2018 Miscellany #10

The Cleveland Zoo had a very successful Chinese Lantern installation. It has been almost been completely taken down. Most of it is corralled off in an area that had been a parking lot. Most of the lanterns have a cloth skin. This one had rows of little bottles with colored water, which looking at in a particular way is similar to an ear of ripe Indian corn.
 
This is a portion of the side of a giraffe. The giraffes were let out of their barn, and one came to the feeding platform waiting to be fed. In mediƦval China, it is said, that the most interesting animal from Africa was the giraffe, or the camel leopard as it was called in Europe. A few months ago, a foto was released of an American woman (Tess Thompson Talley*) overjoyed in posing with the giraffe she killed. The numbers of these, and many animals are in serious decline. Will the last one of a species be killed by some trophy hunter? What kind of hero would that person think he is to kill the last one of a species? Really, that bitch gave an American Evangelical gesture in one of her fotos with the dead giraffe.

In early September five days of heat, were ended with one blast of wind in a heavy rain. The next day repairs were still being made.
A bough from a tree hit this windshield. For those who complain about safety regulations in manufacturing: that window is crumpled and cracked, and still in one piece, note the rear view mirror.
