Bonkers processed several different ways, (including with my BumpCam program), in the bedroom in Kitahiroshima in February of 2019.
ODC2 - Photoshop terms. This could be several, but I think Multiply and Layers are most appropriate. I had so many ideas for this subject, but I thought I needed to practice these.
From Left to Right:
# 1: I won't pose, I better check out the view
# 2: Hello you in the camera!
# 3: Am I the only one who cares?
# 4: Hey! there's something in your shoe!!
# 5: Come on! Look at the camera!
Mille volti di me, un gioco, un'immagine che si spezza su 2 specchi, ma sempre e comunque sulla stessa linea.
Toronto Animal Services' small animal room (where my daughter volunteers) is full to bursting at the moment. There are 10 rabbits who need homes, plus a guinea pig. This is especially bad because Easter (notorious for rabbit dumping in the aftermath) is next weekend! So we're assaulting you with cuteness.
Fred & George (above) have been at the shelter for SIX MONTHS. The poor brothers were abandoned in an apartment when their owners moved out. They are super-friendly and cuddly and are getting tired of being at the shelter.
You can't beat a fully functional $7 electric guitar. I dare you to try.

BACKSTORY: Got up around 7:15AM, made it out driving by 7:51 AM and went out until around 1:30PM for a total of 5 hours, 39 minutes. Spent $73.00 plus ~$7.98 gas for 41 miles of driving (15.1 mpg @ $2.94/G), for a total cost of $80.98. We drove to 64 yard sales, stopping at 22 (34%) of them. We made 49 purchases (50 items) for a total estimated value of $743.64, leading to a profit/savings of $662.66. So in essence, we multiplied our $80.98 investment by 9.18X. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $~755 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $662 in cash that we saved. How long does $662 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 5.65 hrs we spent here?) Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $117.29/hr as a couple or $58.64/hr per person.

Given the right conditions of water, sunlight and nutrients, cyanobacteria can multiply rapidly and form extensive “blooms.” Some species of cyanobacteria also have the ability to produce toxins that can affect the central nervous system, the liver, and other systems. When these species bloom and produce toxins, they create large areas of harmful algal blooms.
Dr. Seegers is part of a multi-agency effort which includes NASA, EPA, NOAA, and the USGS. The Cyanobacteria Assessment Network (CyAN) Project uses historic and current satellite data to detect algal blooms in U.S. freshwater systems.

I forgot that I had one more from Pekin. I'd missed this place on the several times I was here in the past.
For more of my kind of Holiday fun-
New Christmas joke!!
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where?
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?"
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree. Not a lot of people know this.
