Me wearing a sweatshirt that says "Read books. Drink coffee. Fight evil."
I'm down at my sister's place for my birthday, being an extra set of hands while she recovers from surgery (she's doing well! it's a weird bone thing not a "get the cancer out" thing) and we did a very low key birthday hang here. Jim got me this sweatshirt and I really like it.
Congratulations!
But also, what’s the story with the weird wooden device clearly meant to torture cats behind you?

Happy birthday. I’m just a few weeks older, 58 is alright.
@vosechu It's a large loom with a small cat tunnel in front of it.
ΖΜΑΡΑΓΔΙΝ and ΩΚΕΑΝΟΣ

A cat named Emerald and a dog named Ocean were memorialized in a Roman mosaic over 1,800 years ago.
Nearly two millennia ago, a wealthy Roman commissioned an intricate, multicolored floor mosaic that depicted two beloved household animals: a cat named Emerald and a dog named Ocean. The mosaic was a key feature of a villa, which archaeologists recently unearthed from beneath the ancient city of Adramytteion on Turkey's Aegean coast.
The impressive villa included three mosaic-paved halls, a number of secondary rooms, and a network of pipes and drains that may have connected to a latrine. Visitors approaching from the courtyard of the villa would have been greeted by the largest, most elaborate mosaic in the residence.
Only two of the animals depicted in the mosaic are named. As someone entered the room, the first mosaic panel they would have seen to their left was a pale cat seated on a blue-green cushion. Above the cat are the Greek letters ΖΜΑΡΑΓΔΙΝ (Zmaragdin), meaning emerald. The relaxed cat sitting on a cushion suggests that Emerald may have been a pet rather than a stray.
On the right side as someone entered the room was a mosaic panel depicting a running or leaping dog. This animal is labeled with the Greek letters ΩΚΕΑΝΟΣ (Okeanos), meaning ocean.
Emerald and Ocean were likely familiar to the villa's residents, even if they weren't specifically pets.

An umbrella handle wrapped with handlebar tape.
The handle on this bumbershoot is doing that thing where the rubber turns into sticky goo. I thought “I wish I had something I could wrap it with.”
Then I remembered that I ride bikes. One spare roll of handlebar tape later: fixed!

I did that with a lawnmower once - so much more comfortable and durable than the foam that came on it.
Funny, Yoko and I just did that with neon green handlebar tape to discourage people from taking ours.
@cwhartman I just did this over the weekend. Far more stylish as well.
this takes me back ...

A young girl holds her hand up against an aquarium wall, behind which a few sharks and several fish can be seen. The overall scene is deep blue, and the girl’s details are obscured by the backlighting of the aquarium.
I took a bunch of photos at the Oceanogràfic de València yesterday, but this one is my favorite by far.
Went to Valencia in the spring. What a city!!!

A photo of a plate with a bulb of black garlic on it. Half the bulb is on the left, a couple unpeeled cloves are in the upper right of the plate, and below those are a couple peeled cloves.

I'm not sure if I ever heard of black garlic before moving to Japan. It is gooey and sweet.
