I really should post more interesting things that have nothing to do with everything going on around us.

Like this unicorn balloon that we bought for our NYE party almost 10 months ago which continues to live and brighten up my day, every day.
A free standing, inflated unicorn balloon sitting on a wood shelf. The unicorn is white with a rainbow mane and tail, a gold horn, rosy cheeks, and a serene expression.

Absolutely.

On that note it's amazing how dogs can figure out how to be comfortable no matter the situation.

They are ludicrously adorable. Here's one living at the San Diego Safari (ne Wild Animal) Park (taken through the habitat glass, please excuse the reflection).
A sand cat curled up and sleeping on an overstuffed pillow within an artificial log. Its face looks peaceful and undisturbed.

Beauty can be found everywhere if you take the time to look.

As a tall person, all I can say is to repost this awesome Strange Planet comic.
A Strange Planet comic by Nathan Pyle depicting a "long being" (tall person) retrieving an item off a high shelf for a fellow, shorter being. The punchline is the long being saying, "I have accepted my role in society."

Is Christmas over??
Jack, a mostly black dog, hangs his head and front paws over the back of a red chair covered with an off-white comforter. Jack has a pleading look on his face. A lit Christmas tree, fireplace, and decorated mantel are in the background.

The first Peppermint Jo-Jo of the season is always cause for celebration.

This little cutie is our grand dog, Harley, who is staying with us for a while. She's a pill but we love her.

Voted early! They were out of the "I voted" stickers so I got one in Spanish.
A selfie of me wearing a green T-shirt with a white oval sticker that reads "Yo vote" next to an American flag. The shirt has a graphic of a tired-looking owl in a tree, surrounded by singing birds.

National Black Dog Day you say? What if you only have a large cat?

Also spotted at Target yesterday.
A bag of "Temptations" cat treats in limited edition "Mix Up" Halloween packaging, showing a white cat wearing a witch hat stirring a cauldron full of human limbs. The treats are listed as "Tasty Human" flavor.

Is this the new ICQ number? (I was in the 600Ks back in the day).

Given how many people I follow are posting their five digit numbers, I feel pretty ordinary.
A Bluesky banner indicating that I was User #532,579 on the site, having joined August 9, 2023, with a little blue badge proclaiming this is one of the first 10%.

The World's Littlest Skyscraper, 1919, Wichita Falls, Texas.
An oblique view of a thin, four-story brick masonry building just wide enough for a door and window on its facade. A small blue sign on the neighboring one-story building reads "The World's Littlest Skyscraper" in white letters, with an arrow pointing at the taller building.

This is... well, this is something.

I planted a passion flower in our backyard this spring and it's coming along nicely. The only bad part is the flowers are very ephemeral and hard to catch since they only last a day.
A close up of a white and purple passion flower bloom, with dark green leaves and a grey wood fence in the background.

I like to take photos of interesting plants and flowers I see on my walks. Today it was these tiny little purple flowers.
A thick cluster of small, purple flowers with five petals and yellow centers, no more than a couple inches in height. The soil is grey and gravelly.

Found this interesting mushroom on my walk the other day, it looks like it's wearing a little brown hat.
A white bulbous mushroom coming up from brown thatch, with white fringe on its cap. Green grass blades are in the fore and backgrounds. A bit of dirt on the top of the mushroom resembles a hat.
