matchbox cover for "tokyo jazz club" with an illustration of an octopus floating above a drum kit, with three sticks
Saved to T-shirt ideas!
this is excellent
I'm wondering about that detached arm at the bottom, partially behind the snare drum. Did it drum an arm loose?
local friend had a "my house is turning 200" party and the snack table was off the chain

an impressively long table absolutely full of cookies and cakes and little numnums of all description. It is under a tent and the sun is shining. People are eating numnums
An older friend of mine had a big party nominally about her house's bicentennial but really just to hang out and eat indecent amounts of snacks. I showed up two hours into a three hour party and this was "all" that was left. 😂 House is in the background, it's a nice house. This lady calls me whenever she needs to update her email signature file.
Oh you Eaterners! I brag about my 150 year old house out here in the Rockies but 200... for America, dang! That's purdy old.
I am loving the sense of community in this pic.
Oh, I'll have the whole little orange topped cake! Wonderous!

I... I feel like I've stumbled into a weird timeline.
I had no idea "Idiocracy" was a documentary.

Did a Bird Watching Walk at the local lake (Herdsman Lake) and had a great time.
ooh, self guided or are they offering tours? I'm def moving into my old man bird watching phase. Bird Count coming up on the 19th of this month, can't wait
@Argie https://www.wagouldleague.com.au/event-de... was the one we did. Couldn't see an October one, but it should be up soon. It was really good. They have binoculars to borrow as well if you don't have any.

Batman Day

Illustration of three young women (Lottie, Claire, and Mildred) draped all over a muscular and stern Batman. Claire, the smallest, is sitting on his shoulder showing a lot of leg and pinching his cowl-ear.
I'd completely missed the Bat-Like Man story arc in Giant Days, too

A tan dog laying on a red upholstered chair next to a woman in a T-shirt and shorts. The dog is intently looking at the camera.
I post this mostly to scream into the void. Our dear dog, Pippa, was diagnosed with a tumor on her spleen several weeks ago. This is basically a death sentence, but we were very lucky to find out about it before it burst. We were given the opportunity to give her a peaceful goodbye on Saturday, the 5th.
On the 3rd, I got a call from my mother that my dad was in the emergency room. The cancer he has been fighting for 18 months had started affecting his lungs and he was having trouble breathing. They decided to put him on hospice, and he returned home on the 4th with a pile of morphine.
We said goodbye to our dog and then packed up to drive down to our parents the next day. There is still dog fur all over the apartment. My father has rapidly declined, from needing a little help to move between the living room and the bed to now being barely there. I'll spare all the gory details in between.
We're looking at hours to days left for him, but my wife and I have decided we need to go home after two weeks with little sleep and acting as the primary support for my mother. Other family is arriving tomorrow. We're expecting to return in a few days, but we need to swap clothes and grab some essentials we forgot in our haste.

I'll give my pups a few extra scratches behind the ears tomorrow. And I'll call my folks this weekend.
Love to you and yours. Loads of long distance hugs from internet friends. Sorry that you’re going through it. ❤️
yeah i took my dog to the foot of the Rainbow Bridge before a two week stay seeing my father to his.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Photo of two abutting signs with the same color and background, so they appear to be a single sign. Read separately they say "GREEK YOGURT" and NATHAN'S FOOT LONG HOT DOGS". Read as a single sign, it appears to read "GREEK NATHAN'S FOOT LONG YOGURT HOT DOGS"

Merged photos from Martian roverb left half of image has a yellow sky right half has blue sky

Timothy looked at the deep ocean sky, trying to see Earth and the war and the ruined cities and the men killing each other since the day he was born. But he saw nothing. The war was as removed and far off as two flies battling to the death in the arch of a great high and silent cathedral. And just as senseless...
What are you looking at so hard, Dad?
I was looking for Earthian logic, common sense, good government, peace, and responsibility.
All that up there?
No. I didn't find it. It's not there any more. Maybe it'll never be there again. Maybe we fooled ourselves that it was ever there.
