I became interested in Pocket knives when I was a Boy Scout during the last century. (Ouch, that sounds so old) I started collecting them some time later. Most of my collection comes from flea markets and estate/garage sales. Although I've recently been purchasing them on line from companies like Kershaw and Teckto. Last count I have 73 knives in my collection, with an Italian Stiletto which is my favorite.
These were in a recycle bin next to a cemetery's utility building. Surprised to see this. FYI, the lid was closed but I could see these sticking so I opened said lid and took the picture.

A pull-on pair of silk pants and a silk sweater are easy choices for a rushed morning. And a ponytail makes it even easier.
As much as I love to over-complicate an outfit, I sometimes choose simple utility over multiple layers, excessive accessories, and pattern mixing.

A small spaceship I imagine being some sort of exploratory vehicle operating out of a larger space station. The build was a fun vessel for messing with angles possible using cheese slopes,

This pole is near the end of a whole line of poles, all showing evidence of being quite old, that serves a small downtown residential neighborhood.
A very interesting car I saw at Jacksonville International Airport before departing for NYC. The cars have AED defibrillators inside, which leads me to believe the officers may be dual-certified in EMS and law enforcement duties, but i've never known about this agency until now. The black graphic on the side also resembles a private jet, which was really cool (after I took a couple hours to notice it.)

Another vehicle, this time detailed enough to guide an actual solid model. Again, 1:35 scale.
This one is a small utility vehicle. Hydrogen fuel cell for power. In the theme of Industrialpunk, or Hibernia, whichever. I'm not totally sold on the cab, but now that I have the dimensions down, I can play around with the shape. I may try out something closer to this, this, this, this, or this.
