Ringtail possums draw me back again and again to the above images and information.

What is not to learn from, and like about, such a beautiful, environmental, intelligent sentient who makes native, natural vegetation feel -- ;-D -- so wanted at meal times?

The final grade, at B instead of A, and the plot summary combine to convince me to check around for this season-4 episode.

It intrigues me that Opie is not a better student. Is it something that is unique to him or is there something from one or both parents?

Public schools below college level once made two grades per class per student, one objectively for course work and another subjectively for course-work effort.

What would Opie get as a course-work effort grade?

The comment two boxes down, on Oct. 31, 2014, by Mira, that "He was certainly one of a kind in his day, and inspired so many modern painters. I love it when some of the "distinctive," as you say, artists of the past enter the canon. I have a feeling there may have been many who diverged from the norm(s) of their day and place but who nevertheless created small masterpieces. Some of them are rediscovered, but I think many, way too many, are forgotten, or are present only in the pages of art journals for the academia" continues as thought-provoking.

One artist lost for centuries but rediscovered is Georges de La Tour (Mar 13, 1593-Jan, 30, 1652).

Cat crocodiles with armor-less bodies and armor-full tails intrigue me.
Their tails and their whiskers let feline sentients locate themselves within their environments.

Might cat crocodiles have been as savvy about how they move difficult-ly or easily through their surroundings as the tailed, whiskered feline sentient 99.9-plus and recurring percent correct in where others begin and where they end, where they locate and where they will land?

Thank you for your comments below, in answer to my previous observations and questions.

All the cakes, all the cupcakes, all the icings appeal to me and are so photogenic that I feel like my grasp and my reach figure equally in really smelling, tasting and touching them.

But in particular (although I love, love them all), I love the April-rose cupcakes with their red, red-and-white and white options (that lead me to saying I'll take one of each color combination ;-D); baptism cake with its butterflies and its yellowness; the christening cake with its blue stars and its orange, purple, red, white flowers; and the winter wonderland with its snowpersons.

Might the latter, winter wonderland-prettifying snowpeople have been edible?

Nostalgic but ever-laudatory appreciation of the Mills, O'Brien, Taylor and Temple quartet headed me toward other child actors and actresses.

That quartet most accurately is a child-star quintet with Natalie Wood.

Who would forget Natalie as the child star of Miracle on 34th Street, the teen star of Rebel without a cause and the grown-up star of West side story?

Plaza Huincul is an elucidating place where the museum includes interesting information about the desert area's world-largest fossils of such dinosaurs as Argentinosaurus, Giganotosaurus and Mapusaurus genera.

So Plaza Huincul is quite a treat for those of us whom Wendy Sloboda's muddy-footed Barrosopus slobodai and world-biggest dinosaur fossils intrigue, isn't it?

The plot summary invites initiating one's own Nightlight-watching session!

It's interesting that the title, like the happenings, indicate a flashlight presence.

In particular, I like your last paragraph that "Also, I do have to admit, the idea of showing the entire film from the perspective of a flashlight was actually kind of cool because it gave a variety of angles and periods of darkness that helped keep the movie suspenseful simply because you don't see everything that is happening. Of course, i was also equally amazed by how much abuse that flashlight took (even being submerged under water and run over by a train) yet continued to work. I might have to buy myself one."

Might there be any brand-names or brand-specific designs that make known -- for those of us who, like you and your wife, "might have to buy" a couple three ;-D -- the particular flashlight?

The Christmas cake has just come out of the oven ! nom nom

Lucky husband, lucky you!

That's so sweet of your "stick thin" husband to leave your cake- and cupcake- and icing-corners waste-free!

I might have known since you mentioned his cooperatively, proactively merging all costs into a cost summary that makes DIY cake- and cupcake- and icing-decorating an expensive matter, mightn't I?

Derdriu, the cup cakes are iced differently as were practising all the skills together on 12 cakes.

Indeed, the most expensive wedding cake ever when all is added up .

My stick thin husband ate all the practice cakes, icing etc

Thank you for your comment below, on Jun 30, 2017, in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

The third paragraph to your introduction advises us that "I have done my own baking for years; everything from loaves to cakes to biscuits to desserts. The difference is that my family have always eaten everything I make even when it doesn't turn out perfectly , food is money ; money's food. Eat it ... and they do."

Who -- ;-D -- ate the practice cakes, cupcakes and icing?

It variesbwithbthe individual and thevinstitution.

It is a way of saying that the weather is very changeable, but it is not literally true
