“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Happy New Year from this humorous Honeywell water pressure gauge panel in the Pluto Disassembly Building at the Nevada Test Site. Project Pluto (1957-64) was an effort to develop a nuclear ramjet—basically an open-ended nuclear reactor—to power a supersonic low-altitude nuclear-armed cruise missile.

Happy New Year! The chow here looks tasty, but when “Ocean Fresh” Sea Food is in quotes, you may or may not start the new year with a case of food poisoning. Milwaukee is 1,000+ miles to the Atlantic shore. I checked.

I was yesterday days old when I learned that David Crosby of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills and Nash fame, is the son of Floyd Crosby, who shot High Noon and Roger Corman's wonderful The Pit and the Pendulum.

December 1925: Three Najavo Indians make a sand painting by sprinkling colored grains on a bed of white sand in Oraibi, N.M. The scene is captured by Laura Adams Armer, who is said to be the first person to photograph this type of art being created.
