Reminds me of the time my plane landed in Belize. I thought I was seeing things when the bushes were moving till someone mentioned the airport was also a military base. 😳

I have a few crafty & horse friendly friends on here. Anyone have a clue what these are called?

I don’t know but I’d like to, once you find out. That little bit could come in handy for a few non-equine projects I have planned. It’s also always nice to have a few of these odd bits and bobs in the hardware drawer for leather working. Never know when it may come in useful.

One of the things I look forward to with the spring is the return of our Sandhill Cranes. We have (at least) two separate families that summer near us. One spent the whole summer in the farm fields and creek next to the OtherHalf’s work. We got to watch their 2 babies grow up that summer.

Managed to catch Sapphire (grey feline minion) while she was grooming her belly. I managed to rub it a few times before the shock ended and the claws came out. Front claws pulling my hand closer so she could lick it and the back claws out for the bunny kicks.

And Yes, I knew it was a trap

While I like them all. I’m torn between 1 & 4 as a cover pic. As others have said 1 would be a good way to show the beginning of the journey. But 4 would give a good clear view of the central subject. Good luck with your decision.

This is not at all breaking news at all and many have pointed out as such but this is also the key reason why many folks will not partake of your Substacks (because it is hosted at THE Nazi bar)

Watching the opening Olympic ceremonies as one does. It is a dance off between people in kimonos on one side and zoot suits on the other.

The question came up …

Just what is the recreational drug of choice over there? πŸ€”

We had a fairly good Irish place here for a while. It was great but it was part of a small chain that went under. They took on venture capital and crashed and burned.

Damn thinking about it… now I need a good proper shepherd’s pie and a pint of Guinness.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

When I first read that as one hour, as a Midwesterner, I thought, β€œPfft! that’s a drop in the bucket. Drive & enjoy that food”

But then I reread it slower… 9 hours. Yeah that’s a bit much. Curious, I looked it up. (Assuming Fairfax VA) Look! They have brunch too. I can be there in 13 hours! 😁

They are all awesome. But #4 is slightly more my favorite. The colors in the background are gorgeous.

I love this one. It’s one of the few pieces of art I have hanging on my wall in my office, next to a print of Van Gogh’s The Starry Night.

Together they provide little calm serenity mixed with whimsical madness to keep me centered during the day. 😸

This is a perfect comic. There are not many around. You must cherish them when you find them.

We have one that’s clearly β€œthe baby” in their first winter. Our big one is most definitely a momma (if not their momma). All the others give her room to eat when she come out.
