The "before" picture looks like it was photoshopped. Maybe it was done for a magazine cover or something. (?)

Just sayin'

Bones, stop growing after puberty and muscle and fat cells also stop dividing. But cartilage - that's the plastic-like stuff in ears and noses - cartilage continues to grow until the day you die. Not only does cartilage grow, but the earlobes elongate from gravity. And that makes ears look even larger.

The first photo of Obama looks like a wider angle lens was used -- note the barrel distortion.

Combine this with what you posted and it could explain the difference in the amount of ear stick-out.

We should put him back in office and see what another 4 or 8 years would do. Just for science, y'know.

I always try to dispose the old jack-o-lanterns the next day, but some of the neighbors don’t get to it til their jack-o-lanterns’ faces are melting.

Birdseed! Piles of it. Used to buy the jumbo bag of black oil sunflower seeds for the birdies and run through it rapidly. After all, the squirrels liked it, too. Sometimes we’d have small crowds of them - both the feathered AND the furry! Since we moved, the hummingbird feeder is a busy place that I refill routinely. And the echinacea plants we just planted out front are bee favorites.

I’m not sure about birdseed scattering here yet. We’re new to the area. Gotta figure out what they like best and the right spot to scatter it.
