A Bit Shy of Paint

The subject of lighthouses came up last night, and I remembered I have photos from Prince Edward Island that I've never posted.  This is the St. Peters Harbour lighthouse, oddly distant these days from any water.

More in Sorrow than in Anger

It seems the pace of alien abductions has really been picking up in recent months, so I thought I'd better try to visit Their regional headquarters to see if I could negotiate a deal -- maybe a few more cows and a few less people (sorry +Elizabeth Hahn!), something like that.  I finally managed an audience with Nyryx Underwingfeather Vyqqyv, and did my best to make my case for humankind.  But, in the end, he just pointed to a small sign on the wall.  It said "The abductions will decrease when morale improves."
Happy #alienabductionfriday !
