And I just checked on Sky Zoo; that site estimates my join number as 51,801. So, not quite as early as the other estimate!

If you see this cat, post a cat

A cat with short black fur looking up at the camera, while sitting on patterned beige linoleum, next to small, open cardboard box and a short white and grey cat tree.

Who knows if this will be the last year we will be gifted with these hilarious calendars, but glad they exist for 2025, at least. www.nwp.usace.army.mil/Media/News-R...

A variety of photos from the 2025 cat and dog calendars created by the Portland District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, showing cats and dogs comically inserted into photos of government infrastructure (usually dams). The cats and dogs are very large in relation to the structures and landscape, so appear as if they are giant cats and dogs.

As far as I know, I’m not a bot. But I was fortunate to attend Neil deGrasse Tyson’s keynote at BoxWorks 2017, where he suggested we all might be living in a simulation. So, I guess I might be a human battery controlled by robots; who knows?

Neil deGrasse Tyson, Department of Astrophysics & Director, Hayden Planetarium, American Museum of Natural History, New York City. He is wearing faded blue jeans and blue dress shirt, patterned tie, and a black sports coat. His eyes are closed; he is holding a microphone with his right hand, and gesturing with his left hand.

I've ridden Amtrak's California Zephyr train a few times, and the trip through the Rocky Mountains always takes my breath away. Photo taken December 23, 2014.
