Kinda far from it, actually, but nonetheless, we have the return of Beware of Strangers Baring Gifs Day, with another fine selection of animated foibles, curiosities, and giggles. Once again, these were collected from various places online (mostly theChive.com) that were never

To make you appreciate what you have
It’s easy to take things for granted, so from time to time, it’s actually good for people to suffer a little just so they understand that their life isn’t normally bad at all, which is what today’s holiday is all about, since this is Now You Know It Could Be Worse Day. And humanitarian that I am, I’m prepared (well, not exactly, since this should have
Walkabout recommends: The Hudsucker Proxy
Despite being a Coen Brothers film, with writing and direction assistance by Sam Raimi, I’ve found very few people familiar with this one, and it’s a shame because this is a great little story on its own, even if it doesn’t quite measure up to the more popular films that they’ve made. This also came out in 1994, at roughly the same time as Forrest Gump, which naturally
An illustration
While the property has been overrun with bebby anoles, it’s also seeing more than its fair share (whatever that may be) of bebby frogs as well. This is a scale photo of one from the other night:
That is my left thumb. The sickly pink one, I mean, not the green one, and just now I realized I should have named the image, “greenthumb.jpg.” Too late now stupid.
Look at your thumb just
It hasn’t rained for days…
… but now that I have some serious video that I need a voiceover for, it’s raining. We did this on the last one, didn’t we?
Literally a meter from the door
Yes, it’s/they’re more likely female I think, but whatever. Just shut up.
Actually, the white thing is a bucket catching rainbarrel overflow, so I popped the second one into it and carried them both
Last chance for July
It’s that time of the month again – you have until midnight to get what you need from July, because after that it’s gone. We tried to warn you…
And that means it’s end-of-the-month abstract time, though I think I’m abusing the definition of that word again. But here it is anyway, free of charge, so file your complaints appropriately.
After one of
‘Tis been a year…
… since we first saw the new Walkabout Estates Plus in person.
Yep, we were perusing the real estate listings and considering this location, initially having rejected it for not having some specific criteria, then a closer look seemed to contradict that, indicating that it actually met those criteria. The Girlfriend had the day off for the Juneteenth holiday, and I said, “You
Intended and appropriate
Okay, this holiday actually occurred almost a week ago on May 25th, but I’m bringing it up now intentionally, and you’ll understand why in a moment – give or take.
Today (not today) is the birthday of Dumfroot Spaglokkit, known far and wide to photographers as the inventor of the shutter lag. Here’s his story:
In the early days of the field when photographers had to create
Another kind of Osprey
I’m quite fond of rotorcraft, and rarely get to indulge this in any way, though the local airport being used for refueling the regional medevacs helps to some degree, and occasionally we get buzzed. But as we found long before moving here when only visiting the town, said airport also gets used for practice by Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotors, military aircraft likely based out of Cherry
Two staples
It’s been a busy couple of days, and so I haven’t cleared any of the backlog while, yes of course, adding to it. So I’ll clear two add-ons and reduce the amount of deficit by a small degree. Seriously, I shouldn’t even be doing this, since I’ve got a shitload of photos to sort too, and will be returning to that once this is posted. Anyway, two from this morning.
