They've done it again, folks. Been places, done things, brought the receipts. Willem has a bird you've never heard of, pretty, of course. Tav found a cute toad. Paige found a dragonfly, though it tried to hide. There are blackberries, yum.
Bluebottle noticed an intriguing sign from days of yore. He suggests that Dorset might have the solution to North Carolina's kamikaze truck drivers: if they damage the bridge, transport 'em. Yes, I said, but to where? We're thinking Florida might be a suitable punishment.
There are more signs. Also more Dutch art. Speaking of that bridge, river traffic has been heavy this summer in the UK, where everybody seems to be boating on the inland waterways.
You can spot surprising things if you keep your eyes open. Paige thinks he maybe saw The Doctor – or at least his vehicle. I saw an anthropomorphic narcissus, but only in my mind's eye. Then I grabbed hold of an AI, and now you can see it, too. Of course, you may wish you could un-see it.
Of course there is humour. And a quiz. And some more fiction, as Caiman and I work out the ends of our novellas and direct our characters' destinies. I am well aware that everyone stopped reading mine a long time ago. That's what I get for actually writing a book-length manuscript, not to mention the fact that 'metaphysical fantasy' isn't a common genre. Anyhow, we're almost done, so no sense in your starting now. (If you're crazy enough to want to read this stuff, there's a link below to the archive containing all the novellas.)
SashaQ has an interesting report about what you can learn from genealogy research. Awix has cinema. And if you fancy doing some writing of your own, take a look at this month's Post challenge prompt.
Delve into this week's issue, with or without fiction, and leave nice comments, please: it's August and contributors may be in the doldrums, same as you. Have a great week out there and remember to complain about the weather, no matter what it's like. That way people will think you are normal.

Quote of the Week: You know, I thought about it and maybe my boss is a narcissus, too. That would explain lots of things.
