It is yet intriguing, Jack, especially the colors and that harsh metal frame.  Something seems a bit incongruous, but it is not displeasing.  In fact, I rather like it.

Well, I rather like it, too. It appeals to the child in me. You know, back before you knew the name and use of everything and things were just mysterious....things.

Hi Jack... you and your special eye... I wonder what those hand made writings mean... and I can't decide if that is more simple or more elaborated than "proprety of ben's grocery store".

Hmmm . . . a new game by Niantic, the original manufacturer of Pokemon Go (at least according to a website named Quartz).  The yellow hunters toward the bottom 0f the gizmo must reach and corral the fox (shown in red in the upper right) before it reaches the woods in that corner.  If they're unsuccessful,  the gizmo emits a very loud Bronx Cheer and then explodes.  It's obviously a rather extreme game.

 

There are a few elements that have made me stroke my chin before verbalizing the hmmm stated above.  Not only do I lack the ability to translate Japanese, but also it's hopeless when they're upside-down.  I also don't quite fathom what looks like a blue curtain.  Maybe Niantic intended it as protection for game players.  As a whole, the image is rather gritty which got me started in the first place.

 

Sorry if I'm more incoherent than usual.  I had a bad experience trying to communicate with one of our wonderful federal agencies.  If I mention its name again today, I could say something I might regret.

The thumbnail had me thinking that this was part of a smart phone with a game and I see that it is true (*_*) once I arrived at the larger image.  I see a red kangaroo leaping to safety and out of the way of the yellow boomerangs.

Yes, way back when the entire world was just full of inherently interesting. . . things. 

 

My, what we so easily lose as we grow up.
