A photo of a cat under a bed with a rotisserie chicken with the caption:
This is Beans. Beans stole a while rotisserie chicken off the counter. Not a piece. The whole chicken. Beans dragged it under the bed and growled at us for forty minutes. Beans is 9 pounds.

It just flashed to mind certain scenes from Scary Movies I saw - the TV was perfectly positioned for viewing when I peeked over the headboard from my room - that scared the beezus out of me as a kid:
1. The tub and well scenes in "The Changeling"
2. Danny Glick scratching the window in "Salem's Lot"

Trace fossils FTW again! Earliest known (300+ mya) evidence from Germany of scaled skin in reptiles from body impressions with tracks, includes imprint of a cloacal vent (probably SFW because it's a trace fossil). ๐งช๐พ๐ฆ #ichnology

One the right is a black dog and above it says โLinkedInโ. Below it says,
Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions.
Humbled by the unwavering support of my family and local stakeholders.
This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance, ownership, and continuous improvement.
Looking forward to scaling this impact in future engagements.

Head and shoulders view of an owl perched among a network of twigs.
February is pretty much the Bird Doldrums around here, but every once in a while there is an unexpected highlight. In Feb 2022, this was mine. Great Grey Owl #birds
(The best part was that it wasnโt even looking at me. Undisturbed owl FTW!)

Top down view of a black kitty curled up on a beige pillow with eggs and birds and script pattern, sleeping tunes sleep of not view caring that my lap has been cruelly abandoned.

That's a good link!
I did check the freezer part which looks fine. The ish starts at the little drain port in the fridge: the water from the freezer defrost cycle doesn't drain from the catch cup, so there's something obstructing the drain distal to that.
