REFLECTIONS

My daughter bought me a Storm Glass last Christmas and w hile I was browsing the internet I came across a very strange weather predictor from the same time period called the Tempest Prognosticator. Both are from about the 1860's. First let me show you the Storm Glass (Fitzroy Storm Glass) my daughter gave me. It's more decorative than practical but it looks great on my desktop.  Mine always stays in the same formation as the Warming image above. See m y earlier post:    REFLECTIONS: Search results for storm glass I have a theory that it may not work very well because the liquid is in a sealed glass vessel.  It can react to the temperature of the room; maybe even some sort of magnetic or static force if that is possible. But it can't react to atmospheric pressure like a barometer. Now I've seen some old photos of storm glasses sealed on top with a cork instead of being completely sealed in glass. The cork is soft and should allow some changes in atm

I posted these before. They're great for Spring. It's time to start mowing again!

Corona virus forced this restaurant to improvise. I took these photos from inside my car. Notice the "professional" look of the table, cone and red tape holding the sign. In such difficult times of the Corona virus it is a work of art highlighting the creative ingenuity of the restaurant staff. At first I was afraid my wife was getting into drugs from being so bored. 😃!   But they are only cosmetics and a hair band.  Still, it looks very suspicious at first sight. The disorderly tabletop does not help. Maybe after the virus is gone order will be restored. What is the name of this plant? You have to keep occupied during the Corona "house arrest". Any ideas about this plant? My brother emailed me this video.
