Those two from the Sheriff's office at 7:05 should be spread to all the red counties just to enjoy the ensuing meltdowns. That sign in Polish in the pic around 2:10 is weird. 'Giszowiec' is the name of a town. 'Letnia' is an adjective meaning like 'every summer'. 'Pływania' literally means 'a place designated for swimming'. It's built off the verb 'to swim'. I've never seen that before. Normally you just say what it is, like 'river bank beach' or 'swimming pool'.
Imagine:
Q: Is there a pool?
A: There's a place to swim.
It's like you're being deliberately cryptic and trying to hide the physical nature of the place. So it's even more bizarre because it seems to be a lakefront beach.
I even checked the dictionary to make sure I understood it right. I did. Not for the first time I wish I were a native speaker. I'm a heritage speaker and I was lucky to get what I did so I need to count my blessings and be thankful.
This would be not suitable only for the robot over at Youtu.be; I find nothing especially revealing in any of these photographs. I do find, however, depicted delightful love between men and happiness in that. The movie stars are not as attractive as the regular guys. Well compiled comforting collection here. Thank you, Clint.
This will definitely make an appearance on YouTube…later. But waned to share some work for free subscribers too. I agree with you completely…the regular guys are usually more attractive. But folks love names. :-)

Sorry for the rambling.
Love the pondering and translations. So many mysteries in some of these photos….
