I baked a blueberry pound cake!

Eating an unbelievably delicious and generously proportioned English muffin breakfast sandwich from leadbettersbakeshop.com

At my favorite pancake restaurant and found a small rubber cartoon chicken button? Or maybe part of a toy? This is not the first time I've seen this chicken.

New personal goal.

Plastic popcorn bucket in the form of Godzilla's decapitated head (something like a grey, snouted dinosaur). The head is tilted back, looking upwards with his mouth slightly open as if to cry, "Oh Godzilla, why have you forsaken me?"

The same decapitated Godzilla head, but now the mouth is wide open and filled with popcorn.

Somehow my phone thinks I have more than 91 pictures of porkchops on it.

Search on my phone for "porkchop" shows a series or pictures. "+91" is overlaid on the picture on the lower right.

I thought this was Zartan.

Young Sean Connery with a long black ponytail and moustache. No shirt, red pants, with red bandoliers acting as suspenders? He's alone, with a whitish-grey field of maybe snow behind him.

I just purchased two books by Tom Cox (@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social): _Everything Will Swallow You_ and _Notebook_. I may have read one or both of these in the (relatively) recent past, but in case I hadn't I decided to buy them again. If you haven't read anything by Tom Cox, buy a book or two!

How do you take eggs out of an egg carton? I start at one end and work my way to the other. My friend takes them from alternating end so the carton "stays balanced." I know he's wrong, but am I the only one who is right?

Seven eggs in an egg carton. Five have been taken, all from the same end as is right and good.

I made a Magic: the Gathering deck for Commander format to play with family. No one else brought decks because they fear Hazel of the Rootbloom and her army of Squirrels!

Last week was my family reunion, this time in New Orleans. All my pictures are of food.

Enough fried chicken to make half a chicken! (Also a bowl of potato salad. The good kind.)

New friend!

A friendly purple frog-like figure with four arms, green webbed hands and feet, and large black eyes stands in an open, welcoming pose on a white surface. It wears a brown scarf and ragged shorts, and its playful stance makes it seem harmless and not at all frightening. Do not fear this little being! It means no harm and causes no alarm or sense of impending danger.

New dish soap flavor just dropped

Here's one!

Circular painting by Alfred Agache depicting the three Fates from classical mythology seated closely together. One measures a vivid red thread stretched across the scene, another gathers it, and the third leans in attentively, holding a pair of shears. An open book lies at their feet. The women wear classical garments, and the muted green background and subdued lighting create a solemn, mythological atmosphere.

Seen in my neighborhood. Do not call this number.

Paper sign stapled to a telephone pole. Words at the top: DO _NOT_ CALL THIS NUMBER

Two side-by-side images. Left, clip art image of a man smoking a pipe. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._R._%22Bob%22_Dobbs) with the caption "THE LIGHT" (He did not call this number). Right, might be darkness with burning flame(?), with the caption "THE DARKNESS" (He _did_ call this number!)"

Text: Please. No matter what you do. No matter who tries to convince you. For the love of humanity and the "illuminants" that hide deep under the earth's crust, crying and shrieking in a tone unheard by us. Please. We beg you. For all that is sacred. Do not even consider for a second to call this number below. With the truest of sincerity, please. Don't, do not, in any form or shape, so not. Please refrain or abstain from dialing that number below you.

[347] 470-1449

I'm re-re-reading The Broken Room by @peterclines.com and man oh man does he put Hector through the ringer.

I'm sure if recycle this box of old computer cables, power cords, mice, and other assorted detritus, I won't need something from it desperately next week.

I baked apple crumble and now having it with a wee bit of vanilla ice cream. It is pretty yummy.

This is my favorite way to start the year -- blueberry pancakes at 16th Street Cafe in San Francisco! And I'm pretty sure I saw @scalzi.com or his doppelganger here yesterday, maybe with pie.

Untouched stack of three pancakes topped with four slices of strawberries and whipped cream in a cute little side dish.

The same pancakes, a quarter of them moved so you can see the luscious blueberries awaiting within.

200 ml (about 7 fluid ounces)! This is enough to flood my countertop, if I wasn't careful. Which I was. Careful.
