Musings

Trying for a giggle

Local bar hilarity. Also price without tax.

Top down

I called this “top down.”

Overlapping time

Lots of rain-minutes today, although I could have found a few less-wet moments to make a wee walk. But I didn’t, so this fern-foto is from last week. Sometimes a day will have more pauses and recycling than forging forward.

Timelines

I had four (or so) vague ideas for this space, yet they all fizzled…a fast timeline compared to the growth of lichens and mosses.

Upward trend

The last three days (and nights) were like this, cold as ice. Normal temps today (more or less).

And this is what happened. Poor camellia.

Upside: on my walk, I actually created vitamin D, as my face was not entirely covered and shaded, plus my hands weren’t in gloves. Yay for health.

A moment

On a clear day…when the moon is out in the daytime, and the sky is blue blue blue, and a huge jet takes off and catches the sun…well, there can be a moment. Like this.

In the teens

This day was backwards, in that all day the temperature dropped…even though it was sunny—thankfully. It’s now 16°F and still dropping. Glad we have the “big” duvet out!

The reflective surface is the thickly polyurethaned Uncle Bob Table…because The Guru’s Uncle Bob made it…years ago. It’s a piece of our heirloom furniture.

Bowl stack

Sometimes, I need to stick to visual aesthetics and avoid minutia and thoughtful ideas (sometimes long-winded). Here’re assorted curves.

One of those days

Our favorite fisherman is now casting in the big pond in the sky, you might say, as of this afternoon. We are grieving, and also glad that he is now at peace. These are not easy times, but the wheel of life turns this way and that, and today’s turn took our favorite hunter-gatherer. These were two of the four keepers he caught this lucky day back in September 2021. They were fine eating. We miss him greatly.

I’m weird

I enjoyed algebra in an odd way because I got to look at x y and z more often…than in literature and other subjects. I still like those letters, their linearity and symmetry, and that they’re at the end of the alphabet.

Big blotches on the weather maps

The rain has begun, and it’ll be windy and nasty overnight and through the morning.
