Sunny now, but it’s been only a few days since this ….
Snow in Uruguay!
OK, so it didn’t fall from the sky; the peril of not having a frost-free freezer in a place where the relative humidity rarely dips below 60%.
Moldy lumber
Dusk perspective
Interesting change of perspective: instead of radiating from the sun, shadows converge away from it.

First swim of the season
No no no … not mine!
No fat! No cholesterol!
In bell peppers: amazing? How do they do that? Must be genetic modification….
“If at first you don’t succeed” redux
Ah yes, has only been a few days since I posted about an obvious bit of bad planning.
Looking back toward where I took that picture, you can see that it subsequently occurred to someone to make a clean-out access.
My “redux” refers to another 7-day wonder a few blocks up. See here and here.
*Sigh.* At least they tried to fix it.
Not real clever (Géant)
Granted, not a big thing, but always amazes me to see this in Géant, a French Wal-Mart sort of thing. This is a view from inside. Except for the two shallow ones abandoned in front, you cannot get a shopping cart after going through the security entrance. You have to go back out and pull one out backwards.
In addition to the inefficiency of that, instead of all shopping carts getting equally wear and tear, the same ones get used over and over. Granted, this is only some of their carts, but really, what as someone (not) thinking?
Battery recycling
At Tienda Inglesa, amidst potted plants, posters and banners, motorcycles, video rentals (?), and even lurking dinosaurs, there exists a place to recycle batteries (pilas). Who knew?
