The going theory is that this is a rocket powered potato, or a meteor coming to destroy the earth.  We have all died, we just don’t know it yet. Or a UFO. This is far more interesting than a splotch on the negative, especially when it has an obvious streamer behind it. Yes. This is perfectly sensible.

There’s been a dreadful lack of coffee this morning.

Funny story of the day

So I was waiting to cash out at CVS, having stopped there on the way to work, and there was a big line that was kind of sprawling out because only one register was open. I was standing next to this guy who'd been standing there for what seemed like a long time, very patiently. The cashier made eye contact with me and said "next", and I said, "Oh, no, he was here before me", turning to look at him.

It was a life-sized grim reaper mannequin.
