Here’s mine.

Golden Discs

Behold: the 1983 Toyota FJ45 Land Cruiser – one of the last of the original Land Cruisers (a design so successful it remained virtually unchanged for 30 years).

Restored (with a full engine rebuild) to Concours condition with period-correct brown leather interior and green paint, this pickup – possibly the best surviving example of its type – goes up for auction this weekend.

Mecum Auctions in Chicago, if you’re passing.

Last night.

Finglas, Dublin 11

Empty shelves after much of the bottled water was bought from Tesco Clearwater as over 600,000 consumers await an updated from Irish Water.

To wit:

Irish Water cannot confirm how long the boil water notice will remain in force in parts of Dublin, Kildare and Meath but stressed that public safety remains the priority.

Irish Water says the areas affected include: Artane, Ashtown, Balbriggan, Baldoyle, Ballyboghill, Celbridge, Clonee, Clonsilla, Coolock, Coolquoy, Corduff, Darndale, Donabate, Dunboyne, Finglas, Garristown, Glasnevin, Howth, Kilbarrack, Kilclone, Killester, Kinsaley, Leixlip, Lusk, Malahide, Maynooth, Naul, Palmerstown, Poppintree, Ronanstown, Rush, Skerries, St Margaret’s, Straffan, Sutton and Swords.

Yvonne Harris, Head of Customer Operations at Irish Water said the HSE will ultimately make a decision based on EPA findings of water samples…

Hmm.

Update:

All better.

Behold: the filamentary infrared dark cloud known as the Seahorse Nebula. To wit:

Seen toward the royal northern constellation of Cepheus, the dusty, obscuring clouds are part of a Milky Way molecular cloud some 1,200 light-years distant. It is also listed as Barnard 150 (B150), one of 182 dark markings of the sky cataloged in the early 20th century by astronomer E. E. Barnard. Packs of low mass stars are forming within from collapsing cores only visible at long infrared wavelengths. Still, colourful stars in Cepheus add to the pretty, galactic skyscape.
