By coincidence, I was just at Sandycove, where Ulysses begins!

Does the arrow point to the grain of sand that gives that beach its name?

LOL, it’s the Martello tower at Sandycove where the novel begins. I didn’t know its significance at the time, else I would have gotten a better photo.

A Sundial that Shows Solstice

What day is it? If the day – and time – are right, this sundial will tell you: SOLSTICE. Only then will our Sun be located just right for sunlight to stream through openings and spell out the term for the longest and shortest days of the year. But this will happen today (and again in December). The sundial was constructed by Jean Salins in 1980 and is situated at the Ecole Supérieure des Mines de Paris in Valbonne Sophia Antipolis of south-eastern France. On two other days of the year, watchers of this sundial might get to see it produce another word: EQUINOXE.

Thought about going to the Home Depot today & said screw that. If people have to work on a holiday; it can at least be an easy day for them. Most things don’t need to be open on holidays - people deserve them off.

Pharmacies etc obviously excluded.

Happy Independence Day!

Go have some fun. We need it these days more than ever.
