Some hachiya persimmons I bought last week were finally nice and squishy so time to make a persimmon cake. A glob of maple whipped cream and because it was Thursday, a wee dram of Armagnac.

Can we count on you to do the right thing and add your name to this list @booker.senate.gov and @kim.senate.gov?
UPDATE — With Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus), there are now at least 12 congressional Democrats, 15 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 8 Democratic candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Got a suspicious "Chat" which I am pretty sure is a phishing attempt, so keep an eye on that

Vegetable lo mein for dinner last night. Shiitakes, carrot, red bell pepper, green beans and Napa cabbage. Couldn't find snow peas but found that julienned green beans work amazing well. Big dollop of chili crisp at the table.

Recipe from "The Woks of Life" 🍽️ 🍜

Disgusted with @shaheen.senate.gov and @hassan.senate.gov right now.

You really are going to take their word that they’ll come to the table in good faith after the fact. Where have you BEEN the last decade, not to mention the last nine months. Are you serious right now? #nhpolitics #newhampshire

Some pics from yesterday's hike. Most of the trees are bare so it was all about the fungi and Bigfoot

A lichen surrounded by leaves, turkey tail mushrooms on a log and chaga(?) fungus attacking the "Hobbit Tree"

Second time doing this hike and still no Bigfoot. I'm suspecting that this is fake 🤨

Technically the growing season is over here, although I don't think we've had a hard freeze yet. Clematis, pineapple sage and alyssum still going strong.

I usually plant the pineapple sage in a pot, but had space in a bed this year. It's over 5 feet tall at this point and blooming like crazy.

Any comment there @nytimes.com? The sound of silence coming from your organization is deafening
What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.

To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

It's Thursday drop some song covers

Marlene Dietrich singing Where Have all the Flowers Gone.

Sorry about this, but I just saw Bugonia...

Since it's cool weather season I made a black walnut cake with cream cheese frosting, probably my favorite cake. Added a bit of black walnut extract which amped the flavor up nicely.

On Halloween Eve in 1938 Orson Wells produced a radio play based on The War of the Worlds. The play started as a normal musical program that segued into news reports of a Martian craft landing in Grovers Mill NJ and invading the US.

Photo of plaque in a park in Grovers Mill commemorating this play.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Doctor Who," or "Transformers." 🤖

OK, technically Murderbot is a cyborg but I have a huge crush on it so I'm posting the pic.

Some pictures from yesterday's hike. Part of it was through an area that's being actively reclaimed from farmland, fenced in to prevent deer from eating all of the new vegetation.

Red maple, Eastern cedar/juniper and bittersweet.

Acid Mothers Temple at Milk Boy last night:

Kawabata Makoto, Jyonson Tsu, Sawano Shozo & Higashi Hirosh. They have a new member on synth, vocals & tambourine but I haven't been able to find her name. Always hard to get a pic of drummer Satoshima Nani behind the other members. #AcidMothersTemple

Just back from Palm Springs. Everyone takes pics of palm trees and cacti so here's something different.

Lion fountain at our guest house (need help from my friend @shibui-shashin.bsky.social with b&w photos), sidewalk fish, ye olde stars receiving mail and for spooky month Sony Bono's head.
