I find cars to be reliable pieces of engineering where each part has its purpose, and when put together properly, all those gears and whirling thing-a-ma-jigs magically come together in a ballet of precision.

Christmas lighting displays - now before I begin let me say I don't expect you to go to the extremes, I do.  First, because you are probably sane, and for me, that train left the station in regards to Christmas lighting several years ago.

This cute little fellow was in our yard and appears to have lost the use of his hind legs. Singe has taken to loving him and keeps an eye on him as we try to bring him back to health.
