Dashing through the grocery store, I stop and pull out my phone. Call me fickle, but I have a new favourite reflection photo.

I was this-many years old when I learned the origin of the expression "a bolt from the blue."
Lightning comes in different flavors.
But can you name the different types of bolts?
This chart does a useful and interesting recap.

The Week’s Best Example of Making Merry
LOL! 🤣
Long before babies can speak conventionally, they begin laughing - making laughter one of humankind’s earliest and most important forms of communication.
For your baby, laughter (which typically begins at about 3 months of age) conveys much more than just “I find this… https://t.co/zoIYstbiNG pic.twitter.com/gM0PqCET7a

Poetry of the Week
This is not a loaf of bread
This is daily sanctuary
This is breakfast in bed
Or beans on toast for tea.This is not a loaf of bread
This is shared community
This is a soup-dipped crust
Or a picnic lunch for three.This is not a loaf of bread
This is tasty alchemy
This is a gravy soaker-upper
Or a gourmet chip butty.This is not a loaf of bread
This is a crafted recipe
Of sun and rain and earth
And oven-baked poetry.Notices

If you had not pointed out the reflection, I would have been hard put to discern the reality. Amazing!
Laurna – I know! I took it and I can see it just because I know it’s there. An interesting angle.
Fascinating!

Am I blind?? it’s like I think I can see it? but then I’m not sure – tips please
Alison – There’s an angled piece of sort of corrugated gray metal that’s actually framing for the mirror. If you look under the juice bottles on the top shelf at the shelf labels, you’ll see a yellow and white one that says $2.49. Right to its left is a similar label, and you can see that the numbers are reversed. On the bottom shelf (in the bottom left of the photograph), the red-topped milk (?) cartons are distorted by the angle of their reflection. In fact, the whole left edge is distorted. Those are the biggest clues as to what you’re looking at – but it’s sure not obvious, to my eye.
