50° and clear as the local #Souderton district middle schools go head to head. My daughter is on the sports journalism club so she’s out here with a camera and a notepad getting content. Son with me in the stands is mildly impressed but cold. I’m having flashbacks to 1995.

A panoramic view of a high school football stadium at dusk, featuring players on the field in red uniforms, bleachers filled with spectators, and stadium lighting illuminating the scene. A scoreboard is visible, along with goalposts and surrounding facilities.

In the world of offensive user design, this Cancel button does not turn off the obnoxious video, instead it cancels your credit card transaction and makes you start over. The help button calls an attendant.

A digital screen at a gas pump displays an instructional message to "Replace nozzle when finished," alongside an image showing hands preparing a salad with a lemon. There are buttons labeled "Help" and "Cancel" on the screen.

Working from the pavilion at Reed Park today where the low hum of 476 reminds me of working from my old backyard with the sound of the Baltimore Beltway in the distance.

A sunny outdoor park scene featuring a dog standing near a picnic table under a shelter. In the background, there is a large open grassy area, basketball courts, and a baseball field. A blanket and some personal items are placed on the table.

The world may not be great right now, but at least my workday includes this doofy chonk

An orange cat is lying on a person's lap, appearing relaxed. One hand gently holds the cat while the other rests on a gaming keyboard and mouse on a desk. The setting is cozy and casual.

After the scouts got their turn at the BB rifle range yesterday the parents got a few minutes before cleanup to fire at fresh targets. And while it’s not really a fair comparison, it does feel really good to knock out the center of a bullseye at 10 feet like a carnival game.

Two official BB shooting targets are displayed side by side. The target on the left shows multiple bullet holes, with some close to the center. The target on the right has fewer holes but features a significant tear in the center.

Today’s local park, dedicated to a township supervisor who was a local advocate for open space in the seventies.

A bronze plaque mounted on a stone pedestal honors Robert Clemens Bucher, recognizing his dedication to preserving open space and the history of Lower Salford Township. It mentions his roles on the Lower Salford Township Board of Supervisors.

Funding for the project I work on has been paused (stop work notice) due to the U.S. federal government shutdown and although its causing me an unreasonable amount of stress to be essentially out of work right now, it's nothing in comparison to the anxiety of […] [Original post on epistolary.org]

Today, Congress failed its fundamental duty to fund our government — a responsibility enshrined in Article 1 of the Constitution. This failure to lead lies solely with the Republican majority.
Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. It is their duty to govern and craft a budget that supports our nation’s economic, physical, mental, and civic health. We Democrats have stood ready to do just that.
Instead, three times this fiscal year, the Congressional Republicans proposed a temporary budget in service of President Trump — who fomented the last government shutdown, the longest in our nation’s history.
Even more appalling is the fact that House Republicans are nowhere to be seen, at home or vacation. The failed leadership of Speaker Mike Johnson telling his members not to return to Washington.
Now, our military must serve without pay, essential federal agencies must work without adequate staffing, and our global standing is further diminished.
I’m fighting to ensure that nearly 20,000 of my constituents don’t lose their healthcare as a result of Republicans’ cruel cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act.
I urge every one of my colleagues to fight for a budget that reflects our values — one that lowers costs; strengthens healthcare; and supports America’s families, businesses, and children.

Took some very real photos this weekend that look very fake. #nofilter

A deer stands beside a street sign labeled "Beaver Lake Dr." in a grassy area with trees and an overcast sky in the background.

A vibrant orange leaf floats among green trees in a sunny forest. The sunlight filters through the canopy, creating a colorful autumn scene.

Today’s park: Probably the best park yet in terms of view and shade. Also a park sign probably older than I am, which is saying something. Also 3/4 5G signal from being at the top of the hill.

A panoramic view of a lush, green landscape featuring trees and shrubs under a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. A pathway winds through the foreground, leading towards a distant horizon of rolling hills and valleys. A house can be seen in the background.

A wooden sign indicating "Bergeys Mill, Lower Salford Township, Park System," is posted beside a road. A speed limit sign of 35 mph is visible in the background, along with greenery and trees.

Today a vendor at the Harleysville Fair wearing a “Free Mom Hugs” and rainbow ally pin said to me, “It’s so purple here it’s important to let people know where you stand.” I couldn’t agree more.

The image features a black backpack with three distinct items attached: a colorful pin with a rainbow and the text "YOU ARE SAFE WITH ME," an embroidered patch depicting the Pennsylvania state coat of arms on a blue background, and a small Masonic pin.

Today’s park along the East Branch Perkiomen Creek. Wildlife everywhere: snakes, herons, caterpillars (all up in my gear), little fish in the water. Great day to be out working.

A panoramic view of a grassy area featuring a small creek, a bench, and a purple bicycle. In the background, there are trees and a white building, with a clear blue sky dotted with clouds.

If you ask a chatbot to help you locate a specific item on a grocery store shelf it will confidently tell you a location where it isn’t and then when confronted about its absence, fabricate a picture with a helpful border around one it inserted for you.

A well-stocked pharmacy aisle displaying various personal care and health products. Shelves feature brands like Colgate, Crest, Advil, Tylenol, and NyQuil, alongside medications, skincare items, and feminine hygiene products.

Signs that invite more questions than they answer.

Two signs are posted near a body of water. The upper sign states the penalties for abandoning ducks or geese, including a fine of up to $500.

The image features two road signs: a gray "SPEED LIMIT 30" sign above and a yellow diamond-shaped sign that reads "THICKLY SETTLED" below. The signs are positioned next to a road surrounded by greenery.

I think I just unlocked Ultimate Dad Mode by replying with “Its not called catching it’s called fishing” to a passer by.
