Day after #Caturday and he is exhausted from trying to pose cutely all day yesterday.

Went for a walk from our hotel room and found this just down the street!
A bridge tower from the Brooklyn Bridge at night. The bridge tower is made of white stone and has two pointed arches, and it is brightly lit against the dark sky. A wooden walkway leads to the tower and several people in shadow are walking on it.

Last pic from my mom's former backyard as she moves to her new home today.
A canal curves past green grass and palm trees, reflecting them and the gray rain clouds in the sky, as a pink strip of sun rises over larger trees in the distance.

A great day enjoying the fantastic collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
A pair of metal decorative elevator grilles by Louis Sullivan, and visible through the grates is a large window with a view of the skyline of Minneapolis.

Found this article in some decades-old paperwork files today. I wonder why somebody saved this?
The article from *The Danbury (CT) News-Times* (August 3, 1977) describes an experimental study where researchers explored the use of hypnosis to increase bust size. They worked with 12 women, guiding them through visualization exercises during hypnosis to imagine their breasts growing larger. The results showed that women who were highly responsive to hypnosis experienced noticeable increases in their bustline. The procedure was experimental, and the researchers invited interested participants to contact them for future studies.
