City Council Lays an Egg
The World War I poster proclaims: "Uncle Sam expects you to keep hens and raise chickens...In time of peace a profitable recreation; in time of war a patriotic duty."
A century later, the Richardson City Council spent over an hour discussing updating the City's animal ordinances, much of the time spent on setting a limit on how many chickens one household can keep.

POTD: Beach Tricks
"Casablanca's shore,
In the air, a fleeting flip,
A moment to soar."

Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Atlantic Ocean beach in Casablanca, Morocco. Just a young man doing a back flip in the sand. That is all.

POTD: Palm Grove of Marrakesh
"The camel has a single hump;
The dromedary, two;
Or else the other way around.
I'm never sure. Are you?"
— Ogden Nash
From 2023 09 20 Marrakesh |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Palm Grove of Marrakesh, Morocco, which dates back more than 1,000 years. The grove is "a palm oasis of several hundred thousand trees outside of Marrakesh, Morocco. Situated at the edge of the city's northern section, it measures 5 miles (8.0 km) in length, and covers an area of 54 square miles (140 km2). It is known for its eponymous palm trees and resorts and camel rides."
In case it's not obvious, that's "L" ahead of me on a camel ride in the desert.
