    I'm doing some color conversions this morning and I ran across this image. To me these colors are simply beautiful:

    Looks like something Bob Ross could have painted.

    Yes, and thankfully without the ginormous tree in the forefront which would end up covering half the beauty already painted.

    I know Bob loved his happy little trees, but I would be bothered sometimes when he'd cover so much of his work with a big, dark tree in front.

    The Northern lights are reaching as far down as New York... not quite far enough for me.

    This is an amazing tree from Stonington, CT. It's a lobster trap Christmas tree. I can't post the best images I've seen, so these will have to do.



    The 24-foot-high "tree" is made from 378 lobster traps and decorated with 360 buoys painted by artists and students. It is an homage to Christmas and to the Stonington fishing fleet.




    It is an effort of the Ocean Community Chamber of Commerce, with the support of many including numerous volunteers.
    The inside is cool, sorry about the politician.

    My nephew and his family are on a trip to Alaska to dog sled, ice fish, and see the Northern Lights. They got stranded in Seattle Washington for two days ... weather. A bummer I would think.

    East London's "knocker-uppers" paid to shoot peas at windows to wake up over sleepers so they didn't lose their jobs.

    Mary Smith, a famous knocker-upper in London's East End, shot dried peas out of a pea shooter instead of a pole. She charged a sixpence a week for her pea-shooting service.Some knocker-uppers simply banged on doors to wake up their customers, but they found that by doing this they were also waking up their customer's neighbours for free.Mary Smith's pea shooting method solved this problem, as they tap of peas on the window was loud enough to wake up the clients without disturbing anyone else on the street.She became one of the most beloved characters in the East End in the 1930s, with her nearest competition being a knocker-upper three miles away who used a fishing rod to tap on the windows.She was so loved, that she had her own children's book written and named after her.

    No one person can ever change the truth, but the truth, once learned, can and will change the person

    You must be the change you wish to see in the world when you are through changing, you are through

    Pity how modernity has taken away all these wonderful little jobs.
