Something a little different today. I bought one of those microscopes that attach to your smartphone. I held it up to my mustache for a test. Look at these pipelines coming out of my lip! Fortunately, no bugs found. It appears that gray comes from some dark hairs that haven't frosted yet.
There's a whole world of wonders at the micro level. Most of us are oblivious to the complexity of life at small scales. Each hair is made of 3 layers of protein carefully organized by the hair follicle into a ropy structure with overlapping shingles. The protein molecules were built from DNA and ferried from the nucleus to ribosomes, where the genetic sequence was translated into keratin. Then, it had to be delivered to the proper site in the follicle where it was built into a cylindrical structure and pushed out, growing from its base to a particular length before it stops, depending on the type of hair.
This is all accomplished by molecular machines constructing things from coded instructions. A single hair on your head is more amazing than you can imagine!

Triple phosphate crystals, in their characteristic "coffin lid" shape.
This is dog urine, but these crystals are found in human pee, too, and are not clinically significant, just cool to look at.
Microscope slides in a brown box made of thick paper material with small metal pieces on each edge around the four sides. One edge is splitting, and some others are bending and folding inward. Centered on the top is a logo. There is a wide diamond symbol with "Diamond Brand Slides Covers" around the edges and "JMF" in cursive script at the center. Inside are many glass slides as well as a piece of paper at the bottom that says, "Non-Corroseive Micro Slides / Made in U.S.A."

It's not every day that you find Reboot toys. Also Sin City and X-Men Evolution for that matter. But Rosario Dawson is literally so whitewashed that we did not realize it was a Sin City action figure when we bought it!

BACKSTORY: COMMENTS/ANECDOTES: This was a great day for yardsaling! Multiple community yardsales, the Boy Scout flea market, a church rummage sale, this day had it all. We got a lot of stuff. 3 car-loads! A Russian Cyrillic typewriter. We actually made it through the entire route, surprisingly. We had talked about maybe skipping a section in the middle, but then we went ahead and continued on. Then later, we were like, "Damn, we should have skipped that stuff in the middle, but then we wouldn't have gotten the stripper pole." Trade-offs! Our two goals were met though: we were specifically looking for floor lamps and power strips. By the way, Trump voters price stuff ridiculously.
SUMMARY: Got up around 7:05AM, made it out driving from McDonald's by 7:48 and went out until 2:39PM for a total of 6 hours. Spent $164.24 plus ~$5.03 gas for 58.1 miles of driving (28.7 mpg @ $2.49/G), for a total cost of $169.27. We drove to 48 yard sales, stopping at 18 (38%) of them. We made 65 purchases (115 items not including the power blocks) for a total estimated value of $1,207.61, leading to a profit/savings of $1,038.34. So in essence, we multiplied our $169.27 investment by 6.13X. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $1,183 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $1,038.34 in cash that we saved. How long does $1,038 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 6 hrs we spent here?) Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $173.06/hr as a couple or $86.53/hr per person.

* $20.00: camping stove, Coleman, two burners, 5430B700 (EV:$42.41)
* $20.00: canopy, instant pop-up, Quik Shade, unsure of size, but it is probably around 8x8'. (EV:$49.99). Bought off the guy's back because it was his that he was using for his spot at the flea market, but he didn't have it up and had it in with his stuff as if it was for sale. When we asked how much, he said he'd sell it to us for $20.
