As a resident of Florida for my 50 years, I'm going to call 'Shenanigans' on any city from this state appearing on that list, never mind the #5 spot. St.Augustine might be considered because the handful of tourist destinations are within a few blocks of your hotel, but if you live in the city and want to go to school or buy food from somewhere that is not a dollar store or a corner liquor store, then a car is an absolute requirement.Meanwhile, I've known many a New Yorker who did not own a car their entire life until they retired and moved down here. Just this spring I visited DC and spent a week using the Metro. That city knows walkability and public transportation. Visited dozens of tourist spots miles apart; only used Uber once and I was jealous of the commuters who could sit, relax, and scroll social media while going to work, versus dodging the swerving driver next to me on I95.... who was scrolling social media.

for me this photo series invites a lot of criticism about the curation of the photos and toys. it feels like it is offering to create a stereotype in people's minds. these kids are being made into icons and it displeases me on some base level.

Since they have his DNA, I want an answer to the biggest genetic question: What is his racial background? There are articles suggesting that he is "Moorish," i.e. not completely of European, white decent.

"Ibi cubavit Lilith et invenit sibi requiem."
It's based on the passage from Isaiah 34:14 in the 5th century Latin / Vulgate Bible, which states "Ibi cubavit lamia et invenit sibi requiem."
Lamia (of ancient Greek mythology), here instead referencing Lilith, the Mesopotamian and Judaic figure seen as the first wife of Adam, is frequently translated to the screech owl, night monster, or demoness of the night, a she-beast.
The full translation would be something like: A night monster lived (lain) here and finds herself a place of rest (or peace for herself).
Here being a tomb in this context. Interpretations include: That she escaped out into the larger world, that she was destroyed by God and is no longer dwelling there, or the creature returned at dawn and the cross has confined her eternally to the crypt.
She's depicted in the coin in Eden, under the tree (or in this case, hidden key) of knowledge, conversing with the serpent, as bolts of lightning come down from on high.
The banner in the tree reads lignum vitae, or wood of life.

I'm not sure they're playing with a ball. It is a ball, but maybe they think it's some other creature's egg and they're just puzzling at why it won't break open and deliver the goods.

it reminds me of an old quote from James Doohan, of Montgomery "Scotty" Scott fame from Star Trek, who said: The more they over-think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain
or in this case bleep up the electrical system ROFL
