Mars crater with ice.
These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, show a patch of water ice sitting on the floor of an unnamed crater near the Martian north pole. This white patch is present all year round. Dunes are exposed underneath the ice at top left. Faint traces of water ice are also visible along the rim of the crater and on the crater walls.

The 1985 Winter 24 was one of two 24 hour car races to be held at the famous Circuit De La Sarthe. The drivers got lucky at the start, with a temperature of 4 degrees, the race actually started in the dry. The #92 Porsche would lead most of the race. Things would soon change though, the snow came down at around 6PM, by this point, it was already dark thanks to being in Winter. At around 8pm, in the heavy snow, Hans Stuck veered out of the shallow snow on the racing line to pass a lapped GT car, but in doing so, made slight contact with the lapped car, spinning it around into the heavy snow. Hans Stuck also ended up in the deep snow, with the Porsche now stuck.
But, this was a tale of comebacks, Porsche are known for being prepared for anything, and it happened to be the case, that they were carrying a shovel in the car. They certainly knew about the possibility of snow. Hans Stuck dug his Porsche out of the snow and continued after being stuck for 10 minutes. The #92 Porsche showed amazing pace to the end, passing the leader in the final hour to win the 1985 Winter Le Mans. This would be the last time the Winter Le Mans was held, with it being canned the following year over safety concerns.

"I was shooting in a local park and my original target was to get a photograph of a hooded merganser. All of a sudden, a red-shouldered hawk appeared and landed in the mud under the shade. Then I started to see this hidden frog appear and begin to slowly start hopping toward the water. As the frog hopped, the hawk just stared at it without much action. I fired as many shots as I possibly could of these two in frame without much thinking, and this one appeared as if they were walking together. Well, that’s the shot, I thought!" - Randy Wei

In 1978, an FM radio station accidentally played "Imaginary Lover" at the wrong speed. The radio station received favorable calls and opted to let the song play at the incorrect speed. Sonically, the vocals resembled the voice of Stevie Nicks, who later heard of the incident and purchased the record. Upon playing the record at 45 rpm, she said that it gave her the chills and that it sounded "exactly like something I’d sing, the way I’d sing it". While Nicks was presenting demos for the Tusk album, she mixed in the sped up version of "Imaginary Lover" with her other material. One of her bandmates, Christine McVie, assumed that it was an original composition from Nicks and complimented her. Fleetwood Mac engineer Hernán Rojas later heard that the Atlanta Rhythm Section learned of the incident and "didn't find it as funny as we did".

I was in Atlanta this weekend and drove by our old neighborhood in Cumming. I remember a house that was built down a hill. As you can see from the picture, the roofline is even with the street. I remember the driveway was so steep, the people could not drive out and a driveway was added on the back of the house to the street below.
