Photo of two abutting signs with the same color and background, so they appear to be a single sign. Read separately they say "GREEK YOGURT" and NATHAN'S FOOT LONG HOT DOGS". Read as a single sign, it appears to read "GREEK NATHAN'S FOOT LONG YOGURT HOT DOGS"

Tidying up a few weeks ago I rediscovered a box of toy soldiers I'd stored away, so I started having some fun with the camera again. Early days but I would like to get better at these shots.
Anyone walking by and sees a sixty year old bloke playing with his toy soldiers in the yard is welcome to join me

An artist I know, took the crawling toy soldiers, and made them into necklace charms.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 I recall someone used to melt/mould them into huge bowls, soldiers features still visible post melt, and sell for heaps

A tan dog laying on a red upholstered chair next to a woman in a T-shirt and shorts. The dog is intently looking at the camera.
I post this mostly to scream into the void. Our dear dog, Pippa, was diagnosed with a tumor on her spleen several weeks ago. This is basically a death sentence, but we were very lucky to find out about it before it burst. We were given the opportunity to give her a peaceful goodbye on Saturday, the 5th.
On the 3rd, I got a call from my mother that my dad was in the emergency room. The cancer he has been fighting for 18 months had started affecting his lungs and he was having trouble breathing. They decided to put him on hospice, and he returned home on the 4th with a pile of morphine.
We said goodbye to our dog and then packed up to drive down to our parents the next day. There is still dog fur all over the apartment. My father has rapidly declined, from needing a little help to move between the living room and the bed to now being barely there. I'll spare all the gory details in between.
We're looking at hours to days left for him, but my wife and I have decided we need to go home after two weeks with little sleep and acting as the primary support for my mother. Other family is arriving tomorrow. We're expecting to return in a few days, but we need to swap clothes and grab some essentials we forgot in our haste.

I'll give my pups a few extra scratches behind the ears tomorrow. And I'll call my folks this weekend.
Love to you and yours. Loads of long distance hugs from internet friends. Sorry that you’re going through it. ❤️
yeah i took my dog to the foot of the Rainbow Bridge before a two week stay seeing my father to his.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Merged photos from Martian roverb left half of image has a yellow sky right half has blue sky
To celebrate Curiosity's 5,000th Martian day, the team put together this postcard. It features two panoramic views: blue for morning shots and yellow for dusk scenes.

Timothy looked at the deep ocean sky, trying to see Earth and the war and the ruined cities and the men killing each other since the day he was born. But he saw nothing. The war was as removed and far off as two flies battling to the death in the arch of a great high and silent cathedral. And just as senseless...
What are you looking at so hard, Dad?
I was looking for Earthian logic, common sense, good government, peace, and responsibility.
All that up there?
No. I didn't find it. It's not there any more. Maybe it'll never be there again. Maybe we fooled ourselves that it was ever there.

hello from the last two li’l guys i left around the office
wrote a long ramble, decided to spare y’all for today. maybe the whole spiel another time.
long-short, today gave me two sharp reminders why i need to move on from my job (yet another sudden teammate layoff, followed by witnessing yet another excruciating bullying by the CEO in a meeting)
y’all got any vibes, job-hunting tips, or just general encouragement to get my ass on the moving-on-with-your-life express, put ‘em here
thanks for always listening and supporting.

I don’t have any magic job hunting tips, but good vibes for finding escape velocity and a better direction

I think it had literally been more than 20 years since the last time I saw Melt Banana. They still kick ass.

Booker T at the Parkway Theater

Booker T Jones at a wood-cased organ on the left, with the guitar, drums and bass spread evenly across the stage, under blue lights.
I jumped on these tickets when I saw the announcement this spring and glad I did - the show sold out then they added another night that also sold out.
He’s still in great form and the band was super tight, running through a revue of his own songs from the 60s and ‘70s and those from some friends. He came out from the organ and played a little guitar for Ain’t No Sunshine, then stayed up there while the band took a break and he did a great solo version of What’s Going On.
The sounds was excellent and the band went from whisper quiet during Summertime to a room-filling throb during Green Onions and Time is Tight. Great show.

A dolphin meets it's shadow off the coast of Lorient, Western France. The photo seems like black and white, but is just accurate for the light available and time of day
A dolphin hovers above their excellent shadow, off the coast of Lorient, western France.

I would caption this as "a dolphin hovers above water off the coast of Lorient, western France" as there is no proof in the photo that the dolphin has leapt from the water, nor that it will ever re-enter the water!
also: very cool photo/lighting
They didn't get the whole dolphin, which would have been incredible. As it is that shadow is such a grab.
