And this noble painting shows just how grateful we all were to receive that wonderous gift.

Love that one head piece. It looks heavy enough to weigh one down. Stand straight or it might pull you over.

The Three Boffins of OW: Philip Brohan, Kevin Wood, and Gil Compo (from right to left).
Thanks to Randi for helping me pick a third boffin!

I am very concerned for our three boffins. Sandals will give rise to a great risk of frostbite during OW Arctic. The grease that floats around the whaling ships will keep the sandal leather supple though. Most importantly we can see that all of our work is keeping them busy with deep thoughts.

The good old days...
I can't help noting that they are not wearing masks, although they are outdoors and about 6 feet apart...

Haida artwork, 13 September, 1924. A Canadian maple leaf! I should create non fungible tokens and then sell these images for gazillions of dollars.

They appear a little like fractals. Is there some underlying meaning! Or rorschach concept? Ancient people looked at clouds.

Sell tokens Michael! Then you could fund lots more imaging of log books

Does the OW Gift Store still stock those hats? I think it would really suit me.

Then I want his jacket and whatever that is wrapped around the waist.

I want a waist so that I also can wear a copy of the kit around his waist
Best of all - those lapels. I wonder if you have to gently dust them with an old toothbrush to get the sand out of them before retiring to one's Bedouin Tent for the night?

I thought the hat was great thinking, though, I am too short to pull it off. But he's not all that tall, so maybe I could.

Actually, Napoleon probably wasn't small:
But, as the man himself said:The British waged a propaganda campaign to diminish their enemy in print and art, during his life and after his death. According to some historians, he was actually 5 feet 7 inches tall (1.69 metres), an inch or so above the period's average adult male height, depending on the source chosen. Other historians assert that he was 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 metres) because he was measured on a British island 28 years after the French adopted the metric system. Napoleon was often seen with his Imperial Guard, which contributed to the perception of his being short because the Imperial Guards were tall men.
History is a set of lies that people have agreed upon.
