Thanks aplenty. It’s after 3 am, going to bed, check your log. If I have nightmares, I am blaming you.
Interesting.
The dog is in the cone of shame. She got fixed. I don’t know when she can get it off. I tried to get her a break and take it off for a while, but she immediately tried to get it back on until the youngest helped her. And then she went straight to trying to scratch her neck which she couldn’t reach because of the cone.
Tiny worlds inside toilet paper rolls and
The Robot Paintings
These “appeal” to me
Wonderful!
Sorry about the cone DP.

Thanks Drea!
Tam – Have fun!!!
Fantastic art.
I just finished the book “The Defiant” by Lesley Livingston. It was about a young woman during the early Roman period who came from an established family, but was sold into slavery as a female gladiator. I am familiar with the cover art of sexy ill clothed women to attract a readership. But I am not persuaded to vive such pursuits. However, I was captivated by the cover art and was persuaded to purchase the pre novel in the series. I wonder if the author is using a self portrait to peak interest in this novel. The cover art is not a sexy pose or a woman atop a horse ill clothed and a not revealing angle. The image is of the main character, attractive and well constructed, seriously engaged, but in a combative pose with an interloper in gladiatrix garb.
Been much enjoying the unusual art and other discoveries shared at 41Strange.
Okay here’s “my” strange arts n sciences share for today.
The next time you are craving a specific food dish, created at a specific restaurant in Tokyo,
no need to buy an expensive plane ticket and spend 13 hours
flying thru the air.
Just contact the Open Meals project and they will teleport it to you!
The company has already created a working prototype of their 3d food printer/replicator
and once they create one at scale, their aim is to mass produce it worldwide for everyone and anyone who wants
it so you can order specific foods from restaurants Open Meals might partner with in japan.
The exact DNA of your dish is then digitally teleported across the miles for your food printer to replicate before your eyes.

Wow! It sounds like the replicator on Star Trek.
I see many a nightmare on the horizon. A horror story awaits…
