No it’s not the 4th generation Miata, but an odd take on the current 3rd gen car. I found this on Autoblog, take a side view of a car, import it into your favorite image editor program, cut the roof of the car off, turn it around and paste it back on. Tah Dah! Backwards Cars.
…we were on foot.
Bridge Ahead Closed To Carriages
We went for a walk in Hitchcock Woods this afternoon and finally placed the new cache. We had hoped to get it placed yesterday, so it would be published this morning, but life intervened. I’m waiting to send it to the reviewer ’til a little later this evening so that no one will be tempted to go hunting it, against the rules and all common sense, tonight.
In the recent past I’m sure I have complained here about how cold it has been here, so in the interest of fairness I shall now commence to whining about today’s weather. The high was nearly 15 degrees above normal,, so that when we went walking in the woods this afternoon the trails were crowded with dog walkers, horseback riders and a few just plain walkers such as ourselves. Worse yet was that I actually broke a sweat on our three and a half mile trek. All that traffic did have a side benefit, it spooked a group of deer so that we caught sight of five good sized does streaking across our path about 50 yards ahead at one point.
I know what you’re thinking, “He’s gone off the deep end.” Sorry already been off for quite a while.
These little fellows are a cute as puppy dogs and I couldn’t help but make more than one. Then I thought maybe they needed a momma to show them the way of the world, so I made one twice as large grafting two pieces of card stock together. If I made 6 of the small guys every weekend, how long would it take to fill up my 9′ x 9′ x 3-1/2′ high cubical?
Thanks
The photo above is submission #27 to the EnchantedCeiling web site and my last.
Dear devoted friends and readers,
Thank you for these seven long years of support and contributions to the EnchantedCeiling project. It has been fantastic to see what you all see from both near and far.
As of the end of this month, January, 2011, I will be closing down the upload feature of the site. The archive of photos you have collected and shared will be maintained for as long as possible (and since hosting is cheap, that should be for a long, long time!)
I know you will all find other wonderful ways to share you view of the world. Thank you for coming here for such a wonderfully long time.
-DH.
I’m not going to really miss the site that much, most of my submissions were in the first three years of its existence, in the last three I’ve only added 7 and those were basically prompted by a reminder email from the site owner. I have those submissions and 20 more posted in a gallery on LOB.
Fourteen months ago I had a root canal done. Yesterday was Donna’s turn to go under the drill. Last week she had a bad headache that nagged her for a couple days and then over the weekend a tooth started to pain her. The headache was her body trying to tell her she had an infection in the tooth. On Monday she called the dentist and got an appointment for Tuesday and an antibiotic prescription because her face was starting to get swollen on one side. Monday after work we got the script filled and she took one as soon as we got home. Then we read the sheet of side effects and precautions only to find out that persons with Crohns or Colitis shouldn’t take that medication.
On Tuesday she saw our regular dentist and he immediately sent her down the hall to the specialist. The infection was so bad that there was a possibility that she might have to take antibiotics for 10 days before the root canal could be done, but they ended up doing it right then. They sent her home with a prescription for an antibiotic she could take, Amoxicillin. After a root canal your mouth is sore because they have been in there working, but the pain is minimal. For Donna’s root canal they had to give her two shoots to kill the pain and lance part of her gum because of the infection. She hurt pretty bad and neither one of us got a lot of sleep. Around 3:00 Am this morning we contemplated going to the emergency room for help. But Donna the trooper gutted it out, but called the dentist for some pain meds today. She now has 15 Lortab (7.5/500) to take every 4 to 6 hours, the pills do a good job of knocking the pain back, but only seem to last, at most, a couple hours. Hopefully the antibiotics will kill the infection and that will make the pain go away without having to keep taking the pain pills.
This bit of folded paper is kind of crude compared to the cute Minimimmo and not nearly as slick as The Alien, but the Star Wars geek in me just had to make it. Trouble is, it is not so recognizable as to what it is. My wife who has seen A New Hope as many times as I have, thought it might be from Firefly. Of course when she said that I thought, “Oooh, oooh, maybe somebody has done a papercraft Serenity.” Sure enough, someone has, and the plans are on the God-blessed Internet. Unfortunately what I have been doing so far in no way prepares me to make that model. I’m just graduating from Papercraft Pre-school and this project is Graduate School level. It is approximately 80 pieces cut from thirteen 8-1/2 x 11 sheets with instructions consisting of 14 jpeg images.
From IMDB’s trivia page for Star Wars:
While George Lucas was filming on location in Tunisia, the Libyan government became worried about a massive military vehicle parked near the Libyan border. Consequently, the Tunisian government, receiving threats of military mobilization, politely asked Lucas to move his Jawa sandcrawler farther away from the border.
