#MerMaid #FannyFriday continues. This time we have four playful #mermaids in the Blue Grotto on #Capri. Their fishtails are split as in medieval tradition and you can see that it starts below the fanny when you admire the one on the left.

In antiquity, the Blue Grotto was the private swimming pool of Imperator #Tiberius, who withdrew from Rome to Capri in 27 CE.

Down the rabbit hole researching cars again - as one does. Been on a kick of collecting brochures for the first generation Mercury Cougar, C3-C4-C5 Corvettes, first and second generation Camaro and Firebird, European Ford Capri, and Fiat X1/9.

I found it interesting that the Cougar brochures directly called the car a 'sports car'. I was surprised by this. It could be marketing mis-nomer or appropriation. Nowadays I think we consider these a muscle car or a GT car if you are of that mind set. But not 'sporty' per se.

I also read that they were successful in SCCA Trans Am racing. So much so that Ford pulled the plug on the Mercury racing team after the first season or two in order to allow the Mustang to prevail.

They are the same car under the skin - the only dynamic differences would be the longer wheelbase and the longer front and rear over hangs. Would affect high speed stability and polar moment of inertia I guess.

Tight cropped image of the front driver side headlight of a 1968 Mercury Cougar in deep red colour with the headlights turned on (hideaway headlight door is flipped up). Lighting is dusk/dawn and provides a bit of a dramatic effect.

60 years ago, Luigi Lo Rosso found a painting in the basement of a villa in Capri. He stuck it in a cheap frame and gave it to his wife, who didn't think it was pretty enough to sell, so hung it on the wall. Then in the 1980s, their son Andrea saw Picasso's Buste de femme Dora Maar in a grade-school textbook. Ever since, the family have been trying to authenticate their picture as a genuine Picasso. Last month, it was certified. Here's more from CNN.
