The bonsai I've owned the longest, a dwarf brush cherry. My son calls it the Spider Tree. 13 years in training.

Retail Pro-Tip: when you're going to hike your prices to then offer a bullshit "sale" price, remember to pull the old sticker first.
Belvita crackers, listed for regular price $4.49. underneath is a sale sticker proclaiming, "Lower price, was $4.79, now $4.49"

The most frustrating thing about these spam texts is that they never reply to my sincere questions.

Error 404

This is the actual page y'all, not a shop.
In browser screenshot. Site:whitehouse.gov Error 404 displayed. The white house apparently has a custom 404 graphic. A looming 404 menacingly hovers over the white house, under which reads the text "PAGE NOT FOUND" under that, a button: GO GOME

Some more snowsai shots...

They're cold-hardy bonsai, set on the ground to protect from the wind. I like to bury the base in snow for extra insulation and protection of the roots.

"You'll be visited by three spirits."

The three spirits:
The Dude, Donny (stfu), and Walter at a bowling alley (not on Shabos. Walter doesn't fucking roll on Shabos).

Some serious timeline serendipity
Screen cap of 2 skeets. Both are about backflips. One into open sugar, the other about how cool they are.

My kid was learning about landmasses at school. Folx, I present to you: the PENNISULA 💀
A vaguely penile drawing of a peninsula, captioned in a child's scrawl, "Pennisula" Autocorrect did NOT want me to type that.

art vs artist 🌲
Goshin, America's most famous bonsai. It's an 11 tree juniper forest style. The tallest tree is almost 4 feet tall. The trees represent the artist's 11 grandchildren. Legendary Japanese-American bonsai artist John Naka.
