The Black Cat. 1922. www.joseflebovicgallery.com/pages/books/...

Beautiful woodcut print of a black cat sitting in front of a wall that some flowering vines are climbing. It is black ink printed on off white paper. It is incredibly detailed and I don't know if this was the artist's intention but it gives me the impression that the light source is a full moon. It just looks like a bright night rather than daylight.

Decided to get Waffle House for lunch before writing. The cook is singing the theme to “Elmo’s World” in a high-pitched voice and the waitress keeps calling me “baby doll,” thereby making this an absolutely normal trip to Waffle House.

Pussy willows by Margaret Ely Webb! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pu.... The full book is available here: babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hv...

A long, slim black ink pen illustration of pussy willows, but instead of just the little grey flower cluster puffs there are chubby kittens sitting, leaning, and climbing from the branches.

Apparently bluesky thinks FREE JAZZ is too risqué for our sheltered and impressionable minds.

Denver & Rio Grande Western #478’s “tourist bait” stack on display at the Southern California Railroad Museum in Perris California.

The “tourist bait” stacks of the D&RGW were ascetic stacks designed to slide over the straight stacks of the D&RGW’s K-28 class of narrow gauge 2-8-2’s. These stacks were designed to make the 1920’s era locomotives look older to try and attract more tourists to the railroads narrow gauge passenger service. This design earned the nickname “Tourist bait” for the railroads management due to their cosmetic nature.

Photo of D&RGW #478 in service with the “Tourist bait” stack.

Here's why you don't let indoor cats outside. They run off and return with another cat that looks exactly like them and then you have another goddamn cat

My grey and white cat Victor, sitting on the ground cleaning himself. Behind him, just barely visible in the shadow of the gate and watching him carefully, is a slightly smaller cat that looks just like him. (We're calling him Harley for the moment.)

As someone who has gone off-roading before that this is not even close to being a offroad trail.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! Postcard from my collection, 1902.

Black and white photo of a medium haired tabby kitten (looks ginger) peeking out a small prop egg. It looks happy and comfortable. Text reads "A New Arrival".

A SP cab forward guides the California Zephyr over Donner pass due to rock slides on the Western Pacific Coast 1952.

Photo from one of the many dome cars on the California Zephyr of a SP 4-8-8-2 cab forward leading the Western Pacific F units which typically lead the Zephyr. The California Zephyr in the early 1950’s was routed over the Western Pacific’s line through the feather River canyon. However rock slides in 1952 lead the Zephyr being routed over the Southern Pacific’s Donner Pass. Since the train had motive power for the lighter grades of the Feather River a helper was added to the front when the train reached SP tracks in the form of a cab forward steam locomotive. This locomotive would lead the train to the SP WP junction in Sacramento where the Zephyr would return to home rails.

So glossy! Photo from my collection, ca. 1920s. The cat is identified as “Bamie” - maybe named after Bamie Roosevelt? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamie_R...

The Scottish wildcat is absolutely, 100% fed up with your bullshit.

A Scottish wildcat peers out from behind a tree. It looks like a large brown tabby house cat and has a permanently annoyed expression.

A full-body photo of a Scottish wildcat, showing its stocky build, bushy tail, and exceedingly disgruntled expression. It looks like it was having a nice quiet stroll when you surprised it and insisted on striking up a conversation. Its muscles are tensed and poised to escape this unwanted social interaction.
