DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that all the way up to the mid-twentieth century,
crusty old drunks were hired on merchent ships just before an ocean crossing, so as to be used as
unwitting sacrifices to any
seamonsters that might be encountered? Typically what happened was that no seamonsters appeared, and the unfortunate salt was
tossed overboard instead of paid.
It's true -- really!

On the street where I live (yes, months after work began, it still continues...)



Downtown on April 15th. The sun sinking in the west creates shadows that reach eastward

But wait... a few steps away... reflected sunlight has shadows running in the
opposite direction:

If these were
sundials, it would be as if time were
running backward
