from Wikipedia:
Machapuchare or Machhapuchhre (माछापुछ्रे) Lit. "Fish Tail" in English, is a mountain in the Annapurna Himal of north central Nepal. It is revered by the local population as particularly sacred to the god Shiva, and hence is off limits to climbing.
Machapuchare has never been climbed to its summit. The only attempt was in 1957 by a British team led by Jimmy Roberts. Climbers Wilfrid Noyce and A. D. M. Cox climbed to within 50 m of the summit via the north ridge, but did not complete the ascent; they had promised not to set foot on the actual summit. Since then, the mountain has been declared sacred, and it is now forbidden to climbers.
Just as Julie's Snack Bar on Dovercourt Road kept a previous owner's Coca-Cola signage, here on Claremont Street we find another.
While this property had been a grocery store for decades, it now seems to be either a professional concern or a residential space.
Still, the frontage retains the 1958 Coca-Cola Arciform or "Fish Tail" sign containing the previous business name.
The grocery first opened in 1919 by one Louis Cohen and by the time Miguel Melo took over the business in 1967, this store had only three previous owners.

I forgot my flashdrive at home today and needed something to work on, so I re-edited this. I love it sooo much.
When the golden rays of the setting sun brisk on the mountain - the mountain speaks up of her solitude....
Fishtail Mountain.
The light didn't always want to cooperate with us on our first few days in Nepal, but every now and then the clouds parted and gave us a glimpse of the mountains.

These fans just opened in the past day or two. This is one of the few palmeras that is happy with our soils and climate. It is about 25 feet tall and is right near the front door to our house.
The Caryota urens L. (1753) is native to India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Malaysia, where it grows in humid forests at low altitude. The name of the genus is the Latin one, of Greek derivation, with which the fruit of the palm was designated.
The Latin epithet of the species, "urens" = stinging, refers to the irritant properties of the pulp of the fruit, due to the presence of oxalic acid. The names with which it’s commonly known refer both to the particular shape of the leaves, and the alimentary utilization of sap and pith: "fishtail palm", "jaggery palm", "kitul-tree", "sago palm", "solitary fishtail palm", "toddy palm", "wine palm" (English); "caryot brûlant", "palmier celery", "palmier queue de poisson" (French); "Fischschwanzpalme", "Kitulpalme" "German); "palmera de sagu" (Spanish); "palmeira-rabo-de-peixe", "palmeira-toddy" (Portuguese).
It presents a solitary trunk, tall even more than 20 metres, and of about 30 cm of diameter, of green colour, covered by a white tomentum, with spaced rings, traces of the petioles of the fallen down leaves.
The leaves are bipinnate, long up to about 5 metres, and wide more than 3, with conical leaflets, jagged and laciniated on the upper edge, vaguely resembling to a fish tail. Monocarpic plant, (it bears fruits only after having reached the maximum size, and then passes away).
It produces pendent inflorescences very ramified, carrying flowers of both sexes. The flowering begins from the top, and then goes on, in subsequent times, towards the bottom. When the lowest inflorescence has ripened its fruits, the plant dies, this happens when the plant is about 25-30 years old. The fruits of Caryota urens are globose, of about 2 cm, reddish-brown when ripe and must be handled with care, because of the presence of oxalic acid in the pulp.
Native populations collect, tapping the floral peduncle, the sap, very sweet, to produce sugar, or, after fermentation, an alcoholic beverage (toddy). Moreover, the central part of the trunk, rich of starch (sago), is utilized as nourishment.
In spite of the rather brief vital cycle, this palm is widely utilized as ornamental plant in the tropical, subtropical and also warm temperate climate countries, in full sun and well drained soils, where it resists to temperatures up to about -3°C.
Granpa's Fish Tale
Watt always enjoyed the outdoors both at work and at play over many of his ninety years as long as he was able to get about. He worked the oil fields of Wirt County for South Penn Oil Company, farmed in Brohard, West Virginia, hunted in the woods of Ritchie County, and fished in the waters of Hughes and Little Kanawha rivers to name a few. Even when away from the farm, while sometimes wintering in Florida after retirement in the 1960s, he always managed to have a little garden and also do a little fishing in nearby Lake Okeechobee.
Although my first squirrel hunting trip in the late '50s was a memorable experience with grandpa and my father, there was one fishing trip that stands out. Grandpa's telling of numerous fishing stories was a frequent after-dinner entertainment in the wintertime while grandma cleared the dishes from the table with assistance of my mother. Sitting in his old, straight-backed rocking-chair next to my dad, grandpa would tell of his many outdoor adventures. Listening intently were my brother and myself setting cross-legged on the dining room floor of the Victorian farmhouse in front of the big, black gas heater with blue flames blazing on the glowing hot grates. Nobody seemed to grow tired of any repetition, since embellishment was often the rule in the retelling over time.
In a most solemn manner, grandpa told of a particularly disastrous fishing trip with his fishing buddies that was fraught with both bad weather and bad luck as far as the catch was concerned. Having spent the early hours of an overcast and chilly spring morning fishing on the river, the crew turned their rowboat back to the shore with their disappointingly meagre catch of nothing but carp, which seemed hardly worth the effort nor bait they used. Once back to camp, the group would have been faced with an empty frying pan if the fish were to be thrown back, as was suggested by the majority, were it not for grandpa's hinting of his knowledge of an old but little known recipe for preparing such unsavory fish.
Grandpa set each of the company busily to their appointed tasks. One gutted the fish, while another felled a sizable oak tree and split a short length of the trunk into crude, squarish planks upon which all of the filets would fit. Someone whittled a few of the green twigs into short, sharpened pegs, with which to fasten the filets to the planks. It is to be noted, that by way of substitution, a seasoned oak board that has been soaked in water awhile may be used in lieu of freshly hewed oak, however this recipe variant has not been verified by the author. The remainder of the men gathered firewood, preferably hickory, from the rough. A rectangular, shallow pit was dug along the direction of the prevailing wind and a fine fire was built therein and allowed to burn down. When the resulting hot coals were just right, they were carefully banked to each side of the pit. The previously prepared fish were arranged in the center of the pit and along with some whole Irish potatoes, then sprinkled with coarse salt to taste and finally all was covered with the glowing embers. After sufficient cooking time, the remnant hot ashes were raked aside to reveal the resultant feast for a hungry bunch of fishermen. Grandpa, in his wisdom, said just to throw away the fish and eat the boards!

Braids have cemented themselves into our hairstyle repertoires much like the ponytail – we all learn from a young age how to do a simple braid, and if you're lucky, how to do a more complex one. The fishtail braid has gained quite a following in recent years (and runway seasons) and we're now seeing...
