Athletics vs Rangers in Arlington. Max Muncy not on field.

Texas Rangers official mlb baseball

Arlington, the husk of your former stadium sits empty, shadowy, lonely next to this fully indoor air cooled stadium.

First time I’ve seen cheerleaders at a baseball game.

Somehow the A’s pulled it off minus a very noticeably absent Max Muncy v2.

Having four working boom boxes in my own home, may I say it pleases me to see the witches selling a $10 cassette of the new album. Sealed and all. #lawitchoncassette

LA Witch on marquis, sunset, neon @ Harlow’s midtown Sacramento. April 19

Well California, I squeezed in just about as much as I could today. The day broke early and crisp up Tahoe. Lunch in Nevada City & even a stop at the farm somewhere in there. Ending it loudly, midtown in a crowd of like-minded, black-clothed folks. I am still standing. #starletroom #harlows #lawitch

North fork American River from Windy Point trail.

Parts of Iowa hill are (arguably) notorious “keep out” territory. Someone has helpfully hand-painted a sign on a boulder on the trail: “bears and snakes, this way.”

Today’s hike - Windy Point, Iowa Hill.
I did in fact see a snake. No bears. Also five kayakers braving the north fork.

Fern and moss.

Multicolored moss overtakes a rock in a shaded glen.

Won’t lie, going to miss it. Esp in spring

Moss on tree, sunlight, two days to spring equinox

Yep.

Two days before the equinox a fern-covered hillside slopes down to a muddy path in the American River Canyon, Auburn, California

Strong closing to this cold dark winter

A black cat masters the art of lazing, all four paws dangling as if they had weights on them, on a wooden porch rail at sunset.

Same cat. Same laze. Same sunset.

Another seemingly innocent foodstuff product (brownie mix) has been assimilated and suffused with the ubiquitous REESE’S brand and peanut butter. Reese robot working overtime.

LOST in the supermarket.
I will bite when and only when they release Reese’s grass-fed Filet Mignon* (*this product contains a bioengineered food ingredient. Nothing to see here)
