Just a small hobbit from Woodhall in the Shire (Landroval). Notable smart-ass. Lover of pies, cats, & otters (but not at the same time or combined) I do not automatically return-follow. Don’t engage haters, just block em. And Fuck IA.

Still don’t over look the Harolds of the sheep world. 🐏⚠️

Monty Python. A city gent and local farmer talking at a fence of a farm field. They’re looking at the animals and the city gent is curious what’s going on? The farmer has already mentioned how one of his sheep, Harold has become a ring leader and is teaching the others how to fly. Text at the bottom of the image says “He’s the most dangerous of animals, a clever sheep!”

I dare them to try that in Philly? What’s stopping them? 😏

Two images of hitchBOT. A hitchhiking “robot” that was intended to travel from Boston to San Francisco in 2015. The first image is a happy go lucky robot constructed of a few buckets, leds and solar panels with blue arms and legs and yellow boots and gloves. It is sitting in a chair trying to hitch a ride.

Picture 2 shows the mutilated corps of the poor robot after being dismembered by someone in Philadelphia and dumped along the roadside in some trash.

He’s giving off some serious Lloyd Christmas vibes here. 🤣

From Dumb and Dumber: Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) walking down the hotel steps in his “fancy” new outfit including a cowboy hat, and leather gloves with exaggerated frills.

We have two here. But I’m certain your talking about Fermilab. It was the largest ring until CERN came online. As a kid we used to go there a lot for fishing and some of their educational programs. I always loved how it gave us an international presence in the middle of cornfields.

The distinctive Wilson Hall at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL, aka Fermilab). A large concrete building with sloping walls on two sides rising to a midpoint where they straighten out and run parallel for the rest of its height. On the long face is set long rectangular windows recessed from the edge of the wall. On the end,the center is one large glass face up to the top with a similar lean and angle as the concrete outer walls. It is surrounded by a few small buildings and parking lots in the background are a mix of more buildings and woodland.

I found Rudi. He may look and say he’s a bear, but don’t let that fool you. He’s clearly a hobbit out of place here. Who else would rate snack breaks as so vital to one’s work. #SpiritCrossing

Dear graphic artists, As a cartographic professional I’d like to simply say… Don’t make infographics like this. It looks like shit.

An ugly attempt to shoehorn individual states in the United States of America into simple squares. The squares are colored based on a legend (not included since that was not the problem with this hideous thing). Inside each square is the state it is supposed to represent. About the only good thing about the placement of states is that the east coast states are on the east coast and same with the west coast. Inside though it turns to an unmitigated shit show. Wisconsin is due north of Indiana. Illinois is south of Iowa, north of Missouri, and just east of Nebraska. Tennessee is south of West Virginia and due east of Kentucky. And finally somehow Oklahoma is now south of New Mexico and borders Mexico.

Oooo! I wanna boop all those noses. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Four baby Red Ruffed Lemurs looking out of the wood box they currently call home. Only one seems brave enough to face the world outside the box while the other three are being more cautious in the back. One is hiding inside the shadow. Image by The Shaldon Wildlife Trust.

Well, I’m glad you are here even though we don’t know each other, so is my cat Sapphire. Puppers and cattos are great source of light when the world turns dark.

Grey kitty smiling for the camera. She is perched atop a backpack on a chair. In the background is a wall map of the USA, and a guitar collecting more dust than I’d like to admit.

Went to an art fair over the weekend as one does. But I don’t recall buying this. 🎨🕷️

Onyx just thinks we’re all weak and has to take to the ramparts to keep us safe from the birbs, tree rats, and buns that are flitting and running all around the outside space. She’s on the job for us 24/7 (until is feeding time or treat time)

A black cat (not that anyone can tell in this picture) sitting in a window with the red curtains closed. Her silhouette is clearly visible as is the faint glimmer of green from the leaves of a bush that needs to be cut back but hasn’t because Big O likes to sniff at them and use them as extra camouflage. So the outdoor critters can’t see her till it’s too late (too late for what I have no idea)

Sapph says “Stuff the Queen, I’m more important. I’m the princess”

A gray cat laying in a white bedspread with a red curtain in the background. She is looking away from the camera as if the photographer was a person of absolutely no importance what so ever. (Narrator: Which is true until the food or water bowl is empty)

I interrupted the morning grooming hour. The queen is not happy.

A small torti cat laying on a white bedspread. Her tail is laying pointing towards the bottom of the photo. She has one rear leg up in the air with her back hunched over. Her head just raised from the act of licking her belly, but is now giving the photographer a look of disgust for violating her personal time. This will cost me a few extra treats when I get back to the kitchen.

Final stop on the celebration tour was to pay respects to the victims of the SS Eastland disaster and get some quiet time to reflect. (the OH has a connection to this place and event so we try to stop when we are in the area)

Stretch of the Chicago River where the SS Eastland capsized while still connected to the docks.

I think I found a new familiar! Alas I could not take him home. Meet Mr Winston. 15 pounds of bun with an attitude.

A Flemish giant rabbit sitting on a green rug next to a box of hay. His soft fur is varying degrees of black to white producing salt and pepper look. The image does not do justice to show his full size.

On the way out of the Red Lion we had to stop in the alley across the way that moved one of my 2nd cousin’s father-in-law up the list to Public Enemy Number One, after the death of his partner in crime, Dillinger was killed coming out of the Biograph theater.

Mural depicting former Public Enemy Number One, John Dillinger on a wall in the alley he was killed in on July 22, 1934 by federal agents.

What is HE doing in the book shop? 😳 #GoodOmens (He is soooo good at playing nasty characters)

Sonca@soncagh· Apr 10

My mind interpreted that to say “Do it your @#€%!~? self, you lazy bum!” 🤨 😆

Microsoft Outlook dialog for meeting notes. Most of the box is shades of grey with some text indicating “The organizer hasn't shared notes with this meeting.” And a link to create your own notes remarks in a very passive-aggressive way to “Take notes on your own” as if Clippy is still hard at work in the background but is pissed that he’s been mostly ignored over the last 26 years.

Sapphire wants to say Hi to Molly and Maggie. She thinks they are looking good there. 😸

A soft fuzzy grey kitty with yellow green eyes smiles directly at the camera while she lounges on a backpack sitting on a chair. In the background is an out of focus wall map showing parts of the USA.

I finally managed to stay awake to watch the first ship enter the Soo Locks for the Great Lakes shipping season. Watching the special live stream from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on one screen and StreamTime Live feed on the other.

Aerial photo of the Soo Locks at Sault Ste Marie, Michigan & Ontario. A circle inside the lock represents the Dirk S Vanenkvort as she enters the locks at the beginning of the season.

Not too late to celebrate Pi day here

A piece of chocolate cream pie on a plate that has a green rim. a fork with some pie residue on some of the tines rests on the plate ready for use.

Nice. Front row (but not center)

Foggy stage with all sorts of sound monitors, cables and microphones. In the far back the backdrop resembles an Irish pub. One side has a sign “P. J. Murphy’s Irish Pub. Home of Gaelic Storm” on the other side is a sign that says “Whole Hōg” and “Gaelic Storm Imperial Irish Red”

Sonca@soncagh· Mar 12

Time for some fun! JOHNNY TARR! #GaelicStorm #EgyptianTheater

A long tour van parked in the street. The van is lime green and decorated with dark green and very light green swirls. The name “Gaelic Storm” is written on the side. In smaller letters near the back is the name of their sponsor Cider Boys.

Part of me really wants to make the bed, but there is a heavy feeling of foreboding that it really is not a good idea right now. Not so much an evil feeling but one of doom. Almost as if some furry little imp were warning me… “Don’t even think about it! I am awake when you are asleep human”

Pile of wrinkled white bedding on a bed. A black tail is curling out of one fold and the tip of a black paw sticks out from another fold.

Fuck no!

… the prime suspect? 🤔

The crime…

A small white plate on top of a plastic storage bin. The plate is empty except for a bunch of toasted bread crumbs

Sonca@soncagh· Feb 20

A couple of police officers hauling a mountain lion by its legs towards a vehicle. Cat looks to be proclaiming its innocence.
Caption at the top says “Khajiit is innocent of this crime!” Which we all know is absolutely true. Khajiit are always being profiled badly for no reason.

Logos in the lower corner indicates it was a snapshot from an ABC Channel 7 news cast and posted to Reddit.

Sonca@soncagh· Feb 10

Eeep! Thats not good. Hopefully you recover quick and as pain free as possible.

Here’s one of my four local tree rats. I believe this is one of the kids. Momma is still around and she gets first dibs on any food to be found.
