A few key words in combination narrowed it down: more synonyms for journey than I had imagined, but the animal was easy. Its still a surprisingly popular story, and the title is characteristically literal, so the hits weren't that long in coming. OK, the animal was easy.

I just flew Southwest across the USA and the planes were all WiFi hubs. Someone must have attached a cheap-assed antenna onto the fuselage(s).
I am kidding about everything except the "cheap-assed" part. That looks like a home job, if not an antenna. Maybe the aerodynamics of that particular plane were too good?
(This is not an obscure answer. I am currently clueless.)

Is the picture oriented vertically? Top is up, ground is down.

Right, the $200,000 part is mounted on the barrel, not the bung.

Ah, of course. And I was just about to bail out on this one. It was a Dandy. Actually a $194,300 part. 5,800 turned up in the bank.

Well, lets see, this has been a busy little place. Wagga could be thinking about some brief unpleasantness about 30 years back, involving an inconvenient occupation, disputed claims, a particularly nasty flying fish: who knew Sheffield steel could burn?

New: What In The World Happened Here? CXXXI (131)getting back to our roots... these animals are not in heat but they might be hot Hot wildlife in Google produces a lot of links to a failed plant in Ukraine, which this picture does not show. I was going to give up and then I recognized Bullwinkle Ridge in the background.

cars driving on the right side of the road.
shadows suggest top of picture is north (if our hemisphere)
weird building some sort of museum? modified lighthouse?
rocky coast on right must be the ocean, beach side is protected side I assume.
no palm trees seen. Is this New England somewhere?

Can't the shadows also mean the top could be south, even if within our hemisphere?
