I'm not a graphic designer, but I might have made a different choice if I had designed this book cover:

Thanks to @itsthebrandi.bsky.social I just discovered the backpack I've been carrying for almost 8 years has a whistle on the support straps! And it's not a hiking-specific bag!

A little break to look at my dog Leia pondering existence

The first sign of fall in the Corcoran neighborhood appeared today

A Halloween inflatable composed of 5 large grinning jack o'lanterns of varying sizes on either side of a purple tombstone that reads "RIP". A black cat with blinking red lights for eyes sits on top of the tombstone. It is in front of a stucco house that is on a hill.

A very summery sight (the good kind):

A bumblebee is perched on the center of a hot pink zinnia, gathering pollen. The bee's zinnia is surrounded by zinnias of other colors.

I was investigating who bought one of the houses across the street. The woman who lives next door told me that they had ripped out the built in buffet, and I found evidence on the IG account of the "Bay Area realtor" who seems to have bought it

Classic south Minneapolis dining room with built in buffet made of dark wood with glass cabinets at the back of the room

Area where built in buffet and wooden doors to kitchen and second floor once were but now are removed

Area where wall around built in buffet and wooden door to kitchen once was. Now there is only open space

When I need to stop focusing on all the terrible things happening, I look at this cute little face and feel better

I finally saw a Cybertruck in person for the first time yesterday as I was walking my dog in my neighborhood. And today there's one parked a block from my house (possibly the same one as yesterday)

This AI generated image from her website does not inspire confidence either

Image of "Vote for.... Becka Thompson" sign with weird repetitions and spelling errors that indicate it was AI-generated like "UNL SMION STRONG" and "LGT PROBLEM SORVER"

I saw these lilacs blooming yesterday, and it was so shocking at this late date (although I know it's not an unheard of thing for them to bloom again on new growth)

I'm not ready for the dark times yet (I never am)

Maple tree with lots of leaves that have turned red toward the top of the tree. The tree is against a clear blue sky.

I kicked aside what I thought was a dried leaf on the sidewalk, but it turns out I interrupted bee sex. They barely seemed to notice.

I stumbled across this baffling Don Samuels sign while walking my dog yesterday. The 2nd handmade one I've seen in my neighborhood for him even!

Handpainted yard sign lying on the sidewalk. The sign reads "Vote for Love" in the upper left corner. There is a red heart drawn in the lower left corner. The rest of the sign reads "Don Samuels" in large red and blue letters with "US Congress Fifth District" scrawled underneath it in red.

In my building's recycling bin this morning:

Four old vinyl album covers taped together to make a background poster for the phrase "LISTEN TO YOUR PAST" painted in pink letters. The albums are A Chorus Line, Liza Minnelli, the Village People, and Anita Bryant (from left to right).

My dad is now apparently the mascot and muse for the pizza restaurant where he works. He's been depicted on their chalk sign twice this year.

Picture of chalkboard with words "We have wings on Wednesdays" and a drawing of a white man with blue eyes and white hair and beard wearing a blue hat, green shirt, brown pants. He is holding a rolling pin in his right hand and has a speech bubble that says, "Hi I'm John I heart pizza!"

Picture of chalkboard sign that says "Pizza time!" There is a drawing of a white man with blue eyes and a white beard and hair wearing a blue hat, blue t-shirt, and black apron with a green peace sign on it. He is depicted holding up a sign that says, "Hi my name is John I heart Good Wood [the name of the pizza restaurant] Come meet me!"

[Dog picture break] I adopted Leia 5 years ago yesterday. She's smart, sweet, and stubborn. I've been so glad for her company, especially since 2020.

I saw this sign in the expo at the conference I'm at, and I had to share it

A rectangular sign has the words "Your mission is submission" at the top and "BCSJ & ChemLett" at the bottom. There is a picture of a snow-topped mountain in the background, and two Japanese men are pictured in the foreground.

I was looking at some marketing materials for an upcoming professional society event and came across this critter. I think this pharmacist needs more sexual harassment training.

Cartoon drawing of a mole holding a prescription bottle and dressed in masculine professional clothing wearing a white lab coat with a pen in the chest pocket. The word "PHARMACIST" is across the front of the figure. The mole has a leering grin and is looking creepily to its left.

My dog finished her post-walk frozen pumpkin and turned and looked at me as if to say, "what's next?"

I'm so excited for a tomato sandwich with this Cherokee Purple tomato that I grew! (Sadly I don't have Duke's Mayonnaise for it)
