Family vacation!

Grey-haired old man, his pretty wife and genius son take up a row of an airplane, in flight.
My kid just graduated HS, and will be bussing tables and interning at a chemistry lab at NU this summer, before heading to University of Illinois in the fall (Chemical Engineering with a music minor). My wife starts a 6 month contract in a week from Monday that will involve a lot of travel. I’m slammed at work with 50-60 hour weeks likely through October.
But first, a week in Central Oregon!

Black and white single-panel cartoon.
A three-eyed fanged monster wearing a graduation cap and gown is standing behind a lectern with a university crest on it, addressing an audience of students (visible only as tasseled mortarboards) at a commencement ceremony.
Caption: "And, as you head out into the world, your fresh, meaty torsos will be ripped apart and roasted to feed your new alien overlords -- wait, why are you all booing?"

Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos!
Is this the Jerry Seinfield speech?
@homerj I think it's a reference to academics and tutors who are addressing students on what looks like graduation day. They all mention AI and how pivotal it will be. All get booed (I've seen 3 so far).
The kids are alright.

A woman standing in front of a building in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, wearing the "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon" medal.
Melanie, my sister who has lived in Japan for 30+ years, received the "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon" the other day. It's the highest honour that can be given to a civilian (non-politician). She received it for "Contributions to the Australia Japan relationship and economic development". As part of the ceremony she had an audience with the Emperor, who she said "was very short".
Melanie is the little urban overachiever of our family. She's on the boards of Asahi, Mitsubishi Estate and Kawasaki Heavy Manufacturing, in addition to knowing just about everyone in the world. She regularly sends photos when she's out with various Heads of State.
I just happened to have a trip to Japan planned when the award was announced, so I got to represent the family. Unfortunately not allowed to be part of the official events, but we had plenty of drinks with friends afterwards.

おめでとう!
BTW, for someone who is both (1) a woman and (2) a foreigner to achieve that level of corporate success in Japan is truly impressive. (For example, here's the Board of Mitsubishi Estate: https://www.mec.co.jp/en... )

Starting my first mural on Monday

Photograph of a blank wall on the side of a housing block. The wall is about 3 stories high.
More than two years ago, one of my neighbors suggested to me that I should paint a mural on an ugly wall at a square down my street.
It took me forever to scrape enough courage together to get funding from various kinds of places. But I managed. I got the money. I got the permits. I got the scissor lift. I got the wall renovated and plastered. I got the paint and a colleague that is going to help me. And it should be ready by June 13, because then it’s going to be officially opened.
I found the whole process rather nerve-racking because all in all it’s about €18,000. But my goodness, will I be happy and relieved once it’s done.

New car day for us
alt text
Teal colored low-poly ass overgrown hatchback of an electric car
I have been seriously researching and shopping for a couple of months, and closed the deal yesterday on a new (to us) EV, a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5.
We had our Honda Fit for just a few months short of 10 years, and it was a total champ. That Fit took us from MN to as far as Oregon and Toronto and back. We loved the small size and large cargo space, the purple color, the utter reliability, but the spike in gas prices, the flood of good options fresh off of 3-year leases and good trade-in value for the Fit made it feel like the right time to make a change.
Not enough miles with it yet to be past the honeymoon period, but so far it's total blast to drive and i'm hopeful it'll be as good to us for the next many years as that Honda.

Congrats! The Ioniq 5 is one of my upgrade pics over the Kona EV I've had for the last 3+ years.
Friend of mine bought one new and really likes it, though he gets frustrated with the all-touchscreen dashboard.
Ooo! We’ve been thinking next year we switch to voltage and that one’s on the list. Curious to know how it goes on every level!

print advertisement for the LightBoy, a third-party peripheral by Vic Tokai licensed by Nintendo for use with the Game Boy portable entertainment system. A family is driving at night on the highway in a station wagon, junior is all the way in the backseat (not a seatbelt in sight) sitting cross-legged playing a Game Boy with the LightBoy attached. Junior is smiling.
Had one, back in the day. Regional lingo quiz: What did you call that space in a station wagon behind the second row of seating?
A) Back Back
B) Way Back
C) Far Back
D) ? ? ?
I grew up in NW Washington, USA, and everyone I know called it "the back-back."

A visual chart of dough-wrapped dumplings type foods from the world’s cuisines including mandu, samosa, gnocchi, etc.

I think your top seeds are empanada, samosa, pierogi and ravioli. (Gyoza gets denied a top seed and uses that resentment to win it all.)
Tiny issue of scale: your pasty should be roughly burrito-sized, while gnocchi are about the size of a fava bean

Sad Sack comics, 1977, 1968

Two “Sad Sack” comic books held in my hand in front of a white tile wall
My great grandmother bought a Li’l cottage on Lake Superior decades ago (mid 1950’s, before the Mackinac Bridge was built). Nowadays most of the family is either too old to want to schlep way up to it for a vacation or just don’t want to deal with the drive with their young family, so since my grandparents passed, my uncle is selling it.
But going there on vacation every year growing up, I loved that they had an old box of comics from when my dad & his siblings grew up going there - mostly old Archie & these Sad Sack. I’ve quoted these since I was a kid and obviously nobody had ANY idea what I was talking about (“the message said trucks lined with bagels!”).
My uncle saved these for me and I just got them in the mail. They smell musty and the content is pretty outrageous in places against current standards, but some great memories and nostalgia nonetheless. ❤️

What I love about Sad Sack is that the full phrase to complete his name (and this was clearly understood at the time, especially among military folk), is "of shit"

Glad to see they're properly cataloged.
Sounds like a fun, fulfilling just time! Congrats and enjoy!
