Pic of a very good boy.
Sam wouldn't eat any dinner, which is not normal and would not go out for a last wee before I went to bed.
He had been whining at me a bit more than usual but I could not find a way to make him happy.
He is getting on and we are naive regarding pets aging. I really thought he was going to pass away over night.
Mrs roonie is away and I had to contemplate telling her over the phone what had happened.
I had to brace myself this morning when I woke up. It was so quiet.
When I found He was not only alive but seemingly quite happy, I cried.

Aging pets are hard, all you can do is pay attention and keep them as happy and comfortable as you can.
@wjcstp We've had like thousands of aging pets. And until these two, every single one of the MFers have died on us!!!

A photograph from the southeast part of Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis. The foreground is all green grass. The middleground features two trees on either side of the frame. The background has many more smaller trees and a bit of the lake showing through them.
Its been a very weird time and I've been in a funk the last couple months processing the trauma of the ice surge here, the state of our country, the ever-closer end of my current job, the need to find a new one and some personal stuff.
But this morning, sitting in the park, things felt good and I liked it so I took a picture.

It's a beautiful day to walk in the park and see the good bits among the mess.
Link the good moments, hold onto that chain of events. ♡♡♡

He loves to bring nature indoors. Usually when it is dead and he has finished playing with it.

An assembly line in a drab gray room. Yellow spheres sit on a conveyor belt. Below the conveyor belt are various wires and machinery. Above the conveyor belt are robotic arms that spray red paint and draw eyebrows and frowns on the spheres, transforming them into the "angry" emoji one sees on Facebook. Above, a figure wearing a suit and tie observes from a glowing green window. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A very tired looking woman holds up a copy of the book Infinite Jeffs. It has a cover like The Infinite Jest only all the words on it are "Jeff"
I had to explain to the woman at the post office what The Infinite Jest was and why I was laughing so hard.

square page from a 1989 "students guide" published by apple, featuring illustrations by matt groenig. across the top in green block letters reads "THE PROCRASTINATOR". below that, a bear-like creature sits back in a chair with its feet up on a desk. its speech bubble reads "paper's due at 8am... but first i must alphabetize my albums, refold my socks, and step out for nourishing pizza." below that is the caption: "traits: never makes decisions (except in restaurants)" and "warning" this will work for only so many decades"
a page from this came up somewhere in social media hell earlier today. i had forgotten it existed.

woman at a huge card catalog
she in that help me obi wan position
Just think: there used to be an entire industry devoted to building these specific types of card catalog drawer cabinets. Kinda makes you wonder if there are abandoned factories with all the necessary tools in place to build more.
@dreyfusslugado There was a period around 2000-2005 when I was still renting when lots of these (and Globe Wernicke glass-fronted legal bookshelves) were available on eBay, too.
I know how to work this machine.
I was a high school library nerd, knew my way around those mysterious cards
@dreyfusslugado
I worked at OCLC for 23 years. We printed the catalog cards and shipped them to libraries. You’d think i’d have some connection that could hook me up with one of those beauties.

Fun fact: I programmed a Catalog Card word processor for an Apple II hooked up to a daisy wheel typewriter AFTER I promised to never work in computers again.
This is what they took from us
Magic the Gathering nerds go ape for these; classiest way to store their collection.
I really like it, but I do wonder why the cabinet is concave. That is much more complicated and expensive to make. There must be a good reason for this, other that visually pleasing and less monotonous.
Is the library in a giant round building?

IIRC one library I frequented had a cabinet against a convex wall @mare
The card catalog had its drawbacks, but it worked. It was far better for browsing a topic than any UI I have ever seen, too. I think it was the writer Nicholas Baker, in an article defending the card catalog and railing against computerized catalogs, who pointed out how much better it is for researching authors whose names are not standardized in English (like Doestevsky) - all the variants are right near each other, and you can see the ones that you did not even know about. I suppose replacement by databases and search engines was inevitable. But it was a brilliant pre-electronic technology, and it should command respect.
@thelonius I was a librarian in accessioning and cataloging for a few years. Even the master librarian would punt and say "at least the cards will be close"

I had wondered in his previous videos why Van Neistat had a bunch of hand-written words taped to his typewriter. Turns out he's a bad speller, which I strongly relate to. I randomly assigned 2026 as the Year I Improve My Spelling, perhaps a somewhat useless skill in this day and age, but I'm trying none the less.
I have a few words that catch me and I've taken to sounding them out as they are spelled, not as they normally sound.
E.g. "fry-end" is friend.

A man and a woman are naked in a tub. The man is balding and is covered in cooked spaghetti. The woman is standing, holding fistfulls of spaghetti to her breasts and has her head thrown back in ecstasy. A bottle of chianti rests at one side of the tub, while a glass of wine and several links of uncooked Italian sausage lay on the other.
I just noticed the can of Kraft grated cheese
That's usin' your noodle!

Haven't mained an M in ~10+ years, or any rangefinder since COVID. I felt it was time to right that wrong.

Aww. I have a 1950s Voigtländer camera that was my mothers favourite.
whoaaaaaa congrats! i've always wanted to try one (but sadly way out of my price range).
also WHOA, the lens! that's some fast-assed glass right there

That's a beauty and killer combo with that lens
I'm a take fifteen digital pictures of the same thing kind of person. Actual film cameras make me feel anxious and make me always ask if my photographical whims are film-worthy before even putting the camera up to aim it.
I envy the confidence and commitment real cameras require.

amazing! congrats!
preface: i pinky promise this is not a shit-on-your-joy comment! i had an M4 for a few years and i just could not fall in love with it. i lusted after it for so long and i'm not sure why but we just never clicked (no pun intended).
i ended up trading it for a hasselblad 500c/m and two lenses. thankfully, i am in love.
i fully respect the leica game and i'm not sure why they're not for me. very excited for you!

@robritz haha. No offense taken. The rangefinder experience isn't for everyone. I've been on the RF train this entire century up until ~2020 and they are my favorite system for spontaneous/casual photography. But give me a big ground glass if I'm putting my camera on a tripod.
@Sjixxxy mmmmmm large format is so fun.
what's weird is i love the RF experience with other cameras (the canonet and the fuji x100t). there was just something ergonomically about the leica i didn't love. and loading the film was always a challenge i couldn't practice enough to nail down without frustration.
BUT, i hope to get my crown graphic over here (from US to spain) this summer so I can start doing 4x5 again.

Photo of Red Columbine flowers in a messy native plant garden
So, my mom died a couple of weeks ago. Partly why I have been even less active here than usual. But one thing I started doing was posting on Facebook photos of the native plants in my garden as a memorial. She really loved gardening, and it just so happens I started to get into native plant gardening a couple of years ago. Anyway, here's some Red Columbine. I'll try and post some more from the garden to keep up some activity here.
