Sadie coming around to make friends with Mr and Mrs Mallard... First year I can remember when the ducks hang out after the pool is clean, usually they've moved on when I get the winter sludge and the winter cover off...

Ehrmagerd! Cybertrucks at Maplewood Tesla! Eight of them! Fugly! And not sure you can see it in the pic but the one out front doesn't have a hitch receiver, so you can't tow anything with it...

Exactly this. These are Dine In only. My first time at Matt's was takeout after dropping someone at the airport and by the time I got back to work 15 min later and was really unimpressed...
agreed. There's like a 2 minute window between "too hot to eat" and "cold sludge mixed with rapidly cooling beef" and it's not my favorite. But perhaps I'm still too southern even after all these decades.

Ran into conflicting moral issues this morning. First, spiders are really good, they catch the other bad bugs, etc... versus wow that's a really big spider there in the shower...

Getting ready for next monday. Got 3 dslr's ready with neutral density filters for direct sunlight. The d3300 will be on a tripod and an intervalometer so I can later stitch together a 4hr time lapse. D3400 has a 500mm manual focus zoom and the canon has a 75-300, both with screw on filters...

I was voter #1 at my precinct in MN today, I was there at 7am on my way to work. I voted for oldie Joe because I think trump is an existential threat to democracy. I was almost swayed to change my vote by the horribleness in Gaza but I think trump is more of a threat to world peace than Bibi is...
