It would be helpful goofy if you would click on quote reply so that everyone could tell which post you are replying to.
It seems like omitting that step is becoming more and more prevalent on here and can lead to confusion.
Seems pretty evident I was referring to the "writer" of the passage on which the OP was commenting. Your comment is a good example of why newspaper reporters are taught to write to a fifth phrase level so the reader doesn't have to think too hard...we leave the big words to the opinion columnists.
...and we never end a sentence with a preposition...
was the truck running? Vibration of the truck??

He fancies himself the forum cop.... like the picture of the N.C. building.... he complained it wasn't in the B&W section.
I'm sure this comment will end up in the 'basement,' not the 'attic.'
...or the writer was trying to replicate the exact quote and transcribed from a tape recorder. It reads like some people speak (and I'm not just referring to politicians).
On the other hand, could just be a 'rush job on deadline' and there wasn't time to correctly edit the copy....
...and, on the third hand, as mentioned above, AI is really, real lee, pour at gramma.
There is a hummingbird feeder on Amazon which has slits on the sides. Put fruit or bananas inside and hang the feeder up. The hummers long bill and tongue fit through the slits and they chow down, then head to the nectar feeder for a drink before heading back to the "slit" feeder. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTXF3FX/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_7?smid=A27BUQSY3E84IP&psc=1

Looks like it might be a natural spring that was "piped" so it flows into the basin so horses could drink and the outflow used to go into a small stream, but now goes into the city's sewers. Would the street happen to be Spring Street, or Road, or Alley??? Neat picture. A town where I worked had a central park across from the courthouse and a similar granite tank with a natural spring running into it. As many times as I've seen that structure, I know it has a date carved into the granite, but I can't remember it....
suggestion: get the camera on or close to the ground and shoot 'up the slope of the plants'. Don't know what it will look like, but the growth of the plants suggests a hillside....so a 'landscape' of the bunched plants.
On my 105th birthday, I'm going to shoot a 102 on the golf course, then, in the afternoon, get shot by an irate husband as I'm diving out of the bedroom window.... Yup, that's the plan....

Perception and attitude.
The MMR shots worked well for years, then the anti-vaxers said no.
So guess what's back....
No concept that the MMR shots were keeping it in check.
MMR stands for Mumps, Measles, Rubella, aka German Measles.
As with several on this thread, I bought my Olympus TG-7 to use while kayaking and hiking in general. I do go on hikes specifically to take pictures where I bring my Sony A7R IV... BUT here is another use for these smaller, multi-capable cameras --- as a 'first' camera for pre-teens and even lower elementary school students who go on hikes with parents. I have recommended either one to a couple of friends whose kids have gotten curious about what they see...with the suggestion that the kids "take a picture" and use that to explore the subject of the photo more. It has become a new 'activity' when they go on hikes and trips... The cameras are easy to use, yet produce very good, sharp pictures which encourages the youngsters because they can see the photos after they get back home.
