This post is the 250th one since I first started this blog. The average is around 1.1 posts per day. In addition to the post count, There are over 570 unique images in the upload directory (excluding thumbnails). This averages out to 2.5 images per day since the blog started.

This is the Marbles Kids Museum on Blount Street. Back in August, I posted a photo of what was then called Exploris. I certainly am not fond of the new name.

Brand perception starts at an early age, and Exploris could sound stuffy and boring to a young person.
