The Treasure of the day:
Found at the Thrift Shop with a bunch of Paraphernalia that suggests that someone took this all a bit too seriously.
Why Not? Mr. Tickles has his KY Jelly (or Jam, as I imagine it), some like their three-in-one, and for the Sapiophile, well, add this to the bedside table with my copy of James Joyce's "Ulysses", I mean, really, it can't hurt...

I remember this from the 70's, the supposed ability to photograph the invisible soul or aura that surrounds all living (and many dead or inanimate) things. So - imagine my excitement when I turned this up in a thrift shop - bargain priced at a mere $125.
Of course, it doesn't do that at all, although there's enough of a market I'm sure that you could do pretty well with it.
That said, I'm pretty sure it would be easy enough to write a computer program that would digitally create an aura effect and spare you the handling of film and the other inconveniences. Still, a great prop for any ghostbusters or psychic researchers...

I'd actually been looking for these for a while, and today, well, today was the day:
All appropriately labelled with frequency and correlating Chakra...(Throat, Third Eye, Solar Plexus, etc.)
Not a "deal", but less than I'd pay on TEMU, and, irregardless, I'm building credit it the local community...soon to be a Shaman.
Actually, already a Shaman, just acquiring the props...

Thursday evening, the boy having repossessed his car, I take the bus out the Balfour and spend an hour or so scouring the beach.
Not unproductive, although it's getting rather picked.
Left, a well knapped scraper, right-centre (brown) a broken arrowhead, top right a peculiarly broken piece of quartzite, which may or may not have been a scraper or tool, and under the loonie a tiny quartz point (close up it shows sign of being worked, although it just may be the grain of the quartz).
****
Adding these to the box of arrowheads I've already collected - some, museum quality, others, well, a little ruder, but it's becoming quite the collection.
The next trip, probably after the fall rains, late October when the ferry's had a chance to churn up some new rocks.
