Yes / YES / The tiger is out

Motion-blurred, fish-eyed photo of a tiger *leaping* out of the back of pickup truck, where a carrying container has been opened, onto hard-packed earth, its enormous front paws just slightly off the ground; a few other parked trucks are visible at the horizon

A clear desktop
This is the first time this desk has been clean in about ten years. It normally has my 3D printer, but I made way for a snapmaker u1 I ordered, which should arrive tomorrow if I refresh the delivery status page enough.

<Bob the angry flower is pictured in a huge crowd with a nice seat at a concert. He looks happy. Wistful, even>
<the below lyrics are shown piece by piece over four panes while Bob's expression changes from happy toward boredom>
...invisible airwaves crackle with life… …sailing into destiny… …closer to the heart… ...ill-equipped to act with insufficient tact… …fly by night away from here…
<close up shot of Bob's face; eyes bugged out in shock>
150 minutes into this 3-hour Rush concert, bob comes to a startling realization:
<Bob's thought bubble reads>
I DON'T LIKE RUSH!!!

Just had lunch with a friend who flew in from Denmark just to see them
@scruss Just saw a video last night of local news interviewing people waiting to attend a BTS concert. The stadium was in eastern Massachusetts. People interviewed were from Canada, various parts of the US including Hawaii, and Europe. I'd say two thirds of them mentioned having seen them in other cities on this tour which were each at least a thousand miles away.

He's done a great job of building more instrumentation around the songs while keeping them absolutely his own, it's a really good album. Also contains probably the poppest song ever written about a shallow grave.

4yr old: Sorry, I parted
Me: Do you need to go potty?
4yr old: No, sometimes I fart because I'm watching a great show or movie, or I'm having a great day.

One of my favorite Japanese jazz bands is Soil & "Pimp" Sessions, self-described "death jazz". It's probably the crimey-ist jazz I know.

Finished the steps to the backyard
alt text
A photo of a set of five small brown stairs leading down from a gray retaining wall. At the top of the stairs is a small, black chicken.
Last year we had a new deck, driveway, and patio built. It kind of changed the pathways into our backyard, necessitating these steps. Over the course of a couple days my wife and I built them. I’m sore and tired, but I think they turned out pretty well (and mostly level and square😅).
Wise move to let the chicken test them first.
excellent work!

Unexpectedly cool morning

A photo of a man wearing a mlkshk shirt and drinking coffee, the mug obscuring some of his face. In the background are trees with green leaves.
The temperature has dipped in Denver for the last few days and the back deck has been the best place for morning coffee.
Nice shirt

We sent this as our invitation... in a tube. It's 3 feet tall. We have it in a frame in our living room and everything :). My friend, Brodsky, who is the bravest graphic artist I have yet to meet helped me crush the design. A friend of ours, Elke was a CD at an agency where she had these printed for us. We stuck them in tubes and USPSed them out for a couple of bucks each.
It was a wonderful wedding. We had $0 to spend on it. Most of the money wound up going to the New Leaf Cafe. They were in Fort Tryon Park in way north NYC. They hadn't opened yet, so we cut a deal with them using us as a practice event with a buffet with a pay-bar. We put goldfish in take home bowls on the tables instead of flowers. Heather found a gorgeous thrift store gown. We used the venues speakers with a random playlist and that was that.
A friend of ours who was a freelance philosopher and now teaches at Oxford, gave a dissertation on marriage that I cannot remember a word of because I was holding my new wife's hand and sweating in my suit jacket in the usual sweaty August of the city. Fuck it was hot. But that just led to people giving up the usual wedding stuffiness. A lot of clothes went missing almost immediately.
We gave everyone point and shoot cameras, called in a favor for some portraits and table shots. The photographer completely failed, saying "I've never been at an event where I couldn't get people to stop laughing long enough to take a group photo". He was pretty drunk when he said it.
We had a cake with Wonder Woman and The Tick on top that we brought. We had totally forgotten about it, but saw it when we started happily saying goodbye to everyone.

A billion congratulations, my friend. What a glorious artifact.
Yes much love, forever!!!!
That's just so lovely. Thank you for sharing!

wait, what happened to the passenger door?

The 67 Suburban came in an “Action-Line” configuration- one door on the driver side, two on the kerb.

My grandpa had one of these, then later he had an 80s version that was all tricked out. Kind of spoiled me as a kid for what a 'big serious car' was supposed to be, everything else seemed smaller, lesser. Also, my granparents always had Wintergreen Lifesavers in the car, so this photo smells and tastes like that to me :)

Big Basil Bed

A three-panel image of my basil garden. The bottom panel is a distant shot encompassing all of the large leafy basil plants and the lemon balm plants on the right.
The top left is just a top-down shot of their bushy leaves, and the top-right photo is from the side, with a tape measure sticking out above the basil leaves to show that the plants are about 30 or 31 inches tall at the highest.

Another bumper crop of basil this year!
I let the front two plants flower and flower without nipping any of it off until today because I felt bad about taking flowers from pollinators (we have other flowers, so I didn’t need to feel guilty), and although those ripped taller than the rest at first, they didn’t really feel like keeping up the pace since I let them bloom.
Since we were out of town for two weeks (and had a lot of rain) I only just now finished trimming all the flowers off all of them, and they’re beautiful. As you can see, at their tallest they’re about 30”-31” high now.
At the far side, past the anemic looking basil, are my thriving lemon balm plants, that are lower than the basil. Watering and mowing over here is great. Lemon & basil all the way!

This is impressive. I only have one basil plant on the deck but this was the first year I figured out proper cultivating and now have a nice bush.
@homerj Three cheers! 🍃🍃🍃
The firat year we had a basil jungle like this we made enough pesto (froze it into cubes) that we still have a few bits left these five years later. I recommend it. 😂

Big Basil is trying to control you and doesn't want you to know.
Halloween Nears

Looking through old Halloween decor I cam across these skull cutouts from Beistle. They are remakes from at least 50 years ago: https://www.beistle.com/vintage-...
In fact, there's tons of vintage Halloween stuffs going back 100 years here. Most of it is on Amazon too: https://www.beistle.com/holiday...

Halloween Nears is a term that can be applied from the day after Halloween. Every dam year.
