Gone, but not forgotten

Today is the clean-up-the-loose-ends day for the garden show, in which Wife gets to put in an extra day's work (without pay) to sort out all the charge slips* and stuff...

And then after she sorts out the inventory, sending some stuff back to the main base and adding some to local store inventory, she's done.  And can wait a few months before she starts dreading next year's show...

Meanwhile, the sun is shining.

*Can't process them at the show -- no portable automation.  Which, when combined with volunteers working the booth who don't know Shineola about running charge slips and sometimes don't fill them out right, means that each year some customers end up getting Free Stuff.

THE VENETIAN BLIND EFFECT, BINOCULAR LUSTER, AND BINOCULAR RIVALRY

That's the title of Younger Son's doctoral dissertation.  No, I don't know what it means, either...

Addendum re: previous post

Younger Son works in "psychology of perception", otherwise translated as "What you see is not necessarily what you get."  So the study involves how the brain messes with your mind when your left eye doesn't see what the right eye sees.  That's what the "binocular" parts mean.
