Nice! We’ve been buying treat puzzles for Violet so it’s more challenging/like hunting for her.
Snowing for awhile in Thurmont MD and sticking! I don’t get it, temp is 35 on my outdoor thermometer, and my phone apps, so I’m surprised it’s not melting.
@taratlk.bsky.social I recall @jerdlngr.bsky.social mentioned you were looking for a photo of this statue in Frederick awhile back. We were walking by it today and the lighting was good, so I snapped a pic for you.
Photo from last night’s walk around the neighborhood in northern Frederick County, MD. This is looking west towards the Catoctins. Pic by @jerdlngr.bsky.social with edits/cropping by me.

Found this 1999 Washington football team ticket while cleaning out a closet. It took place at “Jack Kent Cooke Stadium”. Will pass this on to @jerdlngr.bsky.social ‘s coworker, a diehard fan of the team.
