Tuesday, Apple announced product upgrades…including to AppleWatches. I have last-year’s model, and I’m glad to have it, but I don’t believe it is accurate in recording several data types. For some years, it has been complaining about excessive sound levels nearly every time I take a shower…and at no other time (not that I spend time around amps). I have decided this has to do with water hitting the watch and not the sound in the shower space…so I ignore it.

Welcome to goat world. Note that the last few days the goats have done a bit of excavation.
Also, I read an academic article on knots, as a global cross-cultural technology, presented with more detail than I would have believed possible.

Yeah, this is an odd angle to look at a vehicle. Yet, what’s the vehicle tricked out to maximize? Are those rectangular forms antennae or liquid holders? That implement on the roof—it’s not a weed eater, so what is it?
Quick goo-search: Land Rover Defenders start at 73K or 153K, depending on I’m not sure what. But that doesn’t explain the extras….

Perhaps my last lupin shot of the year…I thought this ombre specimen unusual, with the almost purple low blooms graduating to light pink at the top.
Proof of exodus: The Bridge. Note heavy overcast, which I call smoke-AZ. AZ not as in Arizona, but a riff on, you guessed it, hazy. BTW, these were the first of several groups of motorcyclists we saw—Saturday outings, I’m guessing.
Here’s redecoration underway, a redo of the picnic tables and grills, it looks like, at a rest area.
We spotted this rigged pickup at another rest area. I do not think it’s set up for making street view photos for Google or similar. I think it’s for (video) camera work…but wildlife spotting, looking into a vehicle it’s leading or following, or, hmmm, generic influencer imagery, perhaps.
Enough. We’re trying to escape from Ohio.

I do enjoy some of the dramatic creations of the “Portrait / stage light” settings (although others are dreck).

I see an interesting muddiness in this night exposure…that doesn’t look like it’s nighttime.

Alignment…via draped wires and cables and whatnot.

I had a vision. My camera couldn’t see it.
😇 I’ll survive….

A non-self-driving robot came and de-stumped us…actually, it ground (sawed) up only one stump. We kept the others to hold the bank that they’re embedded in.
And thus we have the end of the wind-felled tree saga…except for creating a new version of the back garden now that it gets some sun. I emphasize: some.

Above our washer-drier is a tube light. When I flipped it on while processing the dirty laundry we brought home with us, the bulb blew and fell onto the drier. I have yet to dig out the socket part that stayed in the tube.
It’s dangerous being home?
I managed to stay awake last night until shortly after 7:30pm…and woke up at approximately when we had been getting up in Spain. Errg. Already yawning now…. My body isn’t proficient at fielding time changes.
