Comb Wash is a valley in southeastern Utah, in San Juan County. It runs from Elk Ridge in the north approximately 35 miles (56 km) to the south, where it merges with the San Juan River at an elevation of about 4200 feet (1280 m). The eastern edge of the wash forms steep cliffs of Navajo Sandstone, rising in places to 1000 feet (300 m) above the valley floor.
On the western edge of Comb Wash is a series of canyons draining Cedar Mesa. To the north is Arch Canyon, which has Texas Canyon as an upper tributary. In the central section are Mule Canyon, Dry Wash, and the combined outlet of Fish and Owl Canyons. To the south are McCloyd's Canyon (containing the Moon House ruin) and Road Canyon. Scattered throughout these canyons are cliff dwellings of the Ancestral Puebloans.
State Route 95 crosses the northern part of Comb Wash, while U.S. Route 163 crosses further south. Running along the wash is a primitive road, often impassable after floods. Nearby are the Natural Bridges National Monument, the Grand Gulch Primitive Area, the Valley of the Gods scenic area, and Goosenecks State Park.

Handy Fact: This comb actually has a razor in it and people always ALWAYS use it by accident at parties
Looks like the creature from The Abyss.This is no accident; I am told the creature was in fact modeled on this species of comb jelly.
Comb Jelly spreads out to dine- As this comb jelly drifts on the currents, it spreads two broad lobes out like nets to catch food, tiny prey sltick to the lobes, like flies to a spider's web. Then the food's swept by fine, little hairs toward the center to the comb jelly's waiting mouth.
The knob-billed duck, or comb duck, is an unusual, pan-tropical duck, found in tropical wetlands in sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar and south Asia from Pakistan to Laos and extreme southern China.

Combs church wasn't open on the Wednesday that I visited. There was a phone number listed, but I was a bit pushed for time and was keen to get to Badley, which I hadn't visited before. So I had to make do. Combs sits on its own in fields south of Stowmarket. The church is quite large, and the setting is enjoyable, on a slight rise backed by trees. The tower is Decorated, as is the chancel. The rest of the church is Perpendicular.

Combs, known as Kushi (櫛), are one of the most iconic types of Japanese hair ornaments. Their use hit an all-time high during the Edo Period (1603-1868) when the merchants, who held the most wealth but were extremely restricted in what they could wear by the government, found loopholes in the laws that allowed them to wear only a single comb, but they would have them made by famous artisans from the most expensive woods and tortoise shells. The wives of merchants competed to see who could have the most chic comb, which usually came down to shape and material. Since those laws have been lifted we now can appreciate combs being made from almost any material imaginable, with many new ones being made from resin instead of tortoise shell as the sale of tortoise shell is now highly restricted. The majority of the combs seen here are made from various woods, but most contain real gold paint known as Makie (蒔絵) and even inlaid seashells.
The peony one was actually a surprise gift for a friend ^^

I spotted this British birch plywood jigsaw on eBay and, having never heard of the maker, PG Puzzles, was intrigued enough to make an offer for it. It seems that PG Puzzles was a shortlived venture from Gee Graphite Ltd, a water jet cutting business who still operate from the same address.
Similar packaging to earlier Wentworths, a similar cutting style, whimsies and a cotton drawstring bag; the only obvious difference is the use of water jet technology and thus the lack of burn marks. I found the glossy surface image has a tendency to lift a little at the cut edges so I may have to do a few running repairs in future. Pleasingly snug-fitting pieces - something Wentworth would do well to take note of!
The enclosed leaflet promised more designs in future but they must be thin on the ground as I've never seen any - yet.
