Nice, I like the soft look. Did you see monarch butterflies?

A vibrant sunset over a rocky coastline. The bright sun hangs low in a clear, yellow-gold sky, casting a brilliant shimmering reflection across the ocean waves. In the foreground, dark volcanic rocks and lush green coastal plants are bathed in warm light, while white foam from breaking waves rolls toward the shore.

Happy #Caturday from my trio! Issy is chilling in the scratcher from Christmas that is now apparently a permanent fixture, Christopher has stuffed his chonky self into his small kitten hammock, and Tess is dozing on the warm radiator. All is well.

Rows of white tents at a farmer's market line the walkway. People are turned to view the lion dancers. There are a few scattered clouds in a blue sky. The sounds of drums fills the air.

A close up of lion dancers at my stand at the farmer's market.  The mask is bright, and the white trim looks soft and fuzzy. This is just before "feeding" the lion some money. The dancer in front grabs the money by opening the lions mouth into a wide gape. There were two dancers in this lion. It is good luck to feed the lion, they go to each booth, and interact with the customers as well.

Yes, I had gone in January and it was comfortable. They loved it there, but moved to New York a few years ago.

Cool. My daughter and fam lived in Abu Dhabi for five years, so I got to visit in '23. He worked in nuclear power. We had a lot of fun at the Yas Island parks.

Going through MSP on the way home, and if you happen to wander through here in the next few days, there are now a bunch of signed Scalzi books in the Open Book store.
