Robin Williams and The Thinker Statue

Somehow it wouldn't be as funny if it weren't comedian Robin Williams offering a roll of toilet paper to Auguste Rodin's "Thinker" sculpture.

Newsweek reported:

"The "Godzilla" dust cloud from the Sahara heading towards the southeastern U.S. is one of the biggest recorded for 50 years. The cloud is expected to bring beautiful sunsets to states including Florida, Texas and Louisiana.

The plume, which is believed to be the thickest in decades, has now reached the Caribbean Sea."

I had spotted these on a group I follow on Facebook and they are located in  Port of Burgas, Bulgaria, but not much else about them.

This would be a cool idea to have outside of library anywhere.

THRIFT STORE FIND: RETRO TECHNOLOGY - 1948 ROYAL QUIET DE LUXE MODEL PORTABLE TYPEWRITER

If you are under 20 you may never have seen one of these before, but they are the predecessor of what was used prior to their being computers to create professional-looking writing and correspondence.

Unlike to today's computer keyboard where you barely have to touch the keys, it took effort to get the keys to strike the page and there is no auto-correct - you have to use white-out if you make a mistake, but there is something enjoyable about using it if you are writing from your heart.

I spotted this barely used retro gem at a thrift store a few months ago.    

It was hard to believe it was over 70 years old as it was in pristine condition, but the instruction manual showed it was made in 1948.

BUILDING REPURPOSE: Former McDonald's Now A Pawn Shop

I spotted this on a trip to Angola, Indiana to see a relative. It is a former McDonald's that is now a Pawn Shop called The Money Source.

In the back, it still has a relic of a sign for the drive-thru.

RARE ANIMALS: WHITE GRIZZLY BEAR

Photo:  Source

From articles on Delish and Bow Valley Network on Facebook a rare white grizzly is in Banff, Canada.

According the article on Delish:

"According to bear biologist Sarah Elmeligi, who spoke with local outlet The Star, the white grizzly bear is a rare animal. A typical grizzly bear is a type of brown bear that is very large, with a coat that generally ranges from light tan to dark brown. They have extra-long claws and a hump near their shoulders to provide extra strength for digging."

It seems the bear has become popular enough that Bow Valley Network took submissions to name it and it was decided to name it "Nakota" after indigenous people in the area and in their language the name means friend or an ally.

SAND SCULPTURE: Lifelike Bull

View this post on Instagram

CUERNOS Y MAGIA Para mí esos cuernos que generan polemica representan todo. En ellos eta escrito toda una vida. Una vida de un toro de lidia, en ellos está todo su sufrimiento como la rabia que le produce la actitud del hombre inconsciente. Hay están también sus bravuras como su increíble resistencia ante ese sufrimiento causado por el hombre. Ellos aun así luchan hasta el final, hasta el momento que mueren con una dignidad sobrehumana. Quien, que ame el toro desde el corazon no le haría un reconocimiento, acradecimiento y homenaje a ese magmifico alma en animal? Esto es lo que he hecho yo desde eson pitones. El alma del toro portador de esos cuernos ahora es libre, ahora es parte de la playa, el mar lo mantendrá eterno. Todo esto gracias a los cuernos y su magia. Lo importante no es lo que piensas y crees. LO IMPORTANTE ES LO QUE HAY DETRÁS DE ESOS PENSAMIENTOS Y CREENCIAS. Autor escultura realista con arena y el escrito sobre ella : Andoni Bastarrika Artista Autora de está increible forografia: El Taller de Arbil

A post shared by Andoni Bastarrika (Artista) (@andoni_bastarrika_artista) on Jul 31, 2019

This amazing sand sculpture was created by Spanish artist Andoni Bastarrika.

Per his Facebook page: 

     "What I'm really passionate about is the attempt to transcend and bring matter to life."

Here is the translation per Google Translate of the Instagram post from Spanish to English:

" For me those horns that generate controversy represent everything. A whole life is written on them. A life of a fighting bull, in them is all his suffering like the rage produced by the attitude of the unconscious man. There are also their bravery as their incredible resistance to that suffering caused by man. They still fight to the end, until the moment they die with superhuman dignity. Who, who loves the bull from the heart, would not recognize, acknowledge and pay homage to that magnificent animal soul?

This is what I have done since that time. The soul of the bull carrying those horns is now free, now it is part of the beach, the sea will keep it eternal.

All this thanks to the horns and their magic.

 The important thing is not what you think and believe. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS WHAT BEHIND THOSE THOUGHTS AND BELIEFS.
