local friend had a "my house is turning 200" party and the snack table was off the chain
alt text
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!

A 1-qt mason jar filled with several different shades of small peppers and brine.
…but I did pickle a big jar of shishito peppers the other day, and they’re quite tasty.
No thank you

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"

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. ❤️

Tidying up a few weeks ago I rediscovered a box of toy soldiers I'd stored away, so I started having some fun with the camera again. Early days but I would like to get better at these shots.
Anyone walking by and sees a sixty year old bloke playing with his toy soldiers in the yard is welcome to join me

An artist I know, took the crawling toy soldiers, and made them into necklace charms.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 I recall someone used to melt/mould them into huge bowls, soldiers features still visible post melt, and sell for heaps

Merged photos from Martian roverb left half of image has a yellow sky right half has blue sky
To celebrate Curiosity's 5,000th Martian day, the team put together this postcard. It features two panoramic views: blue for morning shots and yellow for dusk scenes.

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.

hello from the last two li’l guys i left around the office
wrote a long ramble, decided to spare y’all for today. maybe the whole spiel another time.
long-short, today gave me two sharp reminders why i need to move on from my job (yet another sudden teammate layoff, followed by witnessing yet another excruciating bullying by the CEO in a meeting)
y’all got any vibes, job-hunting tips, or just general encouragement to get my ass on the moving-on-with-your-life express, put ‘em here
thanks for always listening and supporting.
