You won’t be able to see it on Google Streetview because they were still building when the satellite picture was taken. But it’s right where you see the white squares on the bicycle path. The white squares are also a sign, painted on the street, to warn drivers to slow down because of the bicycle path. https://musingsofanaspie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/netherlands.jpgnetherlandsFrom Ine in the Netherlands: These were taken right outside the headquarters of Shell (the oil company) in Amsterdam. I work just around the corner. There aren’t that many stop signs in the Netherlands anymore I think. Most of the streets near my house have traffic lights. Maybe they thought people weren’t paying enough attention to signs.

Does it still count if it's for an inanimate object?https://musingsofanaspie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/xmas-filmstrip4.jpgxmas-filmstrip411:55 - Stimming with Santa! Here's how my 4-year-old visit with Santa goes: I get on his lap. I sit facing away from him and never once look at him. I fiddle with the candy cane wrapper in my hand, examining it like it's the most interesting thing I've ever seen. Santa says something to me. I pretend he doesn't exist. I fidget with the wrapper some more. Santa says something and waves at the camera. I enter a state of serene bliss in which nothing exists but the wrapper. Santa waves some more. Santa tries to take away my candy cane wrapper. The screen abruptly goes dark.https://musingsofanaspie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/xmas-filmstrip3.jpgxmas-filmstrip354.35 - I'm intensely interested in hammering nails into a piece of scrap wood.

At first he's making noises and I'm laughing. After a few seconds of that, I look up toward the camera, suddenly oblivious to him. Frustrated, my dad puts his hand between me and the camera. Note the unchanged expression on my face before and after. He shakes my shoulder, tickles me, calls me, tries the hand thing a couple more times. Nothing seems to get through to me. I'm still staring at whatever's caught my attention when the frame goes dark.https://musingsofanaspie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/xmas-filmstrip2.jpgxmas-filmstrip2My dad is on the floor in front of me, just outside the cropped frames.
