Things seen make us think of things unseen.

 

Your Daily Warning That

Halloween Is Coming

by DG

Better a what's-it in the window than a dust bunny under the bed.

Cathedral Doorway

Archways within archways. In Inverness.

 

Cathedral arched door, open, with similar shapes in the darkness inside, plus brightly-coloured announcement boards on stands.

Quote of the Day

from Twitter/X

Downtown. Fort Duquesne at 9th Street. A motorcycle cop said they are monitoring a protest of about 20 people against surveillance cameras. – Pittsburgh Scanner

Couldn't they just monitor them with surveillance cameras? – Scott Olssen

 

Squirrel-operated speed cameras. Please slow down, says the sign, which has a picture of a squirrel with a camera.


Looming Threat?

by DG

That statue is very imposing in more ways than one. (It's 213 feet up.)


 

Justice with scales and sword, way up on the top of the courthouse, from very close to the building at ground level.

Atmospheric Halloween Tree

Nature has been decorating, too.

Anthropological Question of the Day:

Has Humour Improved in the Last

100 Years?

By DG

I say no. This piece of observational humour is from a 1920 joke book.

Little Willie came home in a sad state. He had a black eye and numerous scratches and contusions, and his clothes were a sight. His mother was horrified at the spectacle presented by her darling. There were tears in her eyes as she addressed him rebukingly:

"Oh, Willie, Willie! How often have I told you not to play with that naughty Peck boy!"

Little Willie regarded his mother with an expression of deepest disgust.

"Say, ma," he objected, "do I look as if I had been playing with anybody?"

A boy in an old-fashioned illustration with torn clothes and a black eye.



We'll let ourselves out.
