He has a welder's mask and gauntlets, so he should be safe.
I just hope I can get good pictures once I've established minimum safe distance.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've never hallucinated a ringing/vibrating phone. Once I clearly heard my mother call my name when she was fifty miles away. Once I saw ghost lights; I don't know if the people with me saw them too. That's it for visual/auditory hallucinations, for me.

That's a known danger of cans, although I have never experienced it. Exciting!

Because books.
For a long time even after the kids were older, I used to think I heard crying babies in the night, usually in that pre-sleep stage where you're in between awake and asleep and sort of half dreaming.

I was sure the noise was the (equally old) jar of maraschino cherries, because I've only heard that noise from a jar, so I pulled it out and held it up to my ear (SUPER SAFE)...and realized there was no noise. I leaned back in to the general area of the pantry where the noise was and it was still there. So I started pulling out cans, expecting one to be bulging, and holding each one up to my ear. None of the cans were bulging, but that vegetable broth had something to say!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think we've pinpointed the leak to the pool, which is drawing 1000 gallons in ten minutes to refill. (Again, how could this much water possibly be invisible?) and a private co is coming out this afternoon for an energy audit. Obviously I should wait for them, but they guessed the a/c too which I'm still skeptical of-- the a/c works really well for something that would be aged/having to fight adverse conditions.

The pool may be a major culprit in the electricity use, too. Pool pumps are notorious energy hogs.

From an article about the opening of a Jeni's ice cream shop:
Both locations will serve grass-grazed ice creams, frozen yogurts, and sorbet, often made with local ingredients.
Now I have a vision of a pasture with herd of pint containers munching away.

Jeni's ice cream shop
They started in Columbus, OH, and pints of their ice cream are sold in fancy shops around here, priced more dearly than platinum. In -- what year did Avengers come out? 2012? -- I bought a pint for my birthday and quailed at the price: $11 for a pint.
It was good ice cream, quite obviously premium, but not worth $11 to my philistine taste buds. But it was my birthday and I had heard raves about Jeni's, so I gave it a shot.
