Another wonder of nature

Not to be a buttinsky but I wonder if Old Dog can vary the speeds, and stretch out the moments when the sun crosses the horizon.

Double-click on the little playback image and you'll get a new full-size window; in the bottom right there is a "settings" icon and you can vary the speed.

I couldn't get Old Dog's time lapse pictures to work,...


That's odd; it plays fine with my browser (Firefox) even from a private window.  Maybe you have some kind of security thing on your computer, I dunno.  If you are looking for a dandy program (free!) to play and convert all kinds of media files, I suggest VLC Media Player.  I've been using it for years for offline viewing of YouTube videos, never had a problem.

How was y'alls weekend?


Just chuggin' along, this cooler weather is a good time for cast iron maintenance, seasoning the pans as needed.  I spend more time in the kitchen than anywhere else, experimenting and most importantly, cleaning up afterwards.  I wish I had my new habits decades ago; I think I would have gotten more joy out of things that I've done but better late than never.  A nice thing about the big city is that there are plenty of resale shops with all kinds of hidden treasures.  About a week ago I scored one of those popcorn poppers with the crank handle that you turn and it's working amazingly well.  If you want some caramel or sugar-glaze popcorn this is the real deal, no burning and hardly any "widows."  For two bucks it is the best deal I've had all year.

While watching a documentary about Lower-Lower Wacker Drive I saw a great aerial view of Marina City and I think I may have seen Uncle Ken's balcony.  It's on the right floor and all the green stands out like a sore thumb.  What do you think?

And look at this: one of the Roma tomato plants that I've successfully germinated is having a baby.
