Equinox

[marcmagus]

Overslept by about an hour, but still got up in time to celebrate the equinox by balancing an egg. Took pictures.

Maybe reflections or something later. Right now am an odd combination of cranky (at Verizon) and satisfied (at biking, fixing Verizon, and baking, among other things).

Thanks. For some reason, at least in my memory, my father shared that particular tidbit with me; and I tend to trust him on that sort of thing.

Especially since it was combined with having learned that the trick to balancing an egg was to use a hard-boiled egg.

Stupid Egg Tricks

Odd, I had always understood the reverse: It's easire to balance a raw egg than a hard-boiled one. The yolk of a raw egg lowers it's centre of mass, thus providing for better balance.
