My soft spot is that I'm glad it exists. And I like wondering about why people like it!

Dana's Field House. On Christmas morning, for the first time, I didn't see anyone outside smoking. But I did see someone trying the door.

I think chili has to have chili powder or chiles as the main spice. I also think it has to have beans, but I'm sure not everyone agrees.

These preening Oystercatchers are from Bird Portraiture (โ€œHow To Do Itโ€ Series No. 35) by noted British naturalist artist & illustrator Charles Tunnicliffe, published in London & New York by The Studio in 1945. The illustrations come from the chapter on โ€œPoses and Action Studies."

This was an essential Covid lockdown album for me. Five years and I can't re-enter it quite yet.

There's an actual stop sign at the entrance going SB. I almost got hit by a guy who didn't stop there last year. The google street view illustrates pretty well how confusing/dangerous it is.

Definitely. I stopped reading the comments pretty quickly. Because reddit.

I stand by the need to paint the speed bumps better. I honestly have trouble seeing them when they're faded, especially where there is slush, lots of leaves, dappled sunlight, etc. And I'm not speeding, either.

Sad, but not surprising. The book is always better (except for Children of Men)
