Nautilus Shell



I spent some time shopping this afternoon and I found this great cross-section of a nautilus shell. Did you know this shell's design is related to mathematics?

How Tall is This Guy?



Mrs. Powell and I walked down to the bay this morning and found this giant version on the photograph: V-J Day in Times Square. I'm 5' 3/4'' Can you figure out the height of the solider?

P.S. One of the buttons on her dress is the size of my coffee cup lid.

Hey kids! The Desk Duck and I made to California about 6:30 last night. After we checked into our hotel, we went for a walk on the boardwalk and had dinner at The Fish Market.

We are up ealry this morning, and I'm trying to pick out what to wear. I brought 6 pairs of pants, 8 tops, and 5 pairs of shoes. If I pick an outfit at random, how many choices do I have?
