The lane closest to the bottom of the photo is designated as a Right Turn Only ( used to be Right Turn or Straight ahead )..

The Center lane is for cyclists ... I wouldn't ride on that ..

Lane where the car is is designated as Left Turn or Straight ahead ..

Yet, if a cyclist is going Straight ahead ..They Must Dodge cars !

Who re-striped the pavement did a good job -

But it is stupid .. not to even mention not safe
NCDOT [ North Carolina Dept of Transportation is the guilty party ] ..

When this was brought up at a City Council Meeting ..

Our Mayor was told we have to wait for NCDOT to fix it ..

His reply, "If they don't get out here and fix it - I'll do it !"

[not unuusal for him -- have seen him on riding mower when the grass on the exit or entrance ramps to the Interstate gets too high - he doesn't wait for NCDOT -- gets out there and cuts it himself]

Won't be surprised if I drive over that way and he has paint brush in his hand - he doesn't like to wait for the 'powers that be "

This poor little vessel, in need of rescue, has an interesting method of going astern.
It is fitted with "Kitchen" gear (buckets).

What is this?

Detail from Henry Holiday's illustration to the back cover of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark (1876).

I don't unterstand this pattern (if it is a pattern).
Perhaps it is not meant to be understood. Or it is no "meaningful" pattern at all.

The pattern is clearly distinguishable from its environment. The letter-like shapes shown below the image are the result of very simple linear transformations using GIMP. Yet, I still can't say whether these are letters or just meaningless shapes.

Is there any meaning? Should the "letters" be rotated and/or mirrored again? Is there a word game ("Anne I" beside a buoy) related to Anne Boleyn? (In his illustrations, Holiday clearly alluded to other historical figures related to Anne Bolyen, e.g. Queen Elizabeth I.)

Segment of an illustration by Henry Holiday (cut by Joseph Swain) in Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark, 1876

The segment on the lower right side is Charles Darwin's Tree of Evolution or Tree of Life sketch in his 1st notebook, page 36, 1837-1838. I learned, that Darwin did not keep his notebook secret after the publication of On the Origin of Species, but I do not know of any presentation of his sketch before 1876. Thus, the resemblance between the "weed" and Darwin's evolutionary tree sketch propably is purely incidental.

Postprocessing: GIMP perspective transformation tool

Questions:
(1) When did Charles Darwin publish a facsimile of his sketch fo the first time? When (e.g. in lectures etc.) was it presented for the first time?
(2) Or is there a completely different explanation? Holiday's "weed" also could allude to an eagle riding a wild boar.
