OK, this is genuinely scary. It's a picture of me, aged 5. It was taken in 1960. It was scanned and uploaded to Google Photos in 2002. No one has told Google where it was taken. But the map, bottom right, is correct.
Obviously, in 1960, my father's pre-war Exakta camera did not have GPS. Could you identify, from that picture, exactly where it was taken?
Google can.

Welcome.
Bathroom's down the hall, to the left.
The only rule: Don't talk about Fight Club.
The only other rule: all posts must take into account the Fediverse's core purpose: That of being an Abe Vigoda tribute site
Enjoy! 😜

Sorry, but I'm not going to watch "A Pickleball Christmas" until I see its Rotten Tomatoes rating...can't be too careful
My Bing Crosby and Dean Martin impressions are eerily similar. You have to listen pretty closely to parse 'em...
Xmas fun fact: the older you get, the "cool box" to "cool present" ratio increases...

Merry Christmas to all who feel the spirit. 🎄
I've read memoirs that were diaristic (the preferred literary critical term), but I've also read some that are "diaretic", lol
Maybe our black house #Cat is mostly redacted?
If you aren't already a connoisseur of #SFF , reading and reviewing my 2021 fantasy novel *The Be(k)nighted, The Untold Origin of The Precept* is going to be tough—a bit like giving a horse review after riding a Unicorn.

A new day. A new chance to succeed.
The thing about last minute tasks isn't that they're last minute. It's that they're sometimes necessary.
Cooking dinner is almost always done "last minute" so it can be served hot and fresh. I'm a "look in the pantry, what can I make?" kind of guy.
It can be frustrating to be racing the clock as unfinished tasks pile up, but staying calm lets me put my energy on the tasks.
Whatever your last minute tasks might be, I hope you face them calmly #today
