A picture I took while on a road trip last month. Not sure which state I was in but it was probably Tennessee. I thought this cloud looked like a howling dog and the profile resembles Disney's Pluto.
Photo was taken during the day while inside the car looking through the windshield. I was not driving at the time :)
Jaatikko and his tribe have known of the feral beasts that live on the same harsh cold lands, the matoran & rahi mostly mind their own business, unless one journeys too close to the others hunting grounds or den, the matoran respect the creatures and some have been fortunate to earn each others trust and bond a new friendship
Toa Jaatikko
Class: Tribal x Viking Knight
Kanohi: Ancient Huna
This modified kanohi allows its user to
hide in the icy winds and snow as the perfect stealth hunter.
and Valor to strike hard and fast.
spiked club, powerful shield bash & strikes from kicking. all dramatically increased
Element: Ice
Abilities: generate a field of cold mist to his advantage, forge hard ice walls, weapons and warriors
This Toa of Ice hails from a Tribe like no other, the same goes for Jaatikko and his fellow proud hunters and warriors. they are Aggressive, Strong and Mysterious like no other Toa and matoran have heard of or seen before. rookies are given the ultimate challenge of survival out in the wild, if one shall fail, never return, only the strong survive, those that return with a prize worthy of staying in the village must face one final challenge with those that passed before them. The victor has the honor to remain in the village, and a powerful kanohi as their true reward for their hard work and bravery. Jaatikko ranks up as a honored and respected warrior of his pack, even promoted to Toa status when he was chosen. Jaatikko wears armor of his fallen brothers and sisters he found during his dangerous journey of endurance. He wields a killer frost bite war mace and a ice crystal snowflake shield, very light weight but ultra durable. Lastly he wears Clawed Mata Foot Extension's that provides greater traction and defense.
Jaatikko continues his journey in the stormy wastelands to discovery his destiny and seek others like him, or will he befriend and tame wild rahi first?

I have seen some funky names of energy drinks out there, but COME ON!
To me, a 'caffeine charged' monkey running around howlin' in a 'monkey suit' might be something I'd laugh at but certainly not something I'd want to drink
What I find interesting is the 'Multi-Vitamin' claim, because from what I read here the caffeine and sugar in these drinks make you pee away calcium, magnesium and zinc from your body.

The Postcard
A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was posted in Greenlawn, New York on Tuesday the 23rd. August 1910.
Greenlawn is a hamlet in Suffolk County. Located on Long Island in the Town of Huntington, the population was 13,742 in the 2010 census.
The card was posted to:
Millie Irving,
149, Columbia Avenue,
Jersey City,
New Jersey.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Aug. 23 1910.
Dear Millie,
From Aunt Mary."
A Political Rift
So what else happened on the day that Aunt Mary posted the card?
Well, on the 23rd. August 1910, a rift between U.S. President William H. Taft and U.S. Vice-President James S. Sherman threatened to split the Republican Party during mid-year elections.
The rift was described in the New York Times as follows:
"It is without a parallel in the history
of the relations between the two
highest Government officials."
The occasion was the public revelation of Taft's criticism of Sherman, in a letter to a New York City party chief Lloyd Griscom.
Roosevelt "blacked Jim Sherman's other eye" by telling reporters that he was very much pleased with Mr. Taft's statement."
Hayden Rorke
The day also marked the birth of the actor Hayden Rorke.
William Henry Rorke, known professionally as Hayden Rorke, was an American actor best known for playing Colonel Alfred E. Bellows in the 1960's American sitcom 'I Dream of Jeannie'.
Hayden Rorke - The Early Years
Rorke was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1910. He was the son of screen and stage actress Margaret Hayden Rorke, and he took his stage forename from her maiden name.
Hayden Rorke attended Brooklyn Preparatory School, a Jesuit school, where he served as president of the Dramatics Society and the Student Government, and was a member of the Omega Gamma Delta Fraternity.
He continued his education at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and began his stage career in the 1930's with the Hampden Theatrical Company.
Hayden Rorke in WWII
During World War II, Hayden enlisted in the United States Army, where he made his film debut in the musical 'This Is the Army' starring Ronald Reagan, for which he was uncredited as the stage manager, and as a soldier in the background.
Hayden Rorke's Post-WWII Acting Career
Following the war, Hayden left the Army and worked in small parts on Broadway, returning to Hollywood for the film 'Lust for Gold' (1949), again uncredited. However, it was an opening, and in later films, beginning with 'Rope of Sand', he is listed in the credits.
However he again shows up uncredited in the films 'Kim' (1950) and 'The Magnificent Yankee' (1950), as well as a couple of later films such as the Academy Award-winning 'An American in Paris' (in those days, small roles were often uncredited).
Hayden played the role of crooked businessman and murderer Arne Mason in episode 90 "Word of Honor" of the television series The Lone Ranger in 1952. He also appeared in episode 125 entitled "The Perfect Crime" of the same television series in 1953.
He continued to make movies, taking on supporting roles in films. Rorke also went uncredited as Clark Kent's psychiatrist in the Adventures of Superman episode "The Face and the Voice".
Hayden Rorke's Later Acting Work
In 1957, Rorke played Steve, the film agent, in the television series Mr. Adams and Eve, starring Howard Duff and Ida Lupino (then married in real life) as a fictitious acting couple residing in Beverly Hills.
Hayden played several guest roles on television, including Colonel Farnsworth in the short-lived 1964 sitcom No Time for Sergeants. He also appeared in three episodes of Perry Mason between 1960 and 1963. In his first role, he played the title character, Jay Holbrook, in "The Case of the Flighty Father" and Walter Caffrey in "The Case of the Violent Vest".
Rorke also appeared in television programs such as I Love Lucy, The Twilight Zone, Thriller, Peter Gunn, The Andy Griffith Show, Bonanza, Barnaby Jones, Mister Ed, Wonder Woman, The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, and The Love Boat.
Rorke was best known for his role as Dr. Bellows, the NASA medical officer in the television sitcom I Dream of Jeannie. Bellows was constantly trying to figure out why Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman), an astronaut under Bellows' supervision, often behaved strangely, and to decipher his madcap antics, but he never figures out what is actually going on.
Bellows usually wound up making himself look like a fool in front of his own superiors.
Rorke's last film was reprising his role in the television reunion movie I Dream of Jeannie... Fifteen Years Later (1985).
In the early 1980's, Rorke returned to the theater. In May 1980, he starred with Joan Caulfield at the old Showboat Dinner Theatre in St. Petersburg, Florida, in The Pleasure of His Company. He also acted in Mr. Roberts in St. Louis, Missouri.
Hayden Rorke's Personal Life and Death
Rorke's I Dream of Jeannie co-star Barbara Eden described Hayden as a "prince" who was a good friend to all. She claimed that he always managed to keep up the spirits of the Jeannie cast, even in difficult circumstances.
Eden also wrote in her 2011 biography Jeannie Out of the Bottle that Rorke was "unashamedly gay," and that he lived with his partner, television director Justus Addiss for many years in Studio City, along with their menagerie of dogs, until Addiss' death on the 26th. October 1979. The couple would often invite the cast over for parties.
Hayden Rorke died at the age of 76 of multiple myeloma at his Toluca Lake home on the 19th. August 1987. He was survived by two brothers.

Did some night photography for a change, had to use digital instead of my beloved film. This is out of focus, but I like the composition. What do you think?
figurine from artificial stone, from St. Petersburg Zoo
For holidays 1 and 2 May, I was again in St. Petersburg with a friend.
We walked a lot, went to the zoo.
You know, I could not pass up this figure! This will be the mascot of the musical group Thomas))
The people of San Rafael (Lucas Valley), CA howl at 8 p.m. every night for the health care workers fighting COVID-19. Sorry for the poor quality. This was a last minute idea, posted for a friend of mine.
This wolf is not one of great power but of speed and stamina it can hang onto a buffalo for days until it dies and run up to 50 miles an hour.
deadly scale: 7
When I first heard the wolves howling, I was momentarily out of sight of both them and the kids, and I thought it was the latter playing around. Not so: one started up again, and then others joined in. The first time in my life I've heard it for real, I think - and I was glad I'd taked the long lens with me to the zoo, too.
A Norman chapel stands on the steep hillside above Chadlington. On a cold day in March the wind drives snow across the churchyard and rattles resilient patches of snowdrops. How many snows has this simple building seen, how many travellers have sought shelter from a howling storm, having climbed the steep hill from the River Evenlode below. Standing among the yew trees, on the bone-rich ground, the view from the churchyard is ancient, little altered by the passing years. At the end of a narrow lane All Saints has a few cottages for company, it is hard to tell whether these humble buildings are survivors of a larger village or have always stood isolated among the fields. It is easier to imagine the numberless generations of locals summoned here by bells to celebrate the passing ceremonies of Christian calendar.
The exterior of All Saints is austere, a simple two-cell Norman chapel extended to the south in the 15th century with a Georgian east window added during a major early restoration. The church consists of nave, chancel, an east belfry and 19th century south porch although outer and inner doors appear much earlier in date. Step inside and you are confronted by the Middle Ages in all it's symbolic complexity and the belief that the intervention of saints can influence our daily lives. A palimpsest, medieval saints overwritten with later biblical texts cover large areas of the nave walls, giving a faded impression of the elaborate decorative schemes that were common to all our pre-Reformation churches. A round-headed lancet survives in the north wall of the nave. The small 13th century chancel arch of two pointed chamfered orders is off-centre due to the nave being extended to the south. The south wall has two Perpendicular windows, a doorway and a piscina to the east, all of a similar date. A large squint to the south of the chancel arch connects nave and sanctuary. The west wall of the nave has a Tudor window and a blocked Georgian opening which may once have been one main doors of the church. An atmosphere of antiquity is emphasised by the 18th century pulpit, reading desk and box pews which tower over the east end of the nave. Opposite the door is a Norman tub font which has seen over 900 years of service. If you look through the Georgian east window of the chancel the tower of Spelsbury church can be seen in the distance, the chancel was rebuilt in the 18th century re-using a Decorated window in the south wall.
The real rarity of All Saints is the fortunate survival of several passages of medieval decoration preserved from destruction under a layer of whitewash. The earliest decoration surviving surrounds the 13th century round-headed north nave window, red lines mimic the pattern of stonework and small red floral motifs have been added to the window splay.
To the left of the blocked north door is a representation of St Frideswide, an 8th century princess who became a nun, choosing the church over a royal suitor, who was blinded when he attempted to force her into marriage. She became patron saint of Oxford and although her shrine was destroyed in the Reformation she is believed to be buried in Christ Church, Oxford.
To the right of the door is the figure of an archbishop, which might be St Edmund of Abingdon or a rare survival of an image of St Thomas a Becket, a particular target for iconoclasts due to his defiance of royal authority. The image shows the archbishop teaching a child to read.
To the west of the round-headed window is a fragmentary 14th century priest thought to be a depiction of St Leonard, patron saint of Eynsham Abbey, who owned the patronage of Shorthampton.
Over the chancel arch the remains of a Doom have been obscured by a Royal Coat of Arms. The Last Judgement, with the just ascending to heaven while sinners are thrown into the mouth of hell, is a common subject for the chancel arch, after the Reformation every church had to display the Royal Arms.
The squint was inserted in the 15th century to enable those in the widened southern portion of the nave to be able to witness the elevation of the host, during the celebration of the Mass. "The Legend of the Clay Birds" is depicted inside the squint, the Virgin Mary holds the Christ child and St John, although St.John might be holding a Goldfinch. The legend derives from the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of St Thomas which describes the Christ child making clay birds which he then brings to life.
To the right of this is "the Agony in the Garden" but there are two layers of paint which makes the imagery difficult to read.
The left reveal of the easterly south window of the nave has a small mid-15th century figure in an elaborate green dress. This is St Sitha, also known as Zita of Lucca, the patron saint of maids and domestic servants, often depicted holding a set of keys and said to help supplicants in finding items they have lost.
Between this window and the south door is a panel which shows St Loy or the "Legend of St Eligius", patron saint of blacksmiths and metalworkers, depicted shoeing a horse. A 7th century goldsmith famous for the building of churches.
Biblical texts replaced images of saints in the reign of Eward VI who ordered their destruction in 1548. The Creed appears on a large panel over the door and the west wall has a cartouche containing King Solomon's prayer. Also on the west wall is a disembodied wing probably the remains of "George and the Dragon" though possibly the Archangel Michael. There are also many small fragments of wall painting including foliate decoration round the chancel arch.
All in all a wonderful voyage through time. Shorthampton is a few miles from Chipping Norton about 40 minutes from Stratford-upon-Avon
