Another image from the recent past: this little Burger/shake hut is a big deal in Boise, Idaho, USA. One can’t judge until one has experienced Fanci Freeze on a December day.
The fire pit (not visible) helps. Alt text: 50’s era burger joint. Walk up windows. One customer. Cloudy crisp day.

It’s time to clear out phone photos before my next trip. This image is from just over a year ago. We had stopped in Cedar City at a truckstop. This photo captures the moment when I finally realized that truckers have some incredible headsets. Alt text: several headsets on display in locked case.

I’ve been away and don’t know if anyone will see my posts anymore, but… soon I’m heading to the EU with my sweetie and my daughter. I’ll share pics and promise not to wait in any instagrammer line. You’ll see plain-old-average Italy, Spain and Switzerland.

Travel memory: while on a EU trip with other HS seniors, I mentioned (in a disappointed way) that I’d lost 5 pounds. One of the other teen girls tried to encourage me by saying, “That’s great! I bet It’s from all the walking we’ve been doing.”

I had to inform her I was talking about the money.

Researching a trip, I just learned that the Uffizi Gallery in Florence forbids talking on the phone, bringing knives and/or drones inside. But if you want to propose marriage in the museum, they're cool with that... just don't bring any photographers along.

I spent a couple of hours trying out text-to-image AI on Adobe Firefly. Yes, it’s nifty… but— even when I give a specific paragraph of detail, it can’t add the cars I asked for and it keeps inserting a moon in the night sky.
>sigh< I’ll bet @dcroucher doesn’t get this pushback from his AI.

I guess I’m an enabler. The Sky Chihuahuas are depleting their food source every day. I used to be able to get by with three days between refills.

It’s been a refreshing chunk of days. In ignoring the US political theater I’ve been cleaning closets, bike riding on the coast, watching the hummingbirds on my balcony. I tuned in to Spoutible today and many are upset about someone’s posts.
I’m scrolling on because I control what my safe space is

I’m at a polling place in CA. So pleased to see multiple stations for voters needing accessibility accommodation, ballots in several languages, and a live video chat available for ASL translations on how to vote and scan your ballot. It’s so easy to make a difference. Go vote.

Rain storm installed a pond in the school field.
Ducks moved in by day.
Frogs take over by night.

All just over yonder from my balcony.

Cleaning the closet: found a bear bell, a buncha old postcards, a typewritten letter from 1991 (so cool) and a scrapbook from 1969 about the Apollo moon landing.

The storm in SoCal has reached biblical status: FROGS have moved into the LAKE that’s appeared in the school property. (Video will not load but - dude, that’s a lot of frogs out there croaking in the dark)

Notifications has told me I have 191 likes or comments responses but when I look, there’s nothing. So if any of you are trying to talk to me, I can’t find you.😂😂😂

New year. New resolutions. Happy to report that I cancelled the gym membership.
I’m not letting procrastination get in my way in 2024.

I’m sitting here in urgent care, scanning posts. Just realized I haven’t seen Salty Pete’s spouts in a while. When I look him up it says he has no posts yet.
Is this what it’s like to be blocked?
