So did Heather, hence the "how dare you" comment. I didn't even know it was Bloom County, but the art style does look familiar.

I remember downloading this image from a BBS in 1993 because I thought it was really funny. Seeing it now... it's just mildly amusing at best.

A photo of a juvenile Cooper's hawk (Astur cooperii) perched on the flat top of a cut off tree stump, its wings held partially out, tail up, and feathers floofed out while it gazes upward with its beak slightly open. It's a medium-sized hawk with a dark brown upper body, streaky brown and tan breast & belly, striped tail, smalled hooked beak, and pale irises. The background is a blurred shady forest setting.

Both of the ones with green text are official VHEMT bumper stickers. I originally thought of VHEMT as just an early Internet thing, but there's a couple of folks that still attend local events here and set up a tent to continue to spread the word (and sell bumper stickers).

The Pet Shop Boys song "Suburbia" was released on September 22, 1986. The sitcom ALF, whose theme song sounds almost identical, premiered on September 22, 1986. What does it mean?

Note about the linked video: Paul Frees is the voice of KARR in "KITT vs. KARR" (season 3) but Peter Cullen was the original voice of KARR in "Trust Doesn't Rust" (season 1), and in the 2008 Knight Rider reboot.

We like to put small treats in the little free library sometimes for the kids, like stickers or toys. Someone decided it needed a few other items, including wart remover. 😐

💯 I love that he was in that episode. The next time KARR appears in Season 3 it's just not the same without "Larry."

Optimus Prime was cool, but his best role was obviously that of the "Knight Automated Roving Robot, KARR if you prefer."

You know you can foster a set of perfect matching ding-dongs like this with your local animal rescue, and then keep them all for yourself when you decide no one else is good enough for them? 🐶🐶 #InternationalDogDay

A photo of two very similar looking light brown staffie type dogs lying on a living room floor, sort of on a fuzzy white dog bed. One is dressed in a spotted deer fleece and wears a name tag on its collar that says "AUGIE," and the other wears a name tag that says "GREMLIN." Both are looking into the camera expectantly.

Gonna have to plant a lot more grapes. Also, there's so much good wine; no one needs me making bad wine.

Andy 🛋️ @andycouch.com · 26/08/2026

Last year's batch was just one gallon of the purple grapes. This year is 1.5 gallons of purple grapes and 2.5 gallons of green grapes. I'm hoping this is enough to yield about one pint of jelly after I cook them down.

When I was 3-years old, this was my favorite song, probably just because it had my name in it. My mom had this album on a white 8-track tape and I would ask to listen the song regularly.

I'm heartbroken by the news about Dolly Parton. Speaking as someone from Appalachia, she always represented the very best of our culture and people in a world that defaulted to negative stereotypes of the region. What a loss.

I had the first Paula Abdul album on cassette, so no judgement. I didn't get The Real Thing on CD until I had a CD player in my car. That was the primary decision maker for format choice.

My first two CDs were purchased at the same time. One is still in regular rotation, the other I haven't listened to in this millennia.

Tomahawk.

A photo of Mike Patton, a middle-aged man with braided dark hair, singing passionately on stage under red and white stage lights, head tilted back and mouth wide open, holding a corded microphone up in his raised right hand. He wears a white button-up shirt under a black vest. A projection reading "Tomahawk" (almost) is visible in the background, along with a drummer. A setlist is taped to equipment on the right.

The copyright text says 1996, but I think I actually made this in 1995. The televison was colorized from a black & white capture from a Connectix QuickCam of a television we had sitting in our office for some reason.

Something reminded me about the very first animated GIF I ever made, back when animated GIFs were actually animated images following the GIF89a specifcation, not the videos that sites like Giphy just call "GIFs" today. Ironically, I had to capture this as a video just to share.

Andy 🛋️ @andycouch.com · 10/08/2026

I posted the image jokingly because it was just so bad, but there is also nuance to the laws per state as well. For instance, California allows "skull cap" helments, but Tennesse requires full coverage helmets. (Two states I've lived in.)

Andy 🛋️ @andycouch.com · 10/08/2026

If you'd like to know the laws by state, here's a very detailed and accurate map.
