Einstein’s Tongue—Y’Know That Thing…?

The thing that you find occasionally where you just don’t know what to do, and it’s frustrating you until all demons and infernal beasts break loose and ravage the earth like a play toy? Oh yes… I know it too. And it’s a shame when what is not going on should be going on, because everything leading up to it is going on, correctly, and for near two hours (two hours that could have been spent on something more worthwhile) you’re getting closer and further from the goal simultaneously until, at long last, just a few minutes before midnight, you find out that what you’re trying to do should work, and that there is no reason for it not to work, yet it doesn’t work.

It’s nice when, using the unfortunate and unfriendly alternative, you get to write something up that involves some real nice pictures, each one taken quietly and with near-perfect timing, under natural and sound lighting. Lovely Christmas animals taking their vacations in their pure, cutesy ways to make us poor humans tilt our heads and make those odd sounds with our mouths: the sounds that our creatures tend to look up suspiciously toward in silent quotation: “Who is it that’s cuter than me? I dare you to say.”

A happy holidays to every reader out there, and everyone else who isn’t reading this too, whether you know of this well-wishing or not. Grr-bark-woof. Good dog. Mraow-mraow-mew. Good cat. Um… Ehh-eeh-eeh. Good monkey…. Squawk-pieces of eight-whistle. Good parrot… Other creatures…? I dunno.
