I got another 3 !
I amaze myself sometimes. Posting my stats instead of my grid. My goal recently was to get more 3’s than 5’s. 😎👍
My measly streak continues. Good Luck to everyone!

The larger ones of these are used for telephone poles. The smaller ones are snacks.

Care was taken to create many scenes in the film to harken back to the illustrations in the Sherlock Holmes original stories.

My bedroom wall has my signed Buzz Aldrin canvas print, so, a little space theme is going on here.

My top posts were silly comments I made to “current events of the day” including the “sandwich guy” who was accused in throwing a Subway Sub at law enforcement in DC, and the “news” about Oscar Isaac returning to the Star Wars franchise.

Pro tip to older folks, and younger folks! There is something called a Golden Birthday (evidently) where the day/date of your birth and your age coincide.
Born on the 12th, then Golden Birthday is twelve.

I never knew that and I missed mine. 😫

I celebrate Prime Number Birthdays now! 🎂😎👍
Celebrate!

DealBook's Sarah Kessler talked with Valery Yakubovich, the executive director of the Mack Institute for Innovation Management at Wharton, about what corporate board members should learn from this strong performance by A.I. directors. The interview has been condemned and edited for clarity.

It is easier to see the crescent #Moon here, as the sky got darker.

Ok, a few more.
This is the Sun, left. It had to set before I could find the Moon early on. And yes, the #Moon is in the second image.
Setting sun is glowing red behind some trees and houses on the horizon at sunset. A crescent moon is barely visible, above a pine on the left, a few pink clouds in a darkening sky, dark tree line at the bottom.
