When my sister used to get home late

Despite another hell week I kept my humor blog going every day. Enjoy this now because I don't see how I can do that again.

• MiSTed: Safety First (part 14 of 16)

Monday after Anthrohio we went to the Olentangy Park in Columbus to find a letterbox. We succeeded. Here's pictures.

So here's the thing all the locals were jaded by: a deer! Wandering around, eating the leaves, at noon on a bright sunny day with lots of people around.

Deer takes a moment to look back at me.

We were separated by a fence, and a somewhat steep decline, but it was easy watching the deer go about deer business.

Lunch, you know?

The deer moved on and so did we. Here's a small skate park that had a couple people riding, at least when we went in to the trail; they were gone by the time we came back, so I'm glad I got a snap when I did.

Trivia: The best estimates for the increase in the length of a synodic orbit of the Moon --- the time from one New Moon to the next --- between 1900 and 2100 is less than one 25th of a second.

(Since we need a leap second roughly every 18 months, this means the number of days this takes is reducing because the day is getting longer faster than the month is.)
