Not far from the beavers there's a plane, some other parts are behind a building perilously close to a fallen tree. Kit plane? For some reason the legs and front end remind me of a Rutan design, but searching images I'm not so sure.

Mysterious Lockheed Lodestar on some forbidden nocturnal grassland in Kansas. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I used a handheld flashlight capable of producing different colors, illuminating the scene with warm white and red light. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting". Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images.

“I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.” Internet memes as a medium of propagation of unconventional phraseological replies: journals.openedition.org/lexis - there is apparently nothing you cannot write (and publish in a serious journal) a deep academic paper about. (Don't know what this is all about? Watch youtube.com/watch?v=ixljWVyPby from 1:03 ...) #Airplane

Approximate transcript of an actual conversation at work, discussing presenting on #DeepSpaceObject s (which was nothing to do with either of our jobs):
Them: "Although I've done this sort of thing so much I could just do it on the fly"
Me: "So what's this ?" (gestures at the air)
T: "Well, let's see, that's M42, so the red bits are emission nebula and the blue bits are reflection nebula."
M: "No, the blue bits are emission nebula, and the red bits are reflection nebula."
T: "No, the red bits are emission, and the blue reflection."
M: "Blue bits have always been emission, and red reflection."
T: "Look, don't you start with that blue emission shit again..."
