Where am I? ⚾️

People on a concourse. Is it a baseball game?

Clare@lccoftheisland· 25d

On my way to town for baseball game. Even our random light rail stations have gorgeous views

Puget sound glitters in the distance under blue skies and white clouds. Parking and light rail tracks are visible in the foreground

I am at a ferry dock in western Washington state. A 10 year old boy just jumped out of the car in front of us to bark his dog. He’s wearing a Haaland jersey. 🇳🇴🥰

WHERE IS THIS RIGHT HAND COMING FROM ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS CAR?

The photo from a website that sells clip car window shades. There is a hand adjusting the shade on the outside of the car, but the arm that it is attached to appears to be coming THROUGH the rear window frame as though a person was trapped inside the door or perhaps the rear quarter panel. If it's a long arm, maybe they are in the trunk of the car. Also, it's a RIGHT hand on the LEFT side of the car which means this person is sitting or lying in a horribly contorted position.

Thank goodness for the pictures or I would’ve had no idea what I was being warned about

The package of that has a photograph of a person with a bag over their head and also a baby with a bag over their head, and it says beware of c h o c k I n g

Just found this on the recipe website of a VERY famous celebrity chef who I will not tag because this isn't about her shame . . . I mean THEIR shame. But come on, WHICH IS IT:

Screenshot of a Recipe that begins: Ingredients for Croque Monsieur. After a brief introduction to the sandwich, the recipe says "Bread: Croque Monsieur is typically made with a firm but soft bread. . . " What the hell does that mean?

Because it's obviously the torties.

A selfie of a woman with brown hair and glasses wearing a grey hoodie backwards so that a tortoiseshell colored cat can sit with her butt in the hood and her paws on the woman's shoulder. Do I need to say that not very much work got done that day? Also, there is a bonus peek view of the top of my dog's white fuzzy head beside me.

Pretty clouds tonight

A line of dark clouds in a sky filled with small puffy clouds in a darkening sky.

I think this

Spock from the original Star Trek series confusing, female cyborg’s with logic, which he found fascinating. Obviously.

Oh dear, Washington State Bar. This ship may have sailed.

A flyer for a Legal Lunchbox series on the Constitutional Limits on Executive Power being giving Tuesday July 28 from 11:55 am to 1:30 p.m. by webcast only. The write up says a panel of experts will discuss the scope of executive power and explain how the US Constitution limits that power and how recent cases before the Supreme court might redefine it. Still worth 1.5 Law and Legal Procedure CLE credits, though, no matter how hard I cry during the presentation.

Guest Cat finally came out of the basement to see what I was doing in my office today.

A rather handsome tabby with a lighter muzzle sits on the desk beside the keyboard. I am beside him in the photo wearing a gray sweatshirt that says BANDON on it. That's the name of a beach town in Oregon. Guest Cat has never been there. Guest Cat is looking directly at the camera. I, for some reason, am making a face like taking a photo is quite a struggle.

it's enhanced I think, but it's a real image

Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin in black tie accompanied by an unidentified woman.

Now they are asking before hacking. And the answer is "absolutely the fuck no" and "I still don't and never have had a website." This got through my spam filter.

An email that got through my spam filters from "Andrew" in "Texas" saying that he went to my website today and noticed something odd and that a screenshot will tell the story better than a written explanation and could he send it to me?

Bicentennial Ford Pinto.

A truly astounding 1976 Ford Pinto. The car is standing in a field. It is white and has swirling American flags and ribbons in red, white, and blue. And not just a tasteful door sticker - these are on the hood, the roof, the quarter panels, the bumpers and even the A pillars.

You. Were. Right.

One of two lemon blueberry Bundt cakes that were made with salt preserved lemon paste instead of lemon juice. This one is on a fancy green cake plate and sprinkled with a little powdered sugar.

I had never heard of these before . . . WHERE IS THE LINE TO ADOPT ONE AND WHO WILL TAKE ALL MY MONEY?

An internet photo of a quokka, a furry brown critter with black button eyes, black nose and leathery looking paws. This one is SMILING widely and holding a leaf. They are apparently a herbivous, nocturnal marsupial found in Australia and about the size of a domestic cat. AND CUTE. So damn cute.

The Kombucha Girl meme. The stinky face side says What kind of man is afraid of a hat?. The thinking face side says The kind I didn't want to talk to anyway (puts on hat).

I am surrounded by funny geniuses. I am never quitting social media.

I posted a screen shot from 12 Angry Men where one man says He don't even speak good English and the other corrects him He doesn't even speak good English. @pavel.bsky.social responded that he speaks evil English and @jcmorris.bsky.social replied that he speaks chaotic good English.

Clare@lccoftheisland· Jun 23

Saw this yesterday.

2 screen shots from 12 Angry Men. In the first, a man says He don't even speak good English. In the second, the other man corrects him He doesn't even speak good English.

lol - St. Edgar of the House Plants

A woman with brown hair and glasses (okay, it's me) has a shelf behind her with a spider plant, another plant in a basket, a photo of two girls in Mariners gear (my daughters about a million years ago) There is an Edgar Martinez bobblehead figure nestled in the spider plant.

"Trump, who weighs 310 pounds in his shoes" - I mean, why not? It makes as much sense as his age in sentence 2. Also, that first sentence makes it sound like the ABC reporter renovated the Reflecting Pool. What the hell are the journalism schools teaching them?

The opening of an article that says "Fox News viewers were left fuming after President Donald Trump aimed threats at an ABC reporter over his Reflecting Pool renovation.

Trump, 80, issued a scathing rant on his Truth Social platform over the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial after he claimed it had been subjected to "vandalism."

Somebody got groomed today! Charlotte. It was Charlotte, not me.

A young black, freshly groomed standard poodle wearing a red harness and a bright blue leash. She smells good too.

Seaview. That’s me thanking the sun for a lovely day.

A woman stands on an ocean beach bathed in the last rays of the sun with her arms up. The sun is about to sink below the horizon and there are red glares everywhere in the picture.

Without downloading new pics, what is it like to date or be married to you. I think this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen and I’m going to make you look at this and things like this every day for the rest of your life

It’s a meme of very small, black kitten sitting on a white stuffed unicorn and the caption says giddyup sparkle farts! There’s chaos to spread!

The hell it will be

A photo of French onion soup that says it can be ready in 1 hour.

Clare@lccoftheisland· Jun 1

I'm reading this RIGHT NOW

The cover of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's book, Love Your Leftovers. It is yellow with red lettering and says "River Cottage" at the top. There is photo of Hugh in a gray shirt and glasses dropping -- maybe crispy onions? --- on to a salad.

Okay #knitsky. I found a fair amount of a soft chenille in a dreamy color at a thrift shop. Learned a clever cast on. Knitting in garter stitch for the beginner practice. Assume this is a cozy scarf but hoping for Dr. Who length, lol. This is fun!

I love the view from the playfield - it's a gorgeous location and almost no one outside the city knows it's there. Your b/w shot makes it look lovely and creepy.

Stadium High School's grass play field. The school resembles a stone, Gothic castle near the top of the photo. The green field is striped for football, but a soccer goal stands in the endzone. A large bank of stands for spectators perches on the embankment between the school and the field. The Puget Sound is visible in the upper left corner of the shot, the port of Tacoma is peeking out from the center top, and buildings from downtown Tacoma rise above the school on the top right. Because it is a beautiful sunny day, you can also see Mt. Rainier, which most locals have informally reverted to calling by its native name - Tahoma. The lack of snow on Tahoma and the green deciduous trees indicate this is a summer shot.

The Big project is underway! We removed a cabinet, a closet, and the remnants of a wall that had been left as a useless arch between 2 rooms. Had to add a joist above that space. Only one hardware store trip! 😂 Been meaning to do this ever since we moved into the house. Happy to be started
