Hehe. Well, actually, except turtles, snails and such I don't think there are animals that are easy to catch (I got enough such experiences with cats, dogs and horses)

I already knew they could jump far and quite high, but did not except them to be able to jump vertically so intensly.

I have just taken a closer look to the balconies architecture and taken measures.
There are a few flat surfaces (floor of the balcony and top of each guardrail) that it has probably used. Still, the highest distance is a bit more than 180 cms and that suppose it can aim right enough to go from one flat surface to another (otherwise, it can lead to a fall of something like 10 meters).

Eek

My balcony is starting to look like the whole Apidya game.

This morning I found a butterfly hanging on the outside clothes line:


Well, I guess that with summer going away, those animals try and find shelter for the night.
Let's hope that the Apidya analogy will end before I see a giant hornet on my balcony

This has been just promoted as the world's most beautiful post stamp for this year. I think the reason is obvious

These docking slots for keyborads remind me of Amiga 1000.


(In the picture there is the machine for digging subway tunnels).

Those handles are usually fitted to facilitate the removal and replacement of heavy units, like those illustrated, from their rack mountings once the retaining screws have been removed.

If you have a very old 386 PC fitted with those handles, then I imagine it's either because it's rack-mounted or it's a very old, very heavy 386 PC.

Never Mind The Buzzcocks the other week reminded me of Personal Paint.

Check out the "join" me link. That sheild and the font are identical to the Salvation Army logo/font.
