Family portrait with horses
alt text
A sunny rural pasture with several horses grazing in the distance. In the foreground, a brown mare stands beside a young foal near a wire fence, while the long shadows of three people stretch across the grass under a bright blue sky.
While on vacation in central Oregon we watched some horses eat, including babies.
To be clear, it was baby horses eating, not horses eating babies.

I love this! Shadow portraits, so fine! Fade-proof family memories.
More interested in the horses that're eating babies, tbh. Found any of those?
Family vacation!

Grey-haired old man, his pretty wife and genius son take up a row of an airplane, in flight.
My kid just graduated HS, and will be bussing tables and interning at a chemistry lab at NU this summer, before heading to University of Illinois in the fall (Chemical Engineering with a music minor). My wife starts a 6 month contract in a week from Monday that will involve a lot of travel. I’m slammed at work with 50-60 hour weeks likely through October.
But first, a week in Central Oregon!
But first, a week in Central Oregon!
I like the idea of bussing tables at a chemistry lab.
Sounds like a fun, fulfilling just time! Congrats and enjoy!

Black and white single-panel cartoon.
A three-eyed fanged monster wearing a graduation cap and gown is standing behind a lectern with a university crest on it, addressing an audience of students (visible only as tasseled mortarboards) at a commencement ceremony.
Caption: "And, as you head out into the world, your fresh, meaty torsos will be ripped apart and roasted to feed your new alien overlords -- wait, why are you all booing?"

Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos!
Is this the Jerry Seinfield speech?
@homerj I think it's a reference to academics and tutors who are addressing students on what looks like graduation day. They all mention AI and how pivotal it will be. All get booed (I've seen 3 so far).
The kids are alright.

Melanie

A woman standing in front of a building in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, wearing the "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon" medal.
Melanie, my sister who has lived in Japan for 30+ years, received the "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon" the other day. It's the highest honour that can be given to a civilian (non-politician). She received it for "Contributions to the Australia Japan relationship and economic development". As part of the ceremony she had an audience with the Emperor, who she said "was very short".
Melanie is the little urban overachiever of our family. She's on the boards of Asahi, Mitsubishi Estate and Kawasaki Heavy Manufacturing, in addition to knowing just about everyone in the world. She regularly sends photos when she's out with various Heads of State.
I just happened to have a trip to Japan planned when the award was announced, so I got to represent the family. Unfortunately not allowed to be part of the official events, but we had plenty of drinks with friends afterwards.

Congrats to your sister!
おめでとう!
BTW, for someone who is both (1) a woman and (2) a foreigner to achieve that level of corporate success in Japan is truly impressive. (For example, here's the Board of Mitsubishi Estate: https://www.mec.co.jp/en... )

Starting my first mural on Monday
alt text
Photograph of a blank wall on the side of a housing block. The wall is about 3 stories high.
More than two years ago, one of my neighbors suggested to me that I should paint a mural on an ugly wall at a square down my street.
It took me forever to scrape enough courage together to get funding from various kinds of places. But I managed. I got the money. I got the permits. I got the scissor lift. I got the wall renovated and plastered. I got the paint and a colleague that is going to help me. And it should be ready by June 13, because then it’s going to be officially opened.
I found the whole process rather nerve-racking because all in all it’s about €18,000. But my goodness, will I be happy and relieved once it’s done.

New car day for us

Teal colored low-poly ass overgrown hatchback of an electric car
I have been seriously researching and shopping for a couple of months, and closed the deal yesterday on a new (to us) EV, a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5.
We had our Honda Fit for just a few months short of 10 years, and it was a total champ. That Fit took us from MN to as far as Oregon and Toronto and back. We loved the small size and large cargo space, the purple color, the utter reliability, but the spike in gas prices, the flood of good options fresh off of 3-year leases and good trade-in value for the Fit made it feel like the right time to make a change.
Not enough miles with it yet to be past the honeymoon period, but so far it's total blast to drive and i'm hopeful it'll be as good to us for the next many years as that Honda.

Congrats! The Ioniq 5 is one of my upgrade pics over the Kona EV I've had for the last 3+ years.
Friend of mine bought one new and really likes it, though he gets frustrated with the all-touchscreen dashboard.
Ooo! We’ve been thinking next year we switch to voltage and that one’s on the list. Curious to know how it goes on every level!

an advertisement from the us dept of education that includes a logo "skills that pay off" showing a crappy AI generated image of two people in denim, a white man telling a woman of color what to do. they are holding wrenches, kindof, and there is a large amount of copper pipe mounted and floating over a sink, going through the surface of the sink, mounted under the sink like a grab rail, mounted to the side of the sink, and some in the woman's hand as she inserts some sort of non-wrench tool in to the end of a piece of pipe.
their tool belts contain many different hallucinations of wrenches, none of which are used in plumbing: socket, open-end, box-end, etc.

@pk the right energy for this kid, but apparently the "official" theme songfor UK banger racing is Lieutenant Pigeon's novelty number one hit from 1972, "Mouldy Old Dough". No, I'm not linking because it's a weapons-grade earworm

I think your top seeds are empanada, samosa, pierogi and ravioli. (Gyoza gets denied a top seed and uses that resentment to win it all.)
Tiny issue of scale: your pasty should be roughly burrito-sized, while gnocchi are about the size of a fava bean

Today was her last day.

Photo shows an image of a medium small brown short-haired dog with her ears flapping in the wind as she gets all the smells on her way to the Rainbow Bridge.
We gave her the best life we possibly could. The unfairness of living longer than our companions is not lost upon me this day.
Peace and sweet memories to you.
<3
The hurt of having to make that decision never fully goes away, but if you did it right -- and it sounds like you did -- the joy and love of your life with her will always chase away the sad moments. Godspeed, best girl.
