Not sure if it's a "my dad" thing or "all Irish dads" thing but the man cannot envisage a meal without spuds. I made an entire lasagna once and found him panic-mashing a bowl of Kerr's Pinks in the corner

The sun is bringing the beauty both night and day this week with overnight Aurora's followed by a spectacular sunrise with morning's first light splashing on the underside of a cloud deck over Colorado.
Northern lights display green and red shades above homes along a calm lakeshore. Morning sunrise displays blue and gold hues on the bottom of a cloud layer .

Parallel lines
Grouping of twelves color photographs illustrating parallel lines. From the top left, going L to R: elevated train supports; horizontal metal fence; vertical stripes on the Aon Building; power lines; decorated wood ceiling beams; bricks in a sort of chevron pattern; vertical blinds in a window; grain silos; boat docks; vertical mullions on a skyscraper; horizontal arrangement of red, orange, gold, and white tile; red tiles on a roof with snow between each row.

Hi Yard Bunny! This one is making almost daily visits, early morning and late afternoon.

A mostly brown cottontail rabbit is sitting in a back corner of a yard on a late afternoon in filtered sunlight. The rabbit is looking at the camera and its ears are pointing towards the sky.

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

(I’m begging you: not the darkly thoughtful self-exegesis. There are enough things that “make you think” in the world. I would desperately like Bond not to be one of them. That’s opening a Mars bar and finding it’s made of bran.)

Sorry, these are even better. 4906-14 W. Iowa, 1915 (Harlev & Aga architects)

Street View of four two-flats in different shades of red brick. Large entry porches/second-floor balcony on left, pushing way out beyond bay on right. Cornices, parapets and sections above second-floor windows a riot of dichromatic brickwork, cream on red, variously, a snake-like symmetrical series of right angles, boxes with cream brick filling, dash-filled corbels, and what appears to be Torah scrolls. Mildly crenelated parapets also varied: stepped, pedimented, triangular and semicircle.

Toddler parent here. One of the things we're told is that you need to decide to up front if you're going to cave, and if you are to just cave right away. Letting your toddler bully you into what they wanted all along sends the wrong message.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
