They’re building a new water front house on our street. They cut trees down, plowed everything up and put up the plastic erosion barrier the other day. Today they put up a split rail fence??? Looks like they’re trying to protect some of the remaining trees but I would think that would just get in the way of all the construction equipment. The picture is taken from a public path that goes from the street around the lot to a path that goes along the sound. Hopefully when they’re done, they will move the split rail out there to separate the path from their yard. Seems like that fence would be done at the end when they do the landscaping. Oh well, it’s not my money. (I couldn’t have even bought the lot!)

The split rail fence is a form of tree protection. It’s required by certain jurisdictions and ARBs. Other times, other types of tree protection are used.

Correct Luna . . .

. . . but the USSR did not release the first photograph from the surface of the moon to the public.

Surveyor? BTW that wasn't a guess of Luna II. It was Luna If I Recall Correctly.SmileWavy

You are correct, Luna 9 built and operated by the USSR is correct, but the first image was NOT first released to the general public by the Soviets.

The first photo from the surface of the moon was intercepted by the Jodrell Bank observatory in England. They published the photo the next day in a local paper called the Calgary Herald beating the Soviets to the punch.

Sometimes you just have to give in and let your body heal.

Glad Missus Les is feeling better!
Absolutely terrifying. Thank goodness it ended well.

Another terrifying event. I understand that raccoons can be very dangerous. Thank goodness this worked out well.

I'm super impressed with this cool-headed mom. She takes her time to get a hold of the racoon by the scruff of the neck, holds it at arms length, gets her kid inside, and warns the neighbor to get inside before tossing it. Incredible!
