I’m still here.

A flea can jump 30,000 times without stopping. I read it on a Snapple bottle cap, so it must be true.

Dim lights reduce your appetite. I read it on a Snapple bottle cap, so it must be true.

More Siberian tigers live in zoos than in the wild. I read it on a Snapple bottle cap, so it must be true.

3.7 million bags of peanuts are eaten every year at ballparks. I read it on a Snapple bottle cap, so it must be true.

Queen Isabella of Spain, who funded Columbus’ voyage across the ocean, claimed to have only bathed twice in her life. I read it on a Snapple bottle cap, so it must be true.

The name for the space between your eyebrows is “nasion”. I read it on a Snapple bottle cap, so it must be true.

    I don’t believe anyone is eating peanuts at ballparks these days.

    I presume it’s a selfie? Nice.

      Of course, you’re right about the peanuts (and the selfie), I prefer to call it a “self-portrait”, though.

      Fair enough. What’s the display?

      • oneowner September 24, 2020 / 10:55 am

        It’s an interactive optics exhibit curated entirely by the Museum. Really nice!, even if you’re not a kid.

    Glad you’re posting. Cool shot. I can’t keep up with the flea. I just tried 🙂

      Thanks, Howard. I lost to the flea thousands of times ago. I’m good with it, though.

    You must toss out a bunch of Snapple, assuming you don’t actually drink it. 😉

      I drink it all. It’s made from the best stuff on earth. It says so right on the bottle so it must be true.

    Education is a snap. It quenches your thirst for knowledge.

      THAT”S WONDERFUL! Did you get that off of a bottle cap by any chance?

      • elmediat September 29, 2020 / 11:25 pm

        That or a fortune cookie. 😀

      I see a second career for you as a fact-checker for Snapple bottle cap trivia, Steve.

    Hi Ken. I haven’t been getting your posts in the Reader so hadn’t realised you’d been posting this year. I’m still following you, so I don’t know why the posts don’t show up. Anyway, good to know you’re still here!

    • oneowner December 26, 2020 / 2:51 pm

      I’ve been taking some time off from posting but I still have been keeping up with other blogs. I don’t know when I will start again but hopefully, it will be soon. Thanks for the feedback, M.

    After all this time, I just noticed the pun on your “about” page: “My first exposure to great photography….”
