It is resolved. In addition to the donkey I need, I also need a camel. And one of those giant horses from Prince Edward Island, Canada.

One more -- These two are Boris and Natasha (aka Bobo the large and Tash the murderess). Misty found them as kittens in an abandoned apartment house. She called me, and I said, "bring 'em home." They are spectacular.

Here's one for you. Benny the wonderdog and me. She was initially very man-shy when we adopted her. She got over it pretty quickly. ;-)

Rockwell's stuff was always meant to be proscriptive, not descriptive. His depictions of America were always aspirational. He was saying, "this is who we should be," not "who we are." His later stuff that dealt with race proved the point with great eloquence.

@sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social You've seen princess Lily. This is Pete, the only other dog I've had as an adult. Wayyy back when. I ran across the photo while looking for something else. Dumb as a box of hammers, but the happiest, friendliest dog you'll ever meet. He's a fluffy dog with a good haircut.

Have you seen this guy? Now THIS is a big lizard! (He's safely in Australia, and I hope he stays there). ;-)

It's mostly this. It brings all kinds of joy with it, including sciatica.

Doc Savage @docsavage88.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

This is a stock photo, not actually me, but I have the same gig as is depicted in this horror picture. It doesn't take much to go wrong to feel the joy when this is your anatomy.

Doc Savage @docsavage88.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

it's only a 230, but it is a strong draw. No weight, Japanese reliability, and you can push it as hard as it will go (probably) without getting a ticket. Kawasaki W230. Great around town, but I'd ride it to Winnipeg in a minute.

Misty showed me a picture of sea biscuits (relatives of sand dollars). I said she'd never find any -- they are rare. She just send me this picture from the beach. She found two!

Mahi mahi is maybe the most fun of all though. If you find some along a weed line, you can throw a bare hook, and they'll take it. they are insanely aggressive feeders. and they jump, and they are stone cold beautiful. Irridescent green, blue and yellow. And they make a perfect baja style taco. ;-)

The deer mafia in our front quad. You need written permission to use those chairs. ;-)

It's not much as spinnakers go, but if you really want to make time down wind, this is your girl. I think I've seen bigger ones (at strip clubs, just kidding). ;-)

@ericlars2.bsky.social It's this one. It is an engineering masterpiece. Our is yellow, not red. Fast, seaworthy, and flexible. I am so psyched.

I used to fly a hello kitty pirate flag on my sailboat. I think I'm going to have to double down and get another one.

This is the only pic I have. Misty took it. Its a 19 foot sailing trimaran and I have wanted exactly this boat for years. It is a beast. I used to have 40 foot monsters, but now I just want to sail.

This is a goldfinch. It looks sort of similar to a wilson's warbler.

In memoriam. The Magnificent Princess Lily, 2011 to 2026. I escorted her to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. No dumb boy ever had a more friendly, more loyal, more loving, more irritating best friend in the history of the world.

@sixftjamie.bsky.social Pink! This was originally posted by @pmamtraveller.bsky.social and reposted by my friend @thomasfortenberry.bsky.social, but it seemed right up your alley.

My first bike. I hid it at my girlfriend's house because my parents would have had a conniption if they'd known I bought it. I won a lot of races on that bike.

I am assembling a team. (in order, Alan Turing, Isaac Newton, Aristotle, and Charles Babbage.)

Doc Savage @docsavage88.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

I have two exceptions to that. If Misty or Jason text me at 2 am, I am immediately on point. When Jason got rear ended by a brick house (long story), I needed to be there. It all turned out okay, but there are times when a kid needs his dad.

The beautiful boy on his way to his third straight national championship in Ultimate Frisbee. No father ever had a better son.

The unusual suspension of reason. Why would I see this car, and think, "this is what you need in your life, Michael." it's a Volkswagen man, it's just a Volkswagen! But in the immortal words of Gollum, "but it's my birthday and I wants it." (it's not my birthday.)

Misty actually took a picture (she always takes pictures). Her favourite meal on her favourite plate. Man status = restored. :)

I wish I could say this was just baguettes with socks, but this is my actual leg about 8 months ago. I am apparently allergic to my father. Fortunately, I found an excellent dermatologist, and I'm back in the game (trigger warning, this photo is gross).

@cpaone.bsky.social We're going here this weekend. Details to follow.

@beeregenerative.bsky.social We got a monarch in our courtyard! First one I've seen in years!

The tower of babel was very likely a ziggurat.

Probably sheer dumb luck that I ended up with the one kid I could raise. But I made this, and I am extraordinarily proud of him.

Doc Savage @docsavage88.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

@marchurboston.bsky.social Misty and I went to the pig last night. We both got the smoked brisket platter, but got a Carolina Cubano to bring home for my dad. Those guys make maybe the best barbecue I've ever had. No corners cut.

The manual for the chainsaw I just bought. Damn. There goes my whole tree pruning plan. I don't know why, but I feel the overwhelming urge to tag @cpaone.bsky.social in this one.

Doc Savage @docsavage88.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

If every town has a food it is particularly proud of, here it is the blt (and the barbecue). This is a double blt, as modeled by my son. It is a beast.
