A cartoon depicting Beaker from the Muppets, the Roadrunner, and R2D2 in a conversation of beeps and meeps while standing behind a large truck that is reversing. Noise!

Do you see anything you'd like on the menu?

A water diversion gate that is part of the Salt River Project in Phoenix, Arizona. This one is at the corner of 16th Street and Maryland. The poster recalls a day looking down through the grate to see water a feet down and the interior walls of the gate covered in crayfish.

Our three do this as their most skillful trick: the Accidental Oreo Pose.

Three dogs: Griffin, Tillie, and Cole sitting side by side in a black-white-black sequence. We call this the "Accidental Oreo Pose".

Found one!

The coffee maker at the now closed La Bombonera in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico - a restaurant that operated for over 100 years. This beautiful machine is all chrome and shiny with three major vessels and lots of valves and tubes in a complex arrangement that looks like it requires a week or more of training to operate.

It's good to see others using the Burley kid trailers for cargo. Did you know you can hang dry cleaning in the back section? This is an outbound shot of fifteen dozen homemade monster cookies on the way to my son-in-law's unit in Afghanistan.

This comes to mind.

Far Side cartoon showing two cave men facing what seems to be a perched pterodactyl. One of the men has an apprehensive look with an arm raised and finger extended. The other has prosthetic sticks for both arms and one leg, an eye patch, and numerous long scratches on his body. The battle scarred one is telling his friend, "Don't be 'fraid, Dug. Me teach him sit on finger. ... Closer, Dug, closer."

It's peacocks for us. This is from last spring and they're still around. We hear their calls across the neighborhood. Thankfully the dogs have gotten used to them.

I followed my suspicions and found a nest on the patio. I hung a sling from the patio roof and shifted the whole works about 4' straight up, out of reach and notice of the dogs. Momma bird has returned.

The cute dog is Tillie (Matilda Irene). When I set up my Bluesky account, it was a picture I had handy. This is the uncropped photo including the boys. All are rescues.

Three small dogs sitting side-by-side. The two black ones are on the outside with the white one in the middle. This has been described as "The Accidental Oreo Pose".

Bessie Coleman Elementary School, Corvallis, Oregon

An arial view of Bessie Coleman Elementary School in Corvallis, Oregon. The school was built in the last few years as a replacement for an aging school named for a disreputable former US president.

From a few years ago. Kitted my son-in-law out with backup bike and hitched up the trailers. I'm towing granddaughter, SIL pulling the tree, and daughter taking photos. #TreeByBike

Me and son-in-law ready to roll on bicycles and bundled for winter. SIL hitched to a cargo trailer with Christmas tree. Me hitched to a passenger trailer with unseen granddaughter inside.

With careful sorting and planning, you could do something like this:

Work in progress: the mural "Bessie's Blue" by Carolyn Moses. Along Monroe Avenue in Corvallis, OR. Depicts endangered Fender's Blue butterfly in "tiles" the approximate size of an adult. One tile for each Fender's Blue in existence.

We have top notch bike parking at work. I wish more of the racks were filled. @nataliabarbour.bsky.social

Roomy, covered, and well lighted bike racks at work. Sadly, only one bike parked here.
