Oh, it's a wonderful movie. The cast is amazing. Watch out for the (demented) pastor.

Mass of steam from a power plant backlit by the sunrise. Colors are peach, tangerine, and burnt orange.

21st century cloud factory, anyone? The taller ones was taken about 5 minutes after the first.

Pat Beyonce for me.

Have you watched That Christmas yet? Mr. McNutt and Dasher are good for the soul (Rhys Darby & Gus Khan).

[Goddamnit, dee! I don't have time for this now! We have company this weekend. My BFF & her daughter/my goddaughter drove 400 miles to introduce me to the first grandchild/great godchild.]

I wish the happiest of birthdays for you. 🎂

Sparkley is a good thing. As Oslove Ed said, "I have accepted that I will always glitter." @eevla.bsky.social

True. I guess I'll let it depend on gaps in my existing project schedule.

Thanks. That's an interesting idea. I can interpret that to mean that I'd be "forced" to make a placemat for the runner, to achieve the wider framed option. Bummer, another project involving quilting and design. /jk

Even 6" panels

Center 6", sides 3.5"

Help! Can anybody give me some quick advice? I'm having the vapors about sizing this runner. I thought I wanted the panels all at 6" but now I'm thinking the sides should be about 3.5 (Golden Ratio). I pondered too long and now I'm in decision paralysis. Thoughts?

Last night I dreamt that I had broken my back, again. I woke up in terrible pain to find that my chubby cat was sleeping across my low back.

Your dream was so much worse. 🫂

Great sunset this evening. Oranges, looking West. Pinks, looking East.

I'm getting to that stage of life when I'd rather be myself than a performative social construct. However, a lifetime of modulation means that my filters are re-setting on the fly. Please let me know when they need tuning.

On a scale of 1 to creepy, tell me if I'm being too parasocial.

I've gotten a couple of my kids invested in your matches. If you have a new Insta follower or 2, it might be my fault...

Keep 'em coming, please. In case you haven't noticed, there's at least 1 big fan on Bluesky. 😁

Beautiful early evening

Tumblr has your number.

No, don't look further. This really is pretty perfect. I hope things get more cheery for you.

Perfect! Thank you! This works so well for my "friend's" plan. Which may or may not involve some real soppiness and a re-proposal. Shh. You didn't hear that from me.

Is it too forward to profess my adoration of you and your delightful brain?

You do what's best for you, first, always. Knowing you're ok is sufficient for me (though you'll be missed!)

I'd invite you over for a visit, but Google Earth hasn't been updated around here since we built our house.

How about a really beautiful place to go hiking? I found a full size telescope at the top once. I got to keep it, eventually.

About 45 minutes later

Dawn clouds layered in pastels frame a leafless tree. I think Red Shouldered hawks use this tree as a resting spot while hunting.

good morning. I'm glad I risked slipping on the ice for this.

Hmm. Got anything in a hands-clasped, dreamy eyes, looking off camera, maybe on one knee sort of thing? Asking for a friend is all.

My brain immediately crosswired to Duran Duran singing Hungry Like the Wolf

As did I, but your health & happiness trump my thirst.

If you wanna see Gonzo vs Taika posts. There’s a feed for that 🥸😆😁 Next week will start weekly posts. Mondays and Fridays. The occasional random days. Old and new. It is going to be fun.

Most everything I like is at least a little random...

Clouds
Sunrise & sunset
Rain
House cats
Really nice, comfortable shoes
Rail transportation
Designing a new quilt
Perfect points
Small, subject-specific museums
Fights between descriptive & prescriptive grammarians

🥳
