A loaf of bread...

I have such clear memories of watching Sesame Street. Remember this one?

This is bothering me.


In my Introduction to Political Methodology class we talk about optical illusions. When we use the scientific method we rely on empirical observation and replicability, so with optical illusions as a jumping off point, we talk about what it means to observe something, the importance of replicating methods, and how our biases and brains can sometimes get in the way of what it is we think we know. After many semesters of looking at optical illusions I have gotten very good at seeing the illusions. However, I ran across this one today and it is just puzzling the shit out of me. I can't make my brain see it at all. Can you? I'm losing sleep over this.

Wasn't too bad in terms of blood and guts. He had sucked out most of the guck by the time I could get to it. Now he is making those weird gacky cat noises. No doubt he will puke on my head while I sleep.

that happened with our old man dog & a RAT he somehow caught (old deaf dog wouldn't drop his rat prize / unresponsive to my shrieking / tried to bring prize in the door) - I called Jeff about it and he asked if I could please call back when he could understand what I was trying to say! hooray for pets!

Congrats on having (1) a fabulous hunter cat, and (2) the gopher being dead enough that you could actually catch it and put it back outside. :-)

You got it CJ! I am grateful it was mostly dead/dying and l was not chasing a wounded, only partly dead gopher around the house. Once he brought in two live birds. Not even wounded. Took me all afternoon to get them out.

Can't believe you were able to get the gopher outside. I imagine I'd be so freaked out that I wouldn't be able to do anything except run out of the house screaming.
