Wow. Here's what it looks like in my neck of the woods:

I feel for your suffering. It’s awful. Maybe we can crowdfund a ticket to someplace that won’t let you be so smug about the weather.

I just returned from a business trip to Ohio. No crowdfunding necessary.

 

Here's an article I found rather interesting:

For myself, I obtain great and deep joy just being able to have the luxury of walking around, looking, seeing, and experiencing the external world! To me, there is nothing more interesting and stimulating than to just walk around in public spaces, say hello to strangers, and photograph whatever I find interesting.

1st: I call hoax. Need video.

2nd: How small can a chunk of ice be and still be called a "berg"?

 

DVDs appear to distinctly dislike microwaves.

 

Oddly reminiscent of stained brain slices. I should probably bring this to the attention of the AI community.

Looks like a Mandelbrot fractal.

Nice. DVDs covered with plastic wrap do something quite similar, although not for very long. They also probably release all kinds of toxic gasses as that metalilzed surface disintegrates (stinks up the place and I don't recommend doing it), but anything in the name of science

Not that it matters much, but the motivation for this is from becoming annoyed at getting these "free" DVDs in the mail - chronic for this time of year here.

Back in the day, AOL used to do the same with 3.5 diskettes, but at least you could block the WP tab and reformat them and use them.

Yeah, probably lots of things in that protective projective test....

They also smell pretty horrible afterwards, I learned to my dismay.

 

Today's picture, still thinking of spring and the return of nesting birds.

 

A photo for today.

From a stay on Mackinac Island, Michigan in Lake Huron. The ferry Chippewa making morning deliveries to the island at dawn.
We love Mackinac and visit whenever we can manage it.
