I can't find any of the pictures of the inappropriate cucumbers we've had over the years, but I do have one of a zucchini. Still no idea how this thing got missed in the plant.

So, do we think he is a long time Never-Ending Pasta Pass holder? Or has he seen a stupid headline about it recently?

Dined al fresco this evening. Grilled green beans (not pictured) and cedar chicken packets.

it made me think of this

My absolute favorite berry needs a bit of processing for it to be how I like to eat it (pictured below) but I won't kick a tomato or banana or cucumber off the plate.

behold, a bucket full of berries:

Electro is also a fan

I grew up with it being a name for both the spider and the crane fly, which according to this is unusual for the USA, but also peep these other names.

right? such a font of wonder

Folks it is that season once again in California. PM.3, 1, 2.5, and 10 all with a nice spike right when the wind shifted!

I thought I had already cleared it from spam, but I hadn't! The body has some, let me say, more veiled antisemitism regarding big pharma than you would expect given, you know, the rest of it.

It was BAFFLING I never saw them playing on it. Apologies for the horrible drawing, but it was roughly like this. The hoops were attached to the walls of the mezzanine floor on these long brackets that folded out. Which was really more of a wraparound walkway? Pile was probably .5-.75" at minimum.

this is what it was ~supposed~ to look like

The shipping company handled that for me with the koala I got for my spouse.

I've seen the bars, but not the spread! These two have been my recent ones, picked them up at a local company gift fair last Xmas. They're just what they say they are on the tin too.

but what if

I've been doing some genealogy research (for reasons), and I already knew this had happened, but found a death certificate for an ancestor:

At first I was just going to hop out to look at the eclipse and not take photos, but then I decided I should take some. Then I was going to go to bed at a normal time... but then I dallied and thought might as well wait till totality. So I missed a bunch of stages, but, eclipse photos.

I was just thinking I didn't realize it went down to hundredths of a percent, and then I went to look at mine!

found it! I don't know if it is original, been that way for at least 20 years though I think.

at our old place it was a not uncommon experience for this little jackass to scramble himself all the way to the top of the curtains in a fit, and then sit there looking at us like "why did you do this to me" and wailing

Ours is needlessly complicated this month because of it being across 25/26 and getting the rates from both. this is roughly 48% EV charging. This ends up at roughly $0.103/kWh not including the fixed costs AND including kWh from the solar self consumed that never touches the grid.

smh, why is everyone sharing the photshopped version. we shouldn't be spreading misinformation instead of the real picture

we need to go further

we're over here tying record highs in the IE

yeahhh, same down here in socal

living with multiple cats, I think it can only ever be this

Some possibly good news this evening, went outside and saw the glow of the sunset on the flag and decided to lean in.

Moon looked nice tonight!
