Artsy long shot of hazy LA skyline framed by a loop of freeway, with another giant freeway pouring from center foreground into the vast distance toward the city.

They’re driving on the freeway of love in a pink kustom ‘35 Ford. #classiccars

“Boring, but prudent policy” may be the most Connecticut campaign slogan evah. I no longer live there, so know nothing of the merits (and this wouldn’t have been my ward anyway), but it sure got my attention. #connecticut #CTPolitics #ctpol #ct

Clip from IG newhavenindy showing 2 very New Englander people with their arms around each other and campaign signs. One sign promises “Boring, but prudent policy.”

#caturday

Large fluffy tortie-point cat being adoringly groomed by basic orange tabby.

On this day in 2022, I left the East Coast for California. I’m now feeling the grief I didn’t feel then. This was my final Jersey diner. #diners #travel #onthisday

Moody night time shot of blinged-up Jersey diner.

@Nansfruit This year, I’m trying a more aggressive combing regimen for all of them.

Paws on the table! The Official Spokescat wishes you a #caturday worth looking up to.

One of the surprises of California's rural Central Valley is how the Saturday before Easter is now PARTY TIME.

Everywhere that serves alcohol was jammed at lunch and dinner. The neighbors are having a dance party so loud that Jesus would have risen early to join the two-stepping.

If people still do dawn church services, it's gonna be wall-to-wall hangovers.

@brassawe Awwwww! We thank you!

He's a very excellent shade of orange! With such a wise expression.

Señorita Bizcochita wishes you a relaxing #Caturday.

In a nest of gray plush blanket, a large, extraordinarily fluffy tortie-point cat is half-curled. The only color is her bright blue eyes.

You know how in Lucifer’s Hammer all of the lower San Joaquin Valley is underwater except the train tracks?

Welcome to Tulare County. The water keeps going. It’s like riding across a bay. #tularefloods #tularelakereturns

Water, endless water, the same color as the sky. In the distance, some sort of industrial facility is awash up to its windows. In the near, railroad tracks vanish into the water.

The green agribusiness order of the Central Valley is such a relief. My AZ trip was productive, it was terrific to see people, & I went places I enjoy, but I’m still as out-of-place with the Scottsdale vibe as I ever was.

Landscape: straight line of fruit trees in the distance, on a field of wild grasses, under a bright blue sky with little white clouds.

Welcome to Arrakis, where the poor cannot soak their towels in the display water because bus service barely comes up here.

This was one of my favorite spots in north Scottsdale because it’s soothing and outdoors, but it’s also a display of privilege.

Landscape: splashy fountains coming straight out of the sidewalk, surrounded by seats, then palms, then upscale retail.

The old Baskin Robbins is now “Frost, A Gelato Shop.” This “Single Word, An Instance of a Category” naming is all over, suggesting a corporate overlord who thinks customers are drunk, confused, or easily distracted. Your hipsters are TIRED and want simple explanations!

Close-up of gelato in a blue MCM cup, on a brushed nickel table, with the usual sort of palm tree and umbrella nonsense in the background.

The shop names may be different but #scottsdale remains exactly the same.

I feel like Bilbo Baggins, back in Hobbiton. The adventures I left to have feel faintly unreal, as if the solidity of the place I’ve returned to denies their possibility.

Landscape: upscale shopping center in bright sunshine, dominated by palm trees.

We walk across the tarmac like 1930s movie stars, except no paparazzi, no alligators on a leash, and as little luggage as humanly possible.

I love small airports. So much less stressful. #Stockton

Colorful Allegiant jet on the tarmac in the bright morning, with line of passengers snaking put to it.

@kindmouse It’s so nice to get sunshine after our winter of rain, rain, & more rain!

Sunrise at the Stockton airport. This is a little modernist terminal out amidst the distribution centers and industrial parks. Today is Monday morning, so there is a commercial flight to Phoenix.

Moody sunrise landscape with a gnarled tree in silhouette in the middle distance. Behind it, low industrial buildings include an airplane hanger. In front of the hanger are many small personal planes.

Señorita Bizcochita races up to the mirror in my room and gets in a slap fight with her own reflection.

Wishing you a #caturday on which you’re not your own worse enemy!

Bedroom with mirrored closet doors, most of it only hinted at because the pic focuses on a large fluffy colorpoint cat who stands on her hind legs in front of the mirrored closet doors, slapping her own reflection.

@Nansfruit We've mostly avoided the worst of it, though the deluge around 11:30 this morning was dramatic.

I am so sick of rain!!! How's it down your way?
