Children + magnifying glass + ants equals.The difference between men & boysIs the size and price of their toys.

Fun and game until someone looses an eye.

I also dislike practical jokes. hey are never funny, and sometimes dangerous or injurious.

I think Comstock will soon send you a Lode.

Is it just me, or is anyone else hot in here?

Did they forget today is the solar eclipse?

Love it!

Today’s eclipse is only partial where I am, but it’s “only” annular even for the folks that see the total eclipse. A total eclipse, however, is worth seeing So go watch it. But WATCH SAFELY! If you don’t have proper eclipse glasses, or a solar filter (that says it’s safe for use in viewing the sun directly) then use a pinhole in a sheet of paper to project the image onto another sheet of paper or other white surface. I won’t put this in bold letters, but if you view the sun through a telescope without a solar filter, you WILL damage your vision instantle and permanently. So play safe, and watch the eclipse safely. And be sur to brag to me tomorrow about how great it was, just to make me jealous.. {sob}

I smell burnt insulation !
