FYI birders - I was curious about whether to keep using the Merlin app, but I am comfortable with it given this information
threads post from "squiresdujour":  "I use the Merlin app for my interest in birds, and it is wonderful.  Please understand that Merlin and the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation organization managed as part of Cornell's land grand programs, and is NOT part of the large private endowed college.  Let's please direct our well justified anger to the proper targets."

So, we have a mural in the basement that came with the house (photo from listing, currently just got boxes in front of it)...
Hand-painted mural behind some drums and guitars, it is very hard to describe but let's call it a very high sun rising/setting behind desert-style mountains with clouds or snow on top and the sun is I guess vomiting or inhaling a golden river... I'm just saying whoever painted this was never not high.

My office-studio is a mostly-converted one-car garage, which is pretty cool but the windows are west-facing and have to be covered lest I turn to ash in my chair every afternoon., and also privacy. Dollar store Halloween tablecloth to the rescue!

The rain and clouds have come back to our blighted land. Light jackets are migrating in for another year. We have consumed the Dutch baby, to ensure a good flannel harvest. We have performed the ritual of Elmer's.

Nothing is in place but we've got a (alt text) dry patio in the rain at dusk, the porch TV is deployed, we are kicked back ( end alt) we've finally maybe gotten mom down for the night, and our new adjustable bed is assembled and made upstairs. A fine first night in our new house.

I admire this cat's absolute refusal to be intimidated my moving. The Distribution System is remarkable. This is 90 minutes after the movers left and she was released from bathroom jail. She decided not to attempt the jump onto the piano.

Just hanging out in my new back yard.
A wide expanse of green lawn surrounded by mostly evergreen trees, with a fenced off garden in the back left corner and a fire pit area in the back right. The porch roof is shading the nearest strip of lawn and a pot of purple and yellow flowers hangs in the top left.A gray dining chair serves as a table for some jalapeño cheddar Cheetos, with one Shiner Bock on each side on the ground. Steps and support beams and grass and fence can be seen in the background

We're pretty much across the finish line, y'all want to see my new back yard? Yes, this is all getting converted to garden.

Without downloading anything new, where are you, mentally?
A painting of a woman in an odd yellow period tube-top over a heavily padded white coat-top (might be suffragette/suffragist-era protest fashion?) looks diretly into the pov holding a sign on a wooden post.  The sign reads "If you see a toilet in your dream, don't use it."

Everyone take a 30-second break from FUCKING EVERYTHING and check out my yard skeleton's new outfit (we will have to put them in a clear plastic poncho soon to keep the feathers dry)
A neon green 5-foot-tall skeleton sits in a green lawn chair.  It is wearing a Mardi Gras outfit all in green, yellow, and purple: sequin headband with feathers and fleur-de-lis, gold masquerade mask, feather boa, beads, and a tutu. Its right hand is raised to wave at the dog walkers on the sidewalk.

I'm trying to assemble a rather substantial drugstore order to be delivered to my aunt's nursing home and I think I've been working on this order for so long either I or the UI have started to hallucinate?
Image of the front of a dark blue-green solid antiperspirant tube. Label on the cap says "72H NONSTOP Sweat & Odor Protection". 

Label on the body is mostly hot pink including a photographic silhouette of a man holding up a basketball on the right side of the label. On the left of the label is a 90's-ish paint swath of teal and a large neon yellow checkmark behind most of the text reads (hang on to your hats) "Degree

NO
A still from the film Apollo 13, where astronaut Jack Swigert duct-taped a piece of torn-out paper with the word NO written in heavy-scratched pen ink over a switch on a barely lit console. Later, when asked, he explained he was so tired he was afraid he would flip that switch at the wrong time and jettison them all into space and immediate death.

I was shopping for airplane snacks and was offered THIS among the Lunchables. Tell me that's not a Ham Bag with American Cheese trim.
Grocery website listing reads "$7.99 Everyday Living(r) Cube Bag - Pink" but y'all it's precistely the pink of cured ham and the trim and shoulder strap are exactly the orange of Kraft Singles American Cheese Food Product.

A clip from a children's book cover of a 1920s-30s illustrated rabbit in a yellow slicker poncho holding an unopened red umbrella and (seemingly) gleefully splashing in a puddle.  Text in a smaller quaint script reads "Oh God, It's" and then large bold red text says "THIS ASSHOLE AGAIN"
