Extremely lucky find and shot while driving on the highway (no I wasn’t the one driving). The clouds were so beautiful today and this building reflected them so well. Kinda looks like the building went into stealth mode. :0]

There is pride of accomplishment in the performance of whole tasks that can be held in the mind all at once, and contemplated as whole once finished. In most work that transpires in large organizations, one’s work is meaningless taken by itself. The individual feels that, alone, he is without effect. His education prepares him for this; it is an education for working in a large organization, and he has difficulty imagining how he might earn a living otherwise.

Panel 1: “What kind of egg is that, Jim?” “Could it be a Nuna from Naboo?”
Panel 2: “If only there was a device that could tell us that.”
Panel 3: “Ahhhh.”
Panel 4: “Anyone up for a game of rugby?”
Way too much free time on a Saturday morning. :0]

Made from old pine boards salvaged from an old Florida cracker style house and steel rods welded in my first metalworking class.

Lack of experience diminishes our power of taking a comprehensive view of the admitted facts. Hence those who dwell in intimate association with nature and its phenomena are more able to lay down principles such as to admit of a wide and coherent development; while those whom devotion to abstract discussions has rendered unobservant of facts are too ready to dogmatize on the basis of a few observations.
