messing about in boats

Took my beloved and the terrier out kayaking (his first time, to see if he likes it so we can get our own kayak and save on rental fees) for Mother’s Day.
We all had a great time, so, yes.

I spent several summers kayaking around Lake Union in my late twenties, it's one of my favorite memories. I loved paddling down the rows of houseboats like walking down the streets of a somewhat wet neighborhood. The big apartment building on stilts just to the north of all the houseboats is a wonderful place to paddle under, have a surreptitious toke, and continue the paddle out to the arboretum.
The downside is when you take a break for winter, then come back the following spring/summer, you think you still have the arm strength to do long paddles, but your body begs to differ.

Also, did the kayaks have a skeg or a rudder?
@fnerg yes, we love ogling houseboats and imagining a lake life we could never afford.
And rudder, always rudder. It’s so much less stressful.

Remixed webcomic of stick figure dad walking into a room asking "Are ya winning, son?". The stick figure boy sitting at a compute replies "I'm making 11 people laugh on mltshp". The original comic used Mastodon in the punchline.

That's Dr. Demento. He was the only reason I listened to KMET as a kid.
I can see it!
Same. I was surprised to find out the syndicated show only had the Funny Five instead of the Top Ten when I left LA
We were talking about the Funny Five literally last night (like, Dead Puppies is an okay song but is it *that* good?)

Stamps
alt text
A black and white image of several books of postage stamps. A pair of tweezers is holding one of the stamps on the right side of the image. There is a pair or glasses and a loupe in the image.
This is the latest is my slowly growing series on books and how we interact with them. The images are all staged to evoke the feeling of an "actor" having just stepped away, leaving the scene in progress as it were.
Some fun(?) facts: this is my childhood stamp collection. This is a scan of a darkroom print; the original image was taken on the Crown Graphic. I use the library's scanner to digitize my print work, and it will let you do some ridiculous things. It topped out at something like 4800 dpi which yielded a 1.3 GB file, bringing the computer to its knees. The edited digital image (mostly just to crop out the edges of the print and make it look like the analog print) is still a 50+ MB jpeg, which only Flickr seems capable of handling. So... Flickr is now part of my workflow, since once uploaded there, it will allow me to re-download the image in any number of smaller sizes.

Me and the mister
alt text
A woman with grey-brown hair pulled back in a brain and a green plaid flannel shirt stands behind a man who is seated. He is wearing a grey toque and black glasses and has a full white beard. He has one eye open for some reason. The woman has a hand on his shoulder and holds a piece of a cookie in her other hand. The woman is me and the man is the mister.
Not a great photo of either one of us but somehow I love it. This was before we sat down to watch the town talent show.

the curious case of the office chickens
alt text
cropped phone pic: a tiny translucent plastic chicken, sitting on a window ledge, with daylight passing through it. behind it is a frosted glass window, and below, a dark wood panel
it’s been hectic at work. i hate it. the only good thing about it lately has been finding these tiny (~1”) plastic chickens in random places at the office.
last week, i noticed one on a short fridge next to the office espresso machine. a day or so later, i saw a second on a random shelf on another floor. a day after that, a coworker happened to say “did you see the neon orange chicken in the drinks cooler?”.
he and i found three more the same day, and another coworker i mentioned the chickens to said she’d spotted another in the ladies bathroom on the floor above mine. no-one in office has owned up to it yet.
now there are at least seven of them around the office. i don’t know what person is doing it, but bless them for giving me the tiniest slice of whimsy to get me through the day

And while many would argue that this is a fake, made-up holiday just to sell cards, I would counter that we are so removed from our roots as social creatures who lived in tight, close knit communities and desperately feel the need for connection.
Here's to you being able, if willing, to make that connection today.

every holiday is fake and made up.
At least this one was made up by a woman from Grafton West Virginia in order to connect sons of the TRUE AND RIGHT UNION OF AMERICA! with their estranged mothers during the great conflict to destroy the racist! charlatan! losers! johnny reb and the corrupt, slave trading system he defends.
