I am constantly reminded that there is a time and place for everything. For several years now, I have noticed and had access to the glass cylinder sitting on top of my science guy’s bookcase. But for the first time, today I photographed it. You see, he bumped the bookcase this morning, knocking the cylinder to the floor. It was a close call but luckily it hit the carpeted part.

A Galileo thermometer. Read more here. A gift from family. He tried to replace it on top of the shelf, but the morning sunlight hit it and that was that. I gently took it from his hand. At his quizzical look, I said, “I’ll be careful. Promise.”

And so far, I have been. 😉
