Went in for my regularly scheduled CT scan today and saw this on the changing room wall.  I’ve had many XRays and CT scans over the years, and have never seen a sign like this.  Were people having trouble donning their hospital garb?

I love when a find a previous reader’s receipt in my library book; it’s fun to see what other books someone checked out, in addition to the one we have in common.  But I love the note on the bottom of this library’s receipt.

My friend Ellen came over tonight with her 11 week old poodle-shitzu mix, Peter.  He is of course adorable.

I’ll just add this to my collection of photos of various disembodied heads that appear around work.

We’ve always done all right with sunflower seed….

I guess this is a preview of what Boston will look like as it sinks into the Atlantic.

I have this cool little portable microscope that can attached to your phone or tablet’s camera, and today at work I enjoyed wandering around and showing it to people. The adults in particular were fascinated to learn that Abe Lincoln is actually visible in the memorial building on the back of a penny.

As I waited outside a local thrift store today, I listened to the woman ahead of me chatting to her friend.  It went something like this:
“Thrift stores always have crazy things like this.”
“I have a bunch of things like this at home.  I really don’t need anymore.”
“The legs I have at home don’t stand up by themselves like these do.  I have to store them upside down.  These are better.”
“I wonder how much they are.”
At this point she goes to speak to an employee.  The employee disappears for a moment and come back with a SOLD tag that she attaches to the legs.
Hilarious.

A neighbor contacted me today to say that she had some plastic containers for me.  I went over to pick them up, and was treated to the sight of this delightful collection on her front yard.
