And here's me looking for a bit of respite ... ;)

Honestly, I've been doing the same thing on and off the whole afternoon (one left for today to lighten the load for tomorrow ... or maybe, if I manage, two; essays, no less).

Good shot, by the way - my "Wow" was more like: Oh no, more of the same ...

Do you ever get the urge to write “right words, wrong order”?

:D Rarely, fortunately - but it actually happens, and it did today. But more often, they smuggle in dialect or colloquialisms you simply can't - or at least shouldn't - use in writing.

I always wanted to write "right words, no sense".
*That* sounds familiar. Again, fortunately, not an issue today - much ...

The Q7 has an internal jpeg setting called 'Reversal film' whose colour palette I find both understated and appealing. I used it for this shot - of peeling bark on a tree in the garden - which almost looked like it could be used for a form of parchment paper, as possibly our ancestors once did.

In chemistry, they just string together terms like it’s some kind of incantation. “Electron, photon, emission, transition, XRF, valence . . .” Add a few articles and prepositions to make it “Englishy” and turn one of the nouns into a verb, e.g., emissionize.

It took me half a semester to realize molarity had nothing to do with fuzzy blind rodents that dig up your yard.
