    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Seems like sometimes pop/rock stars needs 25 drums or so in their set. He seems to make just as good a sound with just a few drums.

            @bachophile And that one looks pretty normal sized. Here is another "normal" size one from a rock drum guy. @mark may know him as they are from near his hometown (I think).

                          Thanks, George. Interesting read.
                          It appeared that the horse having the large amount removed from the hoof did not mind what was being done. Does a horse sense that the Ferrier is a friend and therefore stands still? Or, does the Ferrier tie up the horse so it cannot move? I'm speaking mostly to the horse in the video clip, that had run wild for a couple of years. You (generic you) would think the horse would be continuously pulling away and getting angry at what was being done.

                          From the article:
                          "If horse’s hooves are not trimmed, hoof overgrowth will occur. This will affect the horse in ways most people don’t suspect. It can lead to cracked or contracted hooves, thrushy frog, chalky sole, fractured quarters, demineralized coffin bone, inflamed joints, deformed bones, strained tendons and ligaments, muscle pain in the entire body, and more."
                          And that is (sometimes) why horses lay down, their feet hurt!

                            Horses get trained to stand still when the farrier is working. Sometimes, they're put on cross-ties in the aisle of the barn, and they know that when the cross-ties are on, they're not to move.

                              @Copper The andromeda galaxy is bright enough to see with the naked eye. You just need to be in very dark skies far away from city lights.

                              But, it is not quite bright enough to see the extent of its size or very much detail. It's very "fuzzy" looking.

                              A nice telescope will show some detail and dust lanes. but nothing like what you see in that photograph.

                              You probably remember this photo. I took a 9 panel mosaic of it about 20 years ago.

                              Mosaic-LRGB5-26-X40.jpg

                              The center panel was of the core of the galaxy and was the first of the 9 panels. It was at the time, a rather groundbreaking photo. Even earned a spot in the 2004 Sky & Telescope Magazine's calendar. Up until this photograph was taken, nobody had ever imaged the core with such detail.

                                Even here in an (almost) rural town, I'm lucky if I can see the moon and a relative handful of stars. Sad.
