and Indian workers as only US bank accounts can be used, and people in India can have checks raised in Rupees. though for other countries you can transfer the balance to your amazon gift voucher.
the idea of Human Intelligent agents is interesting - they call it Artificial Artificial Intelligence. it's a type of crowdsourcing - but not as we know it ! it reminds me of a science fiction novel - perhaps one of Neal Stephenson's. similar to the rentacoder or yourmaninindia sites or even craigslist.

In Amazon Chakra, farmers grow a wide variety of crops to support their food sovereignty. Farming, hunting, fishing and picking edible and non-edible products from the Amazon forest are part of the daily life of the local communities.

Painting after Margaret Mee (1909-1989) who spent her artistic life capturing the wonderful plants of the Amazon Rainforest.
DollTV on Amazon.com had some INCREDIBLE deals this year, so I saved up mah scratched and plunked it down. They were all free shipping if over $25, so score. All the five Neca Narnia statues (some HUGE) were only $7-$10 each, the Pink Floyd boxed set was $20 TOTAL for ALL 6 figs, and even better, it didn't show as a boxed set, only as 5 fig set, so the sixth 'boxed set exclusive' figure was a surprise!, Hitchikers Guide Jeltz & Kwaltz $5 and $13, Mole Man $5, Lost in Space Keeper 12" only $10, Neca Alien face hugger bust $12, and Muppets Swedish Chef santa only $4. Thankyou DollTV! [:D I'll be riding that high for years.
I originally had this doll ordered from Bentzen's Emporium in December, but this one along with three others never came. They still have my parent's money. And I'm still pissed as hell that nothing has been done about it.
That meant that I had to take my Project Mc2 search somewhere else. It's been very, very difficult to find the four I need to finish my collection, but at least I've got one less doll to worry about now. Amazon got in some of the Wave 4 McKeyla, so I ordered her pretty much right off the bat. They had Ember too but I already have her Wave 4 version. I'm looking for Bryden and Adrienne from the formal line, and the lilac-haired McKeyla from Wave 2. Preferably at a non-extortionate price.
She arrived today (Prime shipping for the win) and I'm glad that I finally have her.
(P.S. I also ordered something else from Amazon. I'll wait until I get it before I say what it is, but it's coming from Canada and should be with me by the end of the month...)

By local Auburn dentist, Kenneth H. Fox. He sculpted many large concrete statues like this throughout the town of Auburn, California. The nakedness of some have created controversy (like Prometheus), while others are an ode to the gold-mining era.
This particular statue is outside his dental office at 391 Auburn Ravine Road, along with a group of others.
