A slice of a rare meteorite type, Pallasite. Metal matrix with Olivine inclusions. Black metal surrounds yellowish crystal pieces, looks like the material polishes well.

Ginger Ale and Tomato Sandwich No. 1
alt text
Hyperrealistic painting of a sandwich (tomato and lettuce on white bread, split down the middle, with a single bite taken) on a white plate and red placemat on a table. To the side, with the sun shining through it, is a glass of ginger ale.

long weekend selfie

black and white image of a tired-assed middle-aged mostly-caucasian hipster doofus taking a selfie in a motorcycle side mirror. he is wearing a flannel shirt, windsor frame eyesglasses, and a stocking cap
spent the weekend checking in on my parents after their town was hit by (positively massive) hail and a tornado.
i was so relieved to discover that they were left mostly untouched when neighbors had totaled cars, broken windshields, broken roofs. hail did end up piercing their roof in one spot, but thankfully no water got through.
the hail did do some damage to my dad’s gigantic truck, which is a bit of a point of contention. he hasn’t been able to walk well since his stroke last year, let alone drive, and yet he keeps holding on to that truck. i want him to have a rehabilitation goal to work toward, but watching it rust in the driveway while they continue to pay insurance on it seems like such a waste. same with his motorcycle, the mirror of which you can see here.
since i didn’t have broken glass to clean up or windows to board up, i was able to do some cleaning for my mom, who is really overworked right now. there’s a balancing act between letting her cede enough control to be able to do things for her, keeping her easily-bruised pride intact, and keeping my cool with her distractability and avoidance dances. it’s slow work getting there, one piece at a time, but we are building to something.
i’m in a quiet place in my own life at the moment, but i know i need to take a lesson from my interactions with my mom - stop avoiding things, stop being too proud to ask for help. it’s time to unpack some tasks for myself so i can do better for them as they need more help.
anywho, that’s-a-me, that’s where i am. maybe next time you’ll get some pics of my still-intact lego creations i unearthed in their attic instead of my wrinkled-assed mug.

I'm stuck on "Lausange". Lasagne? Lozenge? Los Ange?
@ardgedee It's only Lausange if the baby's in France, otherwise it's Sparkling Lasagna.

I would have also accepted Sun Tzu
@artwells "All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we don't have to attack, we don't attack; when using our forces, we must careen about like a drunk teenager in mom's SUV; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are near; when far away, we must make him believe we are far away."

Two mangled shopping carts, seen atop a melting mountain of snow in a parking lot.
Two mangled shopping carts emerge from the melting mountain of snow in our local BJs (it's like Costco) parking lot in suburban Massachusetts.
Raindrops on roses, and snow plows and shopping carts...
Great photo.
Great photo.
Later, the unfortunate shoppers who were also caught in the snow plow impact also emerge from the snow.

You're in NOLA?! If you're able, go to Turkey and the Wolf and get a fried bologna sandwich. Or go to Mahogany Jazz Hall and have some absinthe.
or both
@bencmeissner we didn’t get to Turkey and the Wolf, but I’ll put it on the list for next trip.

Uly's getting a sister.

A black and white dog snuggling with a toy.
Getting her from a shelter in Texas. She’s almost a year old and is a Poodle/Blue Heeler mix. I grew up with cattle dogs so I am excited.
Uly just turned two. He see/runs/plays with his buddies (two pit bull mixes and occasional other neighborhood dogs) almost daily on his morning walk, but even after that he has so much energy and could use a pal.
Looking forward to meeting her!

Color photograph of a soccer match; a player in maroon is struck full in the face by a soccer ball. Two other players on his team are nearby. The ball has deformed to the extent that it looks like a hemisphere rather than a sphere. Behind him is a blond player in black at full extension, having kicked the ball.

West Ham's Konstantinos Mavropanos gets absolutely blooted in the face by Man City's Erling Haaland. (Marked NSFW at @joost's request; it's an action shot of a soccer game and safe for work.)

One of my most vivid soccer-playing memories is this happening to my teammate Neal and his glasses flying about 12 feet behind his head.
And the goalie's thinking, "there, but for the face of Mav, go I."
