@rocketlabcorp.com stock is up 270% from what it was 12 months ago, they reported record earnings in the 3rd quarter, they’ve had 70 successful launches, and their twin satellites are 5by5 this very minute.

Solid, steady growth.

Pristine #ArtDeco, and also… slightly weird. Makes me want to buy a cash register, just to go inside. The circular windows almost remind me of a Shaolin Temple.

#Gardening: I really like these planters, and the hakone grass. They look like a combo of the Muppets and something from Whoville.

#ObjectsOfTheDay: Hand-carved Zapoteca Alebrijes animals made by artisans at the Antonio Fuentes y Macedonia Workshop.

For the Zapotec people, every soul comes to this world along with a guardian spirit in the form of an animal called an "El Nahual.”

#ObjectsOfTheDay: Portuguese artist Lidiya Marinchuk makes these adorkable fabric-stuffed, hand-painted acrylic toys of weirdo creatures.

They’re colorful & whimsical, and I generally just get a good vibe.

None of them are mass-produced — she even makes the packaging by hand.

#Architecture: Great detail of the Colony Theater, built in 1937, and located on Shaker Square in Cleveland, Ohio.

It was designed for Warner Bros by John Eberson, a Chicago and New York theater designer.

But anyone who’s spent more than 5 minutes on the Santa Monica 3rd Street Promenade, will know them for Les Lalanne’s 1989 public art installation entitled “The Dinosaurs of Santa Monica” where six 15ft tall topiary dinosaurs made of stainless steel, copper, and vegetation spew jets of water.
