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

Photo of a cat but only its head is visible it looks like the cats body is buried or submerged but I believe it's peering over a step and the colour of the ground makes it look like the cat is partially buried
I just got fired from the decatpitation factory!

the 1st J.C. Penney Store, in Kemmerer, WY
alt text
in response to this: https://mltshp.com/p/1RM6N
This is the "1st" J.C. Penney store, by which I mean that it was the 1st actual store instead of being operated out of a house. You can't miss it - it's on J.C. Penny Drive in the Historic J.C. Penny District in a *very* small town in Wyoming. (Also one of my very favorite areas/towns in Wyoming - I've thought about retiring nearby someday.)
For old cemetery aficionados the town also has one of the better old mining cemetery/monuments I've seen.

I didn’t explore the town much, but I did spend a couple days there digging up fossil fish once.
@crazyunclejoe YES what fun!! Literally right now I've been spending weeks cleaning up a fossil stingray from there to give as a gift to my BFF - I've spent months over my career working in some "special places" (no public access) so I've got a pretty good collection. I'd really like to drag my husband to one of those pay to dig quarries one day though!! When I was in high school my dad announced that he and I were going on a "special fishing trip" and we drove and drove and drove - I thought we were going to Jackson to fish one of the lakes or the river but instead he took me to Kemmerer to do just what you did, and I loved it *so much*. Hope you really enjoyed it too!
(Also got the worst sunburn of my life the first time I spent a week there working because I completely underestimated just how much the sun would bounce off all that white rock, lol.)

were all the other Penneys merely partial ones?

vintage still of a boy saying "What's that got to do with my knob?"
We had "Bedknobs & Broomsticks" on VHS, and I watched it so many times as a kid.
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!

Alton Brown does this. I've never tried it. https://altonbrown.com/recipes...
Kenji Lopez Alt also does this, at least with bucatini.
@KMAlexander Kenji Lopez-Alt advocates putting pasta and cold water in a frypan and cooking until the water is almost gone. I've tried it and it works great: the remaining starchy water helps thicken the marinara or cream sauce or cheese that you're going to add.

Snowmageddon
alt text
A photograph of the recent snow in Minneapolis. The left side of the photo shows the side of my house, with concrete on the bottom and wood siding above. A glass block window is at ground level with a covered water spigot beside it. There is a gate for a wooden fence in the middle of the picture, with a snow covered pine tree to its right. In the foreground in front of the tree is deep snow that was not there yesterday. The sidewalk leading to the gate is clear in the photo, though it likely is no longer clear.
There was zero snow yesterday afternoon.
This particular spot reminded me of my youth in a pine covered yard in northern Minnesota. My neighbors or sometimes just me would build great snow forts under the snowy pine boughs.

Men on and off horseback contemplate what looks to be the spine of a whale which is in the middle of a large field, mountains are visible in the background
Saw this image at work at Flickr Commons and was like "What is the story there?" Wound up writing a whole Wikipedia article about the photographer.
Those whale vertebra. Humongous!
One of the odd details about Fallout 76 is there are whale skeletons here and there in very unlikely places (like in a hidden room underground in a mine).

Colour Divides, 2025, shot on Google Pixel 6. Photograph: Robby Ogilvie, UK winner, Open Competition, Object, Sony World Photography Awards 2026.
Is that a mark 2 Ford cortina?
If so, then that car is almost 60 years old.
And even though the photographer is from the UK, I suspect that the location of this shot is somewhere with a drier environment.
If it was the UK, we'd be looking at a 60 year old pile of rust sitting in the gutter.

@roonie apparently it's in front of Cape Town’s Bo-Kaap Museum.

Photo of an old '70s era VW Beetle driving down a two-lane road. Mounted to the roof is a sculpture as tall as the car is, of a white cube (with spraypainted blue streaks) balanced on its corner, framed on four sides by the red slashed-circle symbol (ISO 7010 P001 "General Prohibition Sign").

A tall, stone Greek letter pi stands against a yellow sky. The letter looks like a monument, and is slightly chipped and cracked. The ground is rocky and purple. There's a blurry yellow treeline in the background. A few birds circle above. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Monday plans

Screenshot from the Raleigh NC National Weather Service office showing that on Monday, 16 March 2026, the central third of North Carolina has a 15-29% probability of tornadoes up to EF2 rating, a 60-74% probability of widespread winds of 74 MPH or higher, and a 15-29% probability of damaging hail of 2" in diameter or more.
Eastern US weather maps are lighting up.
We've got 2" hail on the menu which makes us even more special.
Morituri te salutamus, y'all.
Sunday evening update: Most of the local school districts are closing tomorrow. No remote learning, full closure.

Good luck, with each SPC update it keeps shifting south (tho getting more intense), maybe you'll get out of it. The jaggedness of the jet stream right now is W I L D. (If it's bad, you should know that Noem got rid of FEMA's tornado tracker tools soooooooooo . . .. . yeah. :( )
Everybody's rightly worried about tornados etc. but with the wind and just how drouthy it is in parts of the country this system's about to hit I also fear the fire departments will also have a busy night in certain areas actually fighting fire instead of other duties . . . and this fire season is already starting out badly enough as it is.

Why does Damaging Hail get capital letters when tornadoes and damaging winds don't?
Sorry. Best wishes for all North Carolina. It's just the details that get to me sometimes.

vintage Alka Seltzer button with SPEEDY and the caption "Relief is just a swallow away"
Seven AM, Toronto.

The photo shows several buildings, including the CN tower against the deep blue morning sky. To the immediate left is the absolutely gorgeous train station.
This was the last leg home. I very much enjoyed my time on VIA Rail’s Canadian. Decent food, lovely staff, friendly Neighbors-to-the-North who went out of their way to let us know that they didn’t hold us personally responsible for the ravings and actions of the Madman in Chief. I’m not a Heimscheißer but I appreciated a non-stainless steel toilet for a change.
The one view of the TD building where it doesn't look like a 2000s-era mac Dual G5. And of course, Toronto's signature: the "temporary" construction fence. It'll be a great city when it's finished.
Weird to see a Canadian city without any snow on the ground.
I've said too much

Vintage comic panel of a yellow, bubble-canopy, futuristic car pulling up to a toll booth. A toll attendant asks for five dollars and wonders what kind of car it is. The two men inside reply, “We call it the Crimemobile!” A nearby sign reads “STOP — PAY TOLL $5.00.”
