Last passionfruit of the year

Last passionfruit off potted passionflower - I got four this year - I brought it indoors and let it ripen until it fell off. Tasted good. I don't know what variety it is - I bought it at Canadian Tire and it didn't have label.

 

Technology Memories - Pocket Fax

 In the early 90s I saw a CITY-TV news crew with this little cellular fax viewers - a small box like a slide viewer which were like this, but had a screen inside:

It probably worked like the Faxview, made by Bolton Engineering in 1997.

They could receive faxes from CITY-TV and read them on it. CITY-TV was big on cutting edge technology and had an online presence years before other channels.

Gynobfuscation

Women could gynobfuscate as a reprisal to mansplaining. "Sure, Rayleigh scattering explains why the sky is blue! But why does it taste minty?"

Raven's Roost

Ravens roost at night in huge colonies in the winter - I don't know why some are sitting on the ground - some would fly up into the trees - they have a social structure and they may be waiting on the ground for their sleeping mates. They also are thought to exchange information on good scavenging places, and they make lots of noise before they go to sleep.
