First fire of the season

Playing some late night rock on tilderadio.org!

WWII, detonation during attempted disarming. Nobody hurt.

Merry Christmas, Luke!

(as forwarded to me from my daughter)

I remember when the subject of knife fights came up, and my father (LT., USMC, ret.) proceeded to give us a primer on how to fight with edged weapons (hint: upward strokes work better than downward).

I'm pretty sure my mother pulled him aside shortly afterward.

I believe this is the moment when Pelosi realized that she would cause harm--or even death--to any man, woman, child, citizen, or alien. She decided to foster any lie, and support any violence. Without code, without reference to her oath of office.

On a lighter note, baby shrews

Of course Reddit has a subreddit for parrots who party...

Cool slowmo video from reddit of a drop of water falling onto a sharp point.

Our local green space (Fisher Pond) appears to have an old bunker of some sort?

I'm happy some of us still know how to have fun...

Walked to our local pond, "Fisher Pond". Old maps called it "Frenchman's Pond", but not even old timers can say why.

Massive water lily presence. I think it's going to become "Fisher Meadow" in a couple decades.

I was an avid boater

Took a walk to the local pond (well, the trails in the surrounding forest). I'll get to the pond itself tomorrow.

One more cute goat one

And on a lighter note!

Man, it's almost like they're leafing through their copy of 1984, making sure they didn't miss any pointers. Next up in my community: the Two Minutes Hate.

Poppies volunteering against the microclimate beside our house.

Whenever I see the lines of people--6 feet apart--in their masks, my mind goes back...

Hey, wonder how much confidence I should have in our hosting provider. Their front page!
