Panther City

Way back in the 1870's, Dallas tried to insult Fort Worth, but it BACKFIRED! I surely do love me some fierce, quirky Fort Worth Spirit, and her Spirit Animal, as well. https://police.fortworthtexas.gov/abo... http://fortworthtexas.gov/about/history/ https://www.dallasnews.com/life/curio... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timelin... https://www.star-telegram.com/news/ar... #100DayProject Day 82

Dwarf Planets

Dwarf Planets. I was familiar with some of the names, and the idea that they represented  ancient mythological deities and, as such, carried special meaning. This made me curious about the others, so I looked them up. Here is what I discovered:
Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture.
Vesta, the hearth goddess.
Pallas, the Greek Titan god of warcraft.
Hygiea, the Greek goddess of health.
Eris, the goddess personification of strife and discord.
Dysnomia, a daughter of Eris. Her name means “Lawlessness,” and is also the name of a disorder wherein one has difficulty remembering words or names.
Pluto, a god of the underworld.
Charon, the ferryman of Hades who carries souls across the river Styx.
Makemake, the Rapa Nui creator of humanity and god of fertility.
Haumea, the Hawiian goddess of childbirth.
Namaka, a daughter of Haumea and is the Hawaiian goddess of the sea.
Hi’iaka, a daughter of Haumea and is the patron goddess of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea, believed to live at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Orcus, an Italic/Roman god of the underworld and punisher of broken oaths.
Quaor (pronounced “Kwawar”), a Tongva creator god.
Varuna is a Hindu god of water and the celestial ocean, and of the law of the underworld.
Vanth (a moon of Orcus) is a winged Etruscan psychopomp who guides the souls of the departed to the underworld.

Jupiter's moons are named after his lovers.
Saturn's moons are named after fellow Titans.
Kuiper Belt objects are named after mythological deities, with preference given to creator deities.

Nightly Visitor Gets what He Came For

We don't get that much in the way of winter weather here in Fort Worth, but we usually do get a few cold days each winter. Here's the thing - As soon as we get a day in the high 60's or low 70's, my little gecko wakes up and returns to the Ring Doorbell. We surmise that it emits just enough light to be attractive to certain small insects, which then attract the gecko.

This video takes place at the end of the night, as morning emerges. I must say, it gives me an odd pleasure to see him enjoy a successful night of hunting. I hope you enjoy his success, too.

#100DayProject Day 80

Mid-Century Relic

Today’s #100DayProject video is a joint venture, so to speak - we’d seen this place in our comings and goings, and stopped to look at it. Kent took the video,  and then we sat down and I showed him how to make a video on iMovie.

So here it is, Day 79 of #100DayProject.

A Pottery Jar, an Old Superball, and Austin in the Early '70's

Everything has a story, and this one is about a hand-thrown pottery jar, made by one of Kent' college roommates many years ago.
Features mentions of The Zebra's Head (a head shop, formerly the Birmingham Balloon Company) in Denton Texas; underground comics, such as Yellow Dog, Hydrogen Bomb, and Despair; and Austin Texas in the early '70's.
