No, you just push the Start and Low button simultaneously and the temp will show on the digital display. Those scanners are sweet, though.

I guess he’s more of an abuelito though, at around 5’2”. Now he’s checking my dryers every 5 minutes and reporting the temperature, in between watching loud phone videos that all seem to involve loud screaming laughter.

My dryers, both on Medium, are currently running at 165°F and 110°F. JSYK

Shoutout to the sharply dressed abuelo at the pueblo laundromat showing anyone who’ll listen, in English and/or Spanish, how to check the dryers’ operating temperature. 🖖

screencap of a weather app’s sun tracker showing local daylight at eleven hours forty six minutes with a graphic depicting a round circle divided into bright yellow and cool starry blue that’s split very nearly in half, corresponding to nighttime versus daytime

Black and white art. a bunch of small birds noisily chasing after a big eagle which is rushing away from them down towards the bottom of the page. 
This is bird mobbing: the behavior where small prey Birds en masse attack a predator like a hawk or an eagle. By rushing at the predator making lots of noise they can often scare the predator away and occasionally kill it. see the link in the next post. 
The link above is to the artist's shop if you want to buy a print of this art.

Unsurprisingly, I’ve had ‘em both for a while here, but I love observing the bsky wave of spring firsts as a personalized real-time remote experience of the latitudinal tide of springtime’s joys.

A goofy little found object still life with a bottle of empty vampire blood drizzled over a rock with a plastic bird skull next to it in front of some pink and blue graffiti

Imagine my cackle of delight when I found the plastic bird skull 10 yards from the blood bottle

Same. Sitka is magical, even though I only saw it during a work trip. I may not be a SEAK local anymore, but I’ll return sometime to take a nice, slow milk run.

This is a very powerful place. Even if things are not being gentle with me right now, I'm happy that I'm here, and it feels like I'll be ready for whatever happens next.

A few days ago I lay down in the arroyo and fell asleep on the warm silt, and dreamed I was seeping into the earth and expanding outward, as if I were part of the seasonal river itself, but also living roots questing deep into the subterranean waters. I woke up feeling surprised that I woke up.

I returned to the high desert to process grief, revisit crossroads, and perhaps metamorphosize once again, and for some reason it's REALLY taking it out of me this time. Since I got here I keep thinking "I just gotta make it through the next week," and then new weeks keep just cropping up.

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi. Fisk used aerial photos and maps to estimate the past and then-present channels.

*me writing my HS book report* The sensibilities-challenging plot device is an allegory for uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh … ummm … making friends with wild bears. I think.
