It’s called a pica pole, and dear editor is holding what may be the longest one I’ve ever seen, Kerbey. The round gizmo lying next to it is called a photo wheel. They used to be tools of my trade when I was an editor. I look at her and think: Stop the presses!
pico de gallo! I will always come round for the food jokes (or food anythings, doesn’t have to be a joke or even remotely funny just about food) and this is brilliant 🙂
My editor-husband confirms what Mark said about the tools of the trade. We still have a photo wheel/proportional scale. I was a yearbook editor in the 1960s and had to enforce the deadlines. Not fun.

Wow. You just schooled me on the ancient times. I’m familiar with pico de gallo, but not pica pole. Bless you for making me feel young today.
