'Bred Crumbs

12:10 AM "International" signs entertain me. Two of my all-time favorites are the one for Don't Let the Soda Machine Crush You to Death, and this one, from poolside at a Key West hotel, indicating that diving could decapitate you:

Those are joined now by the one in airplane lavatories, on the bottom of the toilet lid, imploring you not to throw untoward things into the toilet. What's great is that the guy behind the red circle-and-slash is throwing everything in at once: a cup, a bottle, a tampon (which I guess his wife is too ashamed to dispose of herself – and how strange it is that I recognize the universal drawing for tampon), a sealed lunch bag (no, not the Chicken Whopper!), and what I guess is supposed to be a diaper but looks at first like a whole turkey. And they say airplane food's bad.

Here's last week's partial solar eclipse, courtesy the trees next to my balcony, who conveniently cast multiple images of the celestial blockage on my livingroom floor.
