OK.
I just can’t take a picture of it. I don’t have mad photography skillz. I tried, and it turned out like this:
What I want to show you is what’s just around the corner from my house. I can see it from my office window.

The kind of timer I’d need, say, if I were going to run a whole marathon. [...]

I’m starting a new category of posts. Perpetual Mysteries are things that I wonder about all the time, even though I generally keep my wondering to myself.
