What's weird is that I distinctly remember posting about this effect, and there was a slang term for it that I can't recall. No matter what I put into Google search, I couldn't find it because photography has changed so much that all those old terms mean something different now. It was definitely before the iPhone debuted in 2007. I feel so old now.
I got a $26 turkey yesterday for $8, because I am a super shopper. The thing is, I have no Thanksgiving feast planned this year. But with a price like that, I don't mind eating it all myself.
When you're young, you care what other people think of you. When you're middle-aged, you don't care what people think of you. When you're old, you realize that no one was ever thinking of you anyway.

I see from Charlie's Twitter feed that Joy had won a contest at a harvest festival already. Good on him to re-use useless giant pumpkins for a fundraiser! But I wonder what happened after the drop. Broken pumpkin makes good livestock feed. Did they pick up all the pieces and haul them out of the bus? Or did they just haul the bus off and never speak of it again?
