A Truly Weird Coincidence

It's the Fourth of July!  I was going out when I spotted this stinkbug next to the elevator.  I looked at it close, and realized it was missing part of its right antenna.

Which reminded me of this stag beetle from EXACTLY two years ago, July 4, 2023.  This guy was missing his right antenna.

And while looking up the post, I realized that EXACTLY one year later, on July 4, 2024, I came upon this beetle while touring JinGwanSa temple.  O.K., it could be a trick of perspective, but doesn't it look like it's missing its right antenna, too?  Is the cosmos trying to send me some kind of message?  Spooky.

Couple More Additions To "Mirrors In Odd Places"

One in a random nondescriptive alley, and one in a subway station next to a giant monitor screen of all places.  I just don't get it.  Is this a Korean thing?  Because I've never noticed this in L.A.  Are there these random mirrors in unexpected (and largely un-frequented) places in other countries?  In department stores and photo booths, I understand, but why in decrepit alleys where nobody goes, and then ironically enough, right next to advertisements in heavily-trafficked subway stations?  The American in me just doesn't get it.

Luckiest Day Of The Week

I just happened to look up, et voilà!
