I had to explain why I liked finding this today - Smiley used to be the arch-rival of Kwik Fit for tyres and exhausts, in 1980s Scotland at least.

Supercell near Beiseker, Alberta. The base was barely a couple hundred feet above the ground

This Euclid/Terex Scraper was hard at work when I saw it in the '80s.

Unfortunately my failing memory prevents me from recalling where I took the picture! :o)

I can't resist looking up at the skyscrapers in big cities, no matter how much of a silly tourist I look like for it.

Prime Tower

Imagine the rotation of the tree along the vertical axis. The long branches circling around the axis. In this movement he is pushing away the remaining snow on the ground. Spring is ready 2 come !

Stell Dir vor die vertikale Achse des Baums rotiert. Seine langen Äste kreisen um die Achse. In der Bewegung räumt er den restlichen Schnee vom Boden. Der Frühling ist bereit !

I love a good turn of phrase. When Angie used the term crotch scraping to describe very short skirts, I immediately latched onto it. I’ve now replaced “miniskirt” with “crotch scraper” in my vocabulary.

Cardigan, Wet Seal. Camo tee, SO (thrifted). Belt, Macy’s. Crotch scraper, American Standard Tyte (thrifted and overdyed). Leggings, Target. Loafers, American Eagle for Target. Earrings, Pangaea.

I have no problem with very short skirts, provided one wears something pants-like beneath to avoid the show-cha your chocha. Keeping your legs crossed is also helpful.
