Weekend Edition - Angles and Perspectives.

No recommendations this week ... just 4 images that made me think and smile.

ONE

This car is owned by a speech therapist.

My daughter spotted it while driving to the beach this morning.

Obviously (I hope) if I had that numberplate I'd look obnoxious. Ick.

But when you know it belongs to a speech therapist I think it looks kinda neat. It's got a smile on its face.

TWO

I spotted this one on my iPad's Maps app, while hunting for a place to go to dinner on Thursday.

No: we didn't go to dinner there!

Yes: it looks like someone has set up a vasectomy clinic in a trailer / caravan park.

But: When you zoom out, you see that the trailer park shares the same street address as a medical centre.

Not the best marketing for Snip ... but maybe there's a business opportunity for someone living in the park?

THREE

I dunno why but when I saw the previous image I started wondering if Stonehenge started out as an ancient trailer park:

Thanks Mr GPT!

According to ChatGPT ... it did (it didn't really).

FOUR

Mocked!

This is my daughter's flat's stove / oven / cooker ... depending on where you live.

Is it mocking us?

Or is it just having fun. 😜
