White text on a black field, reading "WTAF? Just like trump's underwear, the White House does not need that ballroom."

Any chance all of the priceless articles housed there have been cataloged and safely stored? Yeah, I didn't think so.

That was my first question as well. Have they all been cataloged, properly packaged, and stored in someplace other than a gold-painted bathroom in mara-landfill.

Moonrise over Carcassonne, France.

Check out the moonrise tonight. While this isn't lined up over the castle quite as beautifully as I would have liked, I only went as far as the top floor of my building to take it, so I can't complain.

Happy birthday to the man on whose teachings I've based my life. #MelBrooks

I concur, the second frame is more interesting for the viewer without being overwhelming. As always, you made the right call!

Today we had fun storming the castle on an ordinary Sunday.
Yes, I mixed references from two different sources of different mediums, but they tie together because Mandy Patinkin was (brilliant) in both, so it's okay.

Don't know if it's true.
Don't care if it's true.
It's hilarious! 🤣
(And there's a good chance it's true.)

Oh, good morning France! 🙂

Went to see a movie in one of the most beautiful cinemas in the world, Le Colisée. Th entire centerpiece is stained glass, but sadly it's backlight want on. Stunning architecture.

Beautiful shot, in a beautiful city!

You've surely heard of the Maltese Falcon. Apparently I only get the Maltese Pigeon. This was right outside the window of my Miranda upon arriving here in Malta. Note his excellent use of evil uplighting and his intense side-eye.

History dictates that now would be a pretty good time to start hiding some of the more important works held at the Smithsonian.

Just out for a little stroll in my new neighborhood.

This bridge was constructed in the 1300s. I can walk across it to get from my place to the castle that sits atop the hill on the other side of the river. My life is silly.

A fairytale-like stone castle inside a walled city sits atop a hill of varying greens under a light blue sky with a few large puffy clouds. In the lower half of the image, an old bridge crosses a small river that runs right towards the viewer.

My new hometown. 🇫🇷

Juvenile Bald Eagle flying against a blue sky. In the background, two trees hold about ten more Bald Eagles.

A lone adult Bald Eagle sits atop the end of a thick branch, looking off to the left, in front of a blue sky.

A trio of Bald Eagles, two adult and one juvenile, sit atop the bare branches of a tree, against a clear blue sky.

Closeup of a Bald Eagle, showing her head and upper torso, looking to the left. The wind is blowing some of the feathers on her head, which are lit strongly from the right. The sky behind her is a bright blue.

Every year in Jan/Feb, hundreds of Bald Eagles flock to Colorado, apparently for the Big Bald Eagle Convention. I saw ten or twelve this morning, all hanging out in the same area. I never tire of seeing these amazing dinosaur descendants.

L.A. folks, if you have the chance, it is suggested that you do a video walkthrough of your home. This will make it easier for you to challenge the insurance companies when they try to deny your claims.
Which they probably will.
Stay safe!

I threw it once to check the trajectory, then took a knee and grabbed it on the second attempt, so really, on the third throw. I was as surprised as anyone!

LEDs make everything better. And no, you can't have too many of them at your workbench!

The weather is nice indeed!

I will continue to scream about the cosmos, but lately it feels more like I'm just screaming ~into~ The only black void of the cosmos.
Thank you for sharing your joy and love of space! It helps!

Two American Bald Eagles, perched high atop a pair of tree branches. One with its back to the camera, looking off to the left, the other with its right side to the camera, looking directly into the lens. The sky behind them is a very light blue.

A single American Bald Eagle in flight, taking up most of the frame. He is flying from left to right, his wings high almost at the peak of their movement. The sky behind him is a very light blue.

They're back! For about a year and a half, we had between four and six Bald Eagles (two were young, still with their adolescent coloring) just outside our neighborhood, but they disappeared in early summer this year. Well, at least two of them are back! Expect lots of pictures!

Caught these two on my way home from work today, just north of Denver, CO. A fairly common occurrence in my neighborhood. Last year there were four locals and two visitors who showed up in January/February. I still never tire of seeing them.

They look amazing! I love a good challenge coin. Great work!!

Since I have the word "robot" in my handle, I figured my first post should be about one of my robots. I made this wirelessly controlled candy throwing bot in 2020, to be able to give out Halloween candy from an appropriate (social) distance. It was deadly accurate!
