Please be briefly cheered up by this perfume bottle (Greek; c. 600BCE) from the Burrell Collection.

May these possums shouting in Werner Herzog's voice bring comfort to your day.
An alaskan woman calmly scruffing a screaming virginia opossum inside a red-walled brooklyn restaurant. "I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk."

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to p 42, post the second sentence.

The Creation of Land https://www.wikiart.org/en/paul-nash/the-creation-of-land-1924
"The Creation of Land" by Paul Nash is a striking woodcut print that uses dynamic, abstract forms to depict monumental, undulating landscapes. Created in the early 20th century, Nash's work is inspired by his unique vision of nature and often reflects the dramatic transformation of the land.

Experiments in ferrous oak gall ink making. The standard ink used in Europe for 1,400 odd years because of its permanence and water resistance. Quite addictive and I will be making more. Boiling oak gall smells faintly of caramel, and the final ink smells similar to blood (high iron content).
Loose black ink drawing of a figure in a cow costume - large cow head with horns on the head and a sheet covering the body. Colour photo of marble oak gall being crushed in a mortar. The inside of the gall is bright yellow. Photo of black and white ink drawing testing filtered and unfiltered black oak gall ink. A series of lines and squiggles filling the page. Colour photo of ink being filtered through cloth which is held on the top of a jar with an elastic band. A drip of ink is forming underneath the fabric. The ink is very dark blue black and has soaked into the off white cloth.

Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

Thirty years ago today. The most beautiful, hopeful farewell.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.
The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

Today's research into pioneering astronauts has led me to this:
The Silver Snoopy award is a special honour awarded to NASA employees for outstanding achievements related to human flight safety or mission success.

The award consists of a sterling silver lapel pin, worn during a mission.

This is a photo of the surface of an asteroid

It was taken from the *surface*I of that asteroid

By a *bouncing rover* the size of a lunchbox

(1/2)
Stones. On an asteroid. The view is distorted because of the camera lens. The bright splotch at the top is the Sun. Honestly this looks like a riverbed.

Today in 1964, Rod Serling’s “Carol for Another Christmas,” one of the most unusual versions of Charles Dickens’ classic story ever shown on television, was broadcast for the first and only time on ABC, the first in a series of programs fully underwritten by Xerox to support the United Nations.
