Mystery Photo, November 7, 2017

Here's a little challenge for you. I like to think that I'm doing a good deed, stimulating your mind, to keep it active through your dotage. Don't worry about running out to buy Sudoku books, or the New York Times crossword puzzle. You can still play along with Jeopardy, though.

I'm branching out from the parking lot pennies (another one's coming up!) to provide a new image for you to decipher. Again, I apologize for that time the penny was nowhere in the photo. That was not intentional!

Are you ready? Get your glasses if you use them. Make sure you have proper lighting. Put on your thinking cap. Here it comes...

What do you make of THIS?

I don't mean to plant suggestions. Do you have one in your house? Does this call for an exterminator? Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral? Do you wish you had one? Can Hick sell it at his storage shed store? Would those Antiques Roadshow twins come a-runnin' to examine it? Should Jack and my Sweet, Sweet Juno be vaccinated against it? Does it thrive in my dark basement lair? Would people cut line in a convenience store to get the last one? Would kids be sent home from school if caught with it, and not allowed to return until they used a special shampoo? Is it looking back at you? Is it undergoing mitosis? Would it implant itself in Sigourney Weaver to be transported to another planet?

Maybe I'm not fooling anyone. Maybe you'll all know exactly what it is. You can guess in the comments, or declare for a fact. Be specific, in case there's a tie for the non-prize.

NO PRIZES!

I'll reveal the answer tomorrow.
