Rani with Blu.  Blu is wearing a plastic cone while he recovers.  The collar he was wearing caused an injury and interfered with his ability to feed.  He lost more than 50% of his weight, going from 14lbs to 6lbs.

A birds nest is more easily seen when the leaves are gone.  Notice the red berries in the branches.

I have this type of grass around my house, I found this bunch in Cos Cob.  The grouping of grass is wrapped around a telephone pole for support with a strap similar to a dog leash.

Nearby an horse ride.  I had a similar horse when I was a toddler in Levitown, NY (Long Island).  It may have been a Christmas present.

When the Police are occupied by more serious events some people may take advantage of the lack of enforcement. At 2:15PM this driver parked in the Handicaped space at Balducci's and shopped with her child.

When you're wealthy in Greenrich Connecticut this sign is a drop in the bucket.

Fireplace Safety and by the way…who would like to tap my brain and pay me to consult/invent the creation of the ‘Fireplace Turbine’ which will be one of the future home energy sources?

Tuesday Night cold. I lit a fire. The plastic wood bundles were bought from the Mobil station in Riverside on the Post Road. My fireplace has two shields of protection, a weaved metal curtain and two folding glass doors.

water spray

The burning logs fell around as their shape changed. Something I didn't notice happened. A familiar noxious burning odor became obvious just near the fire. Something must be burning outside the fireplace? I had a water spray bottle nearby and sprayed the rug with a mist of water, I thought the rug was burning dude.

It's 40 degrees right now, 1030pm.  I lite a fire about 2 hours ago.  Soon after I smelled a fowl synthetic or unnatural odor that said to me 'Danger'.

I noticed a piece of charcoal on the plastic that wraps around the firewood. It's in this photo in the upper left of the plastic area just under the wood. The dark thing there.

coal burned plastic

Here it is in a close up withe a ring of burnt plastic around it.

a grill curtain

So may I suggest to be carefull. In this photo there is a metal curtain barrier between me and the fire...it does not stop everything.

The shapes are always changing like clouds but quicker. Do you see anything familiar or interpretive in these shapes?
