this morning on my inbound commuter train. The most common observation among everyone was that the black and blue colors were horribly ugly. And our conductor looked at the white and gold combination and immediately proclaimed it as bronze and silver.
This "what color is this dress" debate shows how far down the internet has brought our collective intelligence. These are conversations that Kardashians have all day, every day.
How much time do you think anybody actually spent on the dress or the llamas or even the Slurpee Waves of Nantucket? That lots of people are having some fun with these things doesn't mean Civilization as We Know it is doomed, just that, maybe, people who have spent all day dealing with serious/mundane things found something that makes them laugh or go "ooh" or whatever for a few minutes.
The fact that the Kardashians get mentioned at all, now that's a serious issue we need to address!
The slurpee waves on Nantucket
Could be surfed in an old oaken bucket
The dudes were all "SIIIIICK!"
Surfing that is a trick!
But I don't have a drysuit, so fucket!
I wouldn't say that. This thing going viral has produced some interesting discussions about how the brain interprets colour and about light and colour balance.
Yup...neuroscience and the physics of light really bringing down the collective intelligence of society! People who probably haven't learned anything new about science in recent history stopped to read an article explaining this phenomenon. If the Kardashian's are talking about "chromatic bias of the daylight axis", then maybe none of us can keep up with them.
I just came off the Longfellow bridge and saw several sets of different types of animal tracks in the snow on the river. Hope everyone gets where they wanted to go!
the Road Runner have declined so much. If Chuck Jones were still alive, he NEVER would have allowed the Road Runner to cross a frozen harbor (see Rules # 5 and # 6 below):
Speaking of the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, animator Chuck Jones and his team were said to follow these simple rules when creating the cartoons:
1. The Road Runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going "meep, meep."
2. No outside force can harm the Coyote -- only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme products. Trains and trucks were the exception from time to time.
3. The Coyote could stop anytime -- if he were not a fanatic.
4. No dialogue ever, except "meep, meep" and yowling in pain.
5. The Road Runner must stay on the road -- for no other reason than that he's a roadrunner.
6. All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters -- the southwest American desert.
7. All tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme Corporation.
8. Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy.
9. The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.
10. The audience's sympathy must remain with the Coyote.
11. The Coyote is not allowed to catch or eat the Road Runner.
Despite Wikipedia's insistence that these rules were pure fiction, Mel Blanc, the voice of nearly all the Warner Brother's cartoon characters, acknowledged the existence of the rules in his autobiography.
I live in Quincy, and coyotes are fairly common here. I haven't seen one, but I've seen a few articles in the newspaper about coyote sightings. I think they hang around the beaches and marshy areas at night.

This, too, shall pass
Now that there are Coyote Marines, I figure humanity has about six, maybe seven years left at the top of the food chain.

First off, I want to say, cool composition on the photo. Secondly, I'd like to say HOLY SHIT WE'RE DOOMED.

He needs to head toward land, past the Stop N Shop.
He'll find that roadrunner yet!
Sad to see that the standards for chasing

Tell those mangy mutts to stop leaving their used needles and condoms on the beach. Savages.

Sometimes they cross the train bridge and hang out in the marsh in Neponset. I see them around sometimes. Then the stray cats starts to disappear.
Don't assume
I wouldn't rule out ALF.
Sadly this will lead to the
Sadly this will lead to the disappearance of outdoor cats past the shore..
The bright side...
And an increase in the wild bird population, which increases biodiversity, helps in seed dispersal, helps control the insect population, etc.
uh oh..
(psst, Steeve, I brought this up a few months back and got clawed by the cat people...watch out...)
coyotes common in Stonybrook Res..beautify animals on the east coast...west coast: scrawny/mangy
she's headed for some peace and quiet...
