Polish Winged Hussar Armor

Weasel wants to show off her babies.

This idiot is clearly not a reader, because he is entirely unaware that bears are out of control.

Funny dog expressions.

Messy eater.

Cat won't abide any roughhousing.

Adopted goose becomes an auntie to ducklings.

Baby giraffe finds an umbrella.

Surfer dog.

Arrigato, human-san.

Teaching a dog to operate a catapult.

My little window units had been going 24/7 for over a week. Last night it actually cooled off earlyish so I was able to go to my normal mode of switching to fans for overnight. (whole house fan, fan mode on the ACs and 4 extra window fans). I don't how the pioneers managed, I guess folks who weren't tough back then didn't live long.

52 I'm a big fan of Erte jewelry, and right now there are earrings for sale on eBay that are absolutely the wings of that armor! Gorgeous and price-y.

Erte is considered the father of Art Deco, so dating back to the early 1900s. He was Russian but based in Paris, he might well have seen that armor on his travels.

Yum.

Perhaps what Ace has learned is that penguin content early in the week results in olfactory overload for days, even with the AoSHQ Café Custodial Engineering Department working massive amounts of overtime to get the mephitic bouquet even slightly under control resulting in a significant (and often sustained) drop in patronage for the rest of the week.

67 NASA renovated an office space to make a daycare. The hot water pump failed so they have no A/C. Apparently, the A/C unit cools the air so much when it dehumidifies that they need hot water to bring the air temp back up.
When we worked there, the air temp was below standards, about 68-70, but no one investigated it until final punch list.

The 'bachelor' penguins who are forced out to the edges of the rookery are known as "hooligans". One of their milder perversions is bringing pebbles to the females who are already partnered with a male. These females will often then sneak off with one of the hooligans for a bit of fun.

If caught, their partner 'divorces' them.

As I said, this is, perhaps, the mildest perversion the hooligans exhibit. Being a family blog, further discussion is probably not wise.
