fake coyote stands in a curbed triangle on a plaza before a sign reading “FAKE COYOTE - GOOSE DETERRENT,” behind which two geese waddle back and forth.

Sunrise in palm springs California from the jet bridge
100F + but loved every relaxing moment of it
I lived in LA for 30 years, and rarely went to the springs. Lovely town. Too hot.

square 2x2 image collage: unphotogenic flour tortillas 1) being rolled out, 2) cooked on a griddle, 3) piled in a kitchen towel and 4) sitting on a plate with black beans, red rice, roast squash, and tofu scramble.
my fourth of july tradition in recent years is making tortillas, beans, and rice at home. i always try to do everything by hand the way my grandma would do; it's a time suck but well worth it.
not the best or best-looking this year, but comfort food nonetheless. this time around i threw in roasted summer squash, peppers, and zucchini, as well as some leftover tofu scramble.

Grandma would be proud. I can say this because I am a bona fide grandpa.
I think they look fantastic!

Fossanova Abbey. What a name. Now I've got this image stuck in my head of Bob Fosse doing the Bossanova in monk's robes.
Hot priests are driving around in your area with articles of sainthood in the passenger seat. Dial 0800 HOLY GHOST

I put a copy here: https://drive.google.com/file...
It's almost all of the characters in the original set (I couldn't figure out where to put "hook" and "chair"), plus a couple of guesses I made about some other characters. I'm still playing with it, and I'll replace the current version with updated ones as I go.

A meme with the top text BORN TO PICK FONTS FROM THE FONT MENU and the bottom text CURSED TO LEAD USERFLOW WHITEBOARDING WORKSHOPS
Nostalgia for when I was 8 and graphic design consisted solely of "this font looks cool"
I still miss WordPerfect
when computers were fun
It's legitimately funny that Apple chose the name "San Francisco" as their modern system font.

Went berry picking this morning.
alt text
Every year during the early summer, my youngest and I went berry picking. We have driven into the surrounding counties, we have picked in the rain (including this morning). And we have our cleanup and storage down to an art.
Sadly, we were incapable of picking strawberries this season. My daughter had a life altering surgery and I had walking pneumonia just before and during the season opened here. While she’s still not back at work, her fiancée joined us this year in picking blueberries. It was just lovely.
It was a light rain, 20C and no bugs. We picked a little over a peck (~10 L) and delighted in hearing all of the wee ones there make exclamations regarding the size and sweetness of the berries that they were alternately picking for the basket and eating.
And, yes, I was one of those who purchased this shirt from a member of this fine collection of electronic contributors.

Around these parts we call that hand movement the "Hopoate finger"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
During a 2001 game with the North Queensland Cowboys, Hopoate inserted fingers in three players' buttocks and anuses. The first incident occurred during the seventh minute of play. The matter was referred to the rugby league judiciary on 28 March. Hopoate was suspended for 12 weeks for what one commissioner described as "disgusting, violent, offensive behaviour".
Hopoate claimed, in front of the panel of judges, that he was just trying to give all three players a wedgie with his fingers, denying he had done anything wrong and that he was "a great believer in what happens on the field should stay there"

A sign in the window of an auto parts store that clearly had more to it before the sun faded it. Now all it says is "When it has to work" and then a big white space and then "Trans-tune Motor treatment deep creep"
Seen in the window of an auto parts store today. I guess they are products made by this company.

Seafoam is something you put into your gasoline if all else has failed to pep up your elderly auto, after tuneup. I did this once to my van, long ago, the mechanic put it in but didn't recommend it as a regular practice. I had been missing the siphon break hoses off the top of my van's gastank, long enough for splashvwater and whatever else to infiltrate the gas tank.

A man with a large, unidentifiable pet. It looks to weigh ~120 pounds, speckled like a jackel, ears like a lion, raised fur on the upper back, like a smallish mane. The owner is in traditional Nigerian dress of his tribe. This is from a very broad show of photographs in Arles, France.
This pet is a creature I have never seen before. Perhaps I was lunch in some last life.

horizontal diptych, featuring two images of the ground. on the left, a discarded baby doll, face down in the grass as if it has passed out. on the right, a large rock in a yard that has been painted in vibrant blues and aqua green, depicting ducks floating in a pond, with the text “ducks and snakes” along the bottom edge
my standup for the extra long holiday weekend, padded with PTO on both sides.
hot damn, i love the “ducks and snakes” stone, which is just down the block from my neighborhood coffee shop.
this afternoon i’m simmering some arroz rojo, roasting down some summer squash, and putting on some records.

Most French people learn English in school these days, at least in the major population centers. However, it's polite to try to speak French first, then ask if they can speak English instead.
What happens if I just walk around saying "écoutez et répétez"?
Honestly, I hate to be 'that guy' but I'd be okay if every civilization adopted these norms.

Seen the documentary.... I left skin on the Alpine Slide and slipped a disc on the Cannonball Slide.
Been there as a kid. The documentary is dead on. Total mayhem.
If you have not heard the album "At Action Park," it's worth seeking out.
