Profile image looks grayscale but is a color photo; a gull on a gray day here is just that gray. Header, for contrast, is an edible-flower harvest, punnets of brilliant oranges and purply-blues and pinks, on a scrubbed washpack table.

Moral, no. Effective, possibly. Enlightening, unintentionally?

The wonderful world of technology: I can't read my (physical) mail, because Cloudflare is down and the mailroom uses electronic access control.
Another thing I miss from the Old Days is when your hosting was done by that one friend who paid for a static IP and had a basic LAMP server in a corner somewhere and gave you FTP access to host your little website. Way better than the cloud.
Not sure that "We can't use the military against people in the U.S. the way we use it against people in other countries" is really the right message.
Earlier this week I found a pair of common newts when moving pots on my #allotment plot. Thereās a large pond close by but I havenāt heard anyone at the site mention seeing newts before. This was my first time seeing newts so I was pretty excited š§”

Alex Padilla is my senator. He's gave a press conference about being thrown to the floor and handcuffed as he tried to ask a question earlier today at Kristi Noem's press conference: https://www.youtube.com/live/MJKS4syY3GY?si=uzcwNf_l_zWO-WHT&t=2131
When I was a site based engineer, the biggest complaints I dealt with were temperature control. On one floor I installed dummy thermostat controllers. Complaints on that floor dropped by two thirds.

#PPOD: Due to airglow, which is usually hard to see, the sky can glow like a giant rainbow. Disturbances like storms cause gravity waves, making airglow visible. The colors likely originate from various molecules: deep red from OH molecules at 87 km high, and orange and green from sodium and oxygen atoms higher up. This image was captured on Mount Pico in the Azores, Portugal, with Faial Island's lights in view. Credit: Miguel Claro | Dark SkyĀ® Alqueva
The owners of the property I'm staying in have done an impressive amount of work for wildlife, the buildings are dotted with holes that lead to nesting cavities. Well used by these Tree Sparrows.

@johnjohnston Thatās how snails move! They make ripples on their underside. As they propel themselves forward, the parts of their foot that touch the ground move backward. Think of the snail as undulating along a stationary sine wave.
I met this snail this morning. I am wondering why its trail is ādottedā? Was it hopping;-)
