That’s a sporting term, isn’t it? Shame how these get into our vernacular…
So the saga of computer headphone port repair dragged on much longer than it should have – I just wanted to be able to use headphones on my computer! The parts arrived about a week ago, and I realized
All right, it’s been long enough since the last one, so we can get back to this saga from a few days back.
The Girlfriend bought a selection of chrysanthemums, but before they were planted they were clustered together on the front lawn, and it wasn’t long at all before the Carolina anoles (Anolis carolinensis) discovered the charms of these. In going past one afternoon, I spotted
Got a double for this one, though one (at least) has been seen before, so we’ll start with that one. This is, once again, a capture of the Magic Bucket of Variety, which had been quiet for a while before turning up this guy as the weather has been getting crisper. I’m still at a loss as to why so many things
We all know dreams can get pretty weird I know my strangest tend to come if I’m running a fever, or alternately if I took a dose of naproxen sodium (the drug behind Aleve) before retiring. Otherwise, most of my dreams now are fragmentary and generally very mundane, ordinary events that might occur during the day.
The other night was different, and one particular detail stands out to me. You
I mentioned earlier that the Orionids meteor shower is supposed to peak soon, while right now, comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon is brightening and visible just after sunset, naturally to the west. We had perfectly clear skies on Saturday night, so I decided to try my hand at both, beginning with the comet.
[A note about comet names: They start with ‘C’ for comet, then the year
In the past two days, I’ve gotten a shitload of images, at least four post’s worth, so I’ll be working my way down through them over the next few days (hopefully without adding too many as I go.) Right now, we’ll stick to a minor bit of drama.
Going past the fireplace last night, I thought something looked off, and a closer look revealed why.
Not really sure
You’ll notice that I corrected the roman numerals this time, after blowing it for the last two Estate Find posts – don’t ask me what I was thinking. And we have nothing new for this one, but we’ll feature two for the week anyway.
The first was done at the same time as the previous post’s pics, only about a meter or so away. I saw a flash of movement as I got closer,
I know, no posts for five days and I come back with that previous one. You’ve probably already switched over to some celebrity gossip site, haven’t you?
I blame it on conditions. For over a week we’ve been dealing with the side effects of some storm system and it’s been solid overcast the entire time – that’s simply not normal for this area. However, this is directly
Today is National Grouch Day (no foolin’) and in the past, I’ve had a list of ways to participate, to which I will refer you since I’m almost certain that you haven’t yet tried them all, and coming up with new ideas that are not variations of the same things is
We have The Manatee over as a guest this week and have thus been busy doing things other than chasing critters, but I have to give him credit for finding this one, immediately upon my commenting that I needed to try and find something. Our first view comes from inside, looking out, early in the morning:
