Comic Sans Serif

Some folks are just too self important to make important points.  As for me, I love Comic Sans because it's the way all architects were taught to letter on tracing paper (vellum) back when architects used pencil and paper to design and document buildings.
Lemonade stand indeed! Relax, already.

Two Faces From Space

The first, and most recent, is from Tuesday night's Lunar Eclipse, when the Earth passed between the Sun and our moon:
Nice pic of an inert space sphere. In contrast, seen through a very dark lens, is our Sun:
This was a quiet day, with only a few explosions of energy visible. The Sun could swallow our Earth in a second, with hardly a burp.
And oh, by the way:

Two Faces of Tehran

Yes, Tehran Iran is a big, industrialized city, with all the pleasures and agonies that are thereby involved.
 There is also whimsy, probably a bit better than our graffiti.
It might be fun to visit, sometime in the future.
