So technically speaking four of the things posted on my humor blog the past eight days were repeats. Do I feel bad about this? No, not in the slightest. But here's what you missed, or maybe missed again:
- MiSTed: A Moment of Hack (Part 1 of 2)
- Some Unwise Resolutions
- Statistics Saturday: The Ten Most Unheard-of Albums of 2021
- 60s Popeye: Valley of the Goons, the rare cartoon where Popeye goes sailing
- Reposting The Stages Of The Road Trip: Stage Five
- What's Going On In Gasoline Alley? Are they making a Gasoline Alley movie? October - December 2021
- Reflecting on an end of the Christmas season
- MiSTed: A Moment of Hack (Part 2 of 2)
Not in repeats yet? My photo reel. Here's some wandering around the Potter Park Zoo's Wonderland of Lights. We're almost up to the first animals! Not counting the Arctic Foxes that I didn't photograph because they were curled up and far away and I knew from experience would not make any photograph worth sharing.
And here it is, the place to cast your wish to become an animal!
Some of the sponsored Christmas trees, as well as the Discovery Center, which was closed off but was giving away activity bags for kids with the stuff they might have done had the pandemic been under control, the way it would have been if we had locked down, masked, and vaccinated, like we could have.
Nutcracker-themed entrance to the suggested walking trail. I don't remember if the guards are new and don't have the energy to go all the way back to last year's photos and check, so someone else do that for me, please.
Oh hai extremely obvious transformation event trigger how are you? (It didn't work.)
The lights around the otter enclosure. There were more around this year, we both agreed without going back to check whether there really were.
Oh hai even more extremely obvious transformation event trigger how are you? (It didn't work.)
Trivia: In 1872 Joseph B Stearns of Boston patented the first successful telegraph duplexer. In 1874 Jean Maurice Emile Baudot patented a switching device to allow four or six telegraph apparatuses to use the same line. Used together their devices allowed for 12 channels to share a single line.

Currently Reading: Lost Popeye Volume 16: Oh Ring Them Bells, Tom Sims, Bela Zaboly. Editor Stephanie Noelle. Features a little bit where Olive Oyl tries to attract a Goon suitor and dresses as a Goon herself, which is pretty sweet.
PS: From my Second A-to-Z: Orthonormal for everyone who thought orthogonal wasn't enough orthoness!
